Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented, “UMH Properties continues to deliver strong operational and financial performance. Normalized FFO per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $0.25 as compared to $0.23 per share last year, representing an increase of approximately 9%. This earnings growth was the result of our years of hard work investing in and growing the company. This quarter was highlighted by continued occupancy and associated revenue growth and a new quarterly sales record.”

“Our communities continue to experience strong demand which is being translated into increased sales profitability, growing occupancy and improving community operating results. During the quarter, sales of manufactured homes, including Honey Ridge, increased to $11.5 million as compared to $10.5 million last year, representing an increase of approximately 10%. Our sales pipeline remains solid and we anticipate continued sales growth throughout the remainder of the year. Our same property operating results continue to highlight the strength of our long-term business plan and the quality and desirability of our communities. During the quarter, same property income increased by 8.1% driving same property NOI growth of 8.8%. Additionally, same property occupancy improved by 437 units over last year.”

“We continue to make progress building a strong and stable business with growing revenue and additional future growth opportunities. With approximately 3,200 vacant sites and 2,400 acres of vacant land, we can continue to grow revenue and earnings organically for the foreseeable future.”

“We are well-positioned with a strong balance sheet to execute on our growth initiatives which should result in per share earnings growth going forward. We are reiterating our current guidance range of $0.98 - $1.04 (3) per diluted share. We remain confident in hitting the midpoint of our guidance range.”

Note:

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 certain 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. FFO and Normalized FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.

The diluted weighted shares outstanding used in the calculation of FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share were 85.6 million and 85.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and 84.8 million and 84.1 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 6.9 million shares of common stock amounted to 380,000 shares and 384,000 shares, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income per Share. Common stock equivalents resulting from employee stock options to purchase 6.3 million shares of common stock amounted to 805,000 shares and 818,000 shares, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were included in the computation of Diluted Net Income per Share.
