NEW YORK, February 26, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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 December 31, 2025.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025

For residential properties, results reflect the effects of the continuing strength of leasing at our residential properties, the second full quarter of leasing at the newly completed Dean Street residential property ("Prospect House"), and the sale of the 10 West 65th Street property in May 2025; for office properties, results reflect the cost of settling lender issues at the 141 Livingston Street commercial property in December 2025 and the first full quarter of operations at the 250 Livingston Street commercial property following the New York City lease termination in August 2025

Quarterly revenues of $37.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $38.0 million last year, including quarterly residential revenues of $30.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $28.2 million last year, an increase of $2.7 million, or 9.5% and quarterly commercial revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $6.2 million vs $9.8 million last year, a decrease of $3.6 million

Quarterly income from operations of $8.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $10.7 million last year

Net operating income ("NOI")1 of $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $22.6 million last year

Quarterly net loss of $11.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $1.1 million last year

Adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO")1 of $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 vs $8.1 million last year

Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025

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

“For the quarter, the main highlights are continued strong residential leasing and significant progress made towards resolving lender issues at our two major office properties. The residential properties continued to have high occupancy and strong renter demand. New leases exceeded previous rents by nearly 13% and renewals by over 7% and our major residential properties are leased at record levels. Furthermore, our new Prospect House property at 953 Dean Street in Brooklyn, NY is in its second quarter of lease up and leasing well. At our 141 Livingston Street office property, we are pleased to have substantially settled the lender’s claims which we had disputed.”

Story Continues

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2025

Our results reflect the strength of residential leasing and progress towards resolving issues at our two major office properties. As noted above, residential increased 9.5% and residential rents are at record levels. We have made significant progress in dealing with issues at our two major office properties, where, at the 141 Livingston Street property, we have resolved lender claims, and, at the 250 Livingston Street property, we have actively begun working with our lender. The following further describes significant items that influenced the financial results of the Company:

The Prospect House property is in the first full quarter of initial lease-up with leased occupancy of only 66.3% and much of the free-market units to be leased. As such, in the fourth quarter, the property generated revenue of $1.5 million, income from operations of $0.2 and net loss of $2.6 million. We expect these results to significantly improve as leasing progresses and the property stabilizes in 2026.

Results this quarter exclude the results of the 10 West 65th Street property which we sold in the second quarter of 2025. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the property generated revenue of $1.0 million, a loss from operations of $0.1 million and a net loss of $0.5 million.

At the 141 Livingston St property, the Company settled its issues with the lender in late December 2025 by posting a $10 million letter of credit and incurring $2.6 million of settlement expenses in return for elimination of lender’s default claims with prejudice and approval by lender of lease renewal terms with our principal tenant, New York City.

At the 250 Livingston St office property, the principal tenant, New York City, terminated its lease in mid-August as announced, with the principal remaining revenue source coming from 36 residential units. As a result, in the fourth quarter, the property generated revenues of $0.6 million vs $4.5 million last year; loss from operations of $2.0 million vs income from operations of $1.9 million last year; and net loss of $5.4 million vs net income of $2.9 million last year. However, subsequent to the lease termination, we ceased making payments for interest and property tax escrows (including default interest of 5%), so notified the property’s lender and special loan servicer indicating we did not plan to continue supporting the property’s ongoing operating and debt service shortfall. We also applied for reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses, principally insurance, and began negotiating a Consent and Cooperation agreement. The lender has made all scheduled real estate tax payments to-date. The mortgage loan is non-recourse to the Company. As a result, our discussions with the lender may result in the Company not funding the above expenses, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Revenues. For the fourth quarter of 2025, revenues were $37.1 million as compared to revenue of $38.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.9 million. These results include increased residential revenue of $2.7 million due to increases in rental rates and high occupancy at all stabilized properties ($2.2 million), limited additional revenue from the Prospect House property now in its second quarter of leasing ($1.5 million), less the absence of residential revenue from the 10 West 65th Street property sold in May 2025 ($1.0 million). Commercial revenue decreased by $3.6 million compared to the prior year because of increased commercial revenue from new leases of vacant space at the Tribeca House and Aspen properties ($0.3 million) less a decrease in revenue at the 250 Livingston Street office property because of the New York City lease termination described above ($3.9 million).

Net Loss. For the fourth quarter of 2025, net loss was $11.3 million ($0.30 per share) compared to net loss of $1.1 million ($0.05 per share) for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase in net loss of $10.2 million. For residential properties, these results include greater revenue from the strong leasing discussed above net of higher expenses (primarily property level payroll and utility expense and greater amortization of stock-based executive compensation) ($0.6 million), the net loss from the Prospect House property in its initial leasing period ($2.6 million), and the absence of net loss from the 10 West 65th Street property sold in May 2025 ($0.5 million). For commercial office properties, the increased net loss, as more fully described above, resulted from the New York City lease termination in August 2025 at the 250 Livingston Street property ($6.1 million), and the expense of settling disputed issues with the lender to the 141 Livingston Street office property ($2.6 million).

AFFO. For the fourth quarter of 2025, AFFO was $1.7 million, or $0.4 per share, compared to $8.1 million, or $0.19 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $6.4 million. These results include an increase in AFFO from residential properties because of the improved revenue noted above, less negative AFFO from the Prospect House initial leasing period plus the absence of negative AFFO from the 10 West 65th Street property sold in May 2025. As the reasons discussed above, the 250 Livingston Street office property incurred greater negative AFFO because of the New York City lease termination.


1 NOI and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of these financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this release.

Balance Sheet

On December 31, 2025, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) were $1,286.2 million, compared to $1,275.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional borrowings on the Prospect House bridge loan refinancing in May including additional draws through December 2025 substantially offset by debt retired in the sale of the 10 West 65th Street property in May 2025.

On December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $30.8 million compared to $19.9 million at December 31, 2024, and restricted cash was $27.3 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to strong operating cash flow from our residential properties net of capital spending, net proceeds from the sale of the 10 West 65th Street property, net proceeds from the Prospect House bridge loan refinancing in May less additional escrow payments at the 250 Livingston Street property and payment of distributions. The increase in restricted cash was primarily due to the escrow payments at the 250 Livingston Street property and escrow accounts established in the Prospect House bridge loan refinancing.

Dividend

The Company today declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on March 12, 2026, payable March 19, 2026.

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	$	0.04		$	0.19		$	0.56		$	0.68

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 December 31,						Year Ended December 31,

Adjusted EBITDA	$	17,457		$	19,497		$	74,087		$	74,123

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):
