FRP Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Key Takeaways

• Negative Sentiment: Full-year NOI guidance was reduced to approximately $36.2 million from $37.1 million, primarily due to delayed industrial lease-up and operating headwinds in the Washington, D.C., multifamily portfolio.
• Negative Sentiment: D.C. multifamily continues to face elevated delinquency and supply pressures; management said roughly 8% of tenants are not paying, while trade-out rents are about 10% below those of departing tenants.
• Positive Sentiment: Industrial leasing activity has improved materially, with approximately 20,700 square feet signed and another 97,500 square feet under active negotiation, while the development pipeline is expected to expand the industrial portfolio from 800,000 to roughly 2.1 million square feet by early 2027.
• Positive Sentiment: FRP reported approximately $130 million of liquidity, $101 million of cash, debt-service coverage of 2.82 times, and net debt at about 19% of fair market value, providing flexibility to fund leasing and development.
• Neutral Sentiment: Mining generated approximately $4.1 million of quarterly NOI, up 12% year over year, while management said most discretionary growth capital will focus on industrial assets; executives currently favor development and leasing investments over a meaningful dividend or share-repurchase program.

Presentation

[Operator]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the FRP Holdings, Inc. Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. All lines have been placed on a listen-only mode, and the call will be open for questions and comments following the management presentation. At this time, it is my pleasure to turn the call over to Matt McNulty.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

Thank you, Mike. Good morning, and thank you for joining us today. I'm Matt McNulty, Chief Financial Officer of FRP Holdings, Inc.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

I will now turn the call over to our President and Chief Operating Officer, David deVilliers III, for his report on operations. David.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Thank you, Matt, and good morning, everyone. The second quarter unfolded largely as we expected. Industrial leasing continues to take longer than we originally underwrote, but tenant activity continues to improve. Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong, and our long-term strategy has not changed. Let me begin with where FRP is headed, because it frames everything we do. At FRP, disciplined capital allocation is at the core of our strategy. We continually evaluate where each incremental dollar can earn the highest long-term risk-adjusted return. That philosophy has created a portfolio and pipeline that includes industrial, multifamily, and mining royalties. Each business generates recurring NOI, creates long-term, shareholder value, and plays an important role in our company. As we look ahead, however, we believe our greatest opportunity is industrial. Industrial real estate includes logistics, manufacturing, distribution, and service-oriented industrial users. This offers the most attractive long-term investment opportunity across our markets.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Accordingly, we expect most of our future discretionary growth capital to be invested in expanding our industrial portfolio. We are not changing who FRP is; we are changing where incremental capital goes. Our objective is to grow industrial into a larger contributor to NOI and FFO over time while continuing to own, operate, develop, and maximize the value of our multifamily and mining businesses. Our riverfront project along the Anacostia River illustrates that philosophy well. It is not simply another multifamily development. It is a legacy land position where years of entitlement, infrastructure investment, and development have created value and returns that would be difficult to replicate by acquiring a comparable site today. Those legacy opportunities remain an important part of FRP's long-term value creation. Together, these three businesses provide recurring NOI, financial strength, and the flexibility to continue investing for the long term.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We are executing that strategy from a position of financial strength. We ended the quarter with approximately $130 million of liquidity, including approximately $101 million of cash, supported by a conservatively leveraged balance sheet. That financial strength gives us the flexibility to lease, stabilize, and selectively invest while maintaining the discipline that has long defined FRP. For the quarter, we generated approximately $9.4 million of pro forma NOI and FFO of approximately $4.1 million, or $0.21 per share. During the past year, the acquisition of the Altman Logistics significantly expanded both the scale of our industrial platform and the operating capabilities needed to execute this strategy. As our current industrial development pipeline delivers through the first quarter of next year, our industrial portfolio will grow from approximately 800,000 square feet at the end of 2025 to approximately 2.1 million square feet. Encouragingly, leasing momentum continues to improve.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Property tours, proposals, tenant discussions, and active negotiations have all increased across multiple markets. We have signed approximately 20,700 square feet and have another approximately 97,500 square feet in active lease negotiations. While lease execution remains uneven, tenant activity today is materially stronger than it was a year ago, giving us greater confidence that occupancy and FFO will improve as more of those discussions convert into signed leases. Mining generated approximately $4.1 million of NOI during the quarter, an increase of approximately 12% year-over-year. It remains a highly efficient business that produces durable recurring cash flow while requiring very little incremental capital and continues to provide important funding and balance sheet flexibility for our development strategy. The multifamily development pipeline will deliver 510 units in Greenville, South Carolina and Estero, Florida in the first quarter of 2028, growing the portfolio from 1,827 units to 2,337 units.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Within multifamily, the operating environment remains mixed. Greenville continues to perform well, while Washington, D.C., continues to be affected by elevated new supply and higher delinquency. We continue to view the supply pressures as cyclical rather than structural, although collections and delinquency remain influenced by the District's regulatory environment. Our focus is straightforward: operate the portfolio well, complete the developments already underway, and continue creating long-term value through disciplined execution. Multifamily remains an important business for FRP, just as mining remains an important business, and together they complement the continued growth of our industrial platform. Together, our industrial and multifamily development pipeline discussed above represents approximately $506 million of total project costs and approximately $34 million of expected stabilized NOI, of which approximately $16.6 million is FRP's share. Our objective is straightforward: deliver these projects, lease them, stabilize them, and maximize the value they create for shareholders.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We now expect full-year NOI of approximately $36.2 million, compared with our original plan of $37.1 million. The roughly $900,000 reduction primarily reflects $800,000 from delayed industrial lease-up and $1 million of operating headwinds in our Washington, D.C., multifamily portfolio. This is partially offset by the $850,000 of stronger than expected mining performance. Near term, FFO will continue to reflect lease-up timing, elevated platform costs, and higher interest expense. Importantly, the investments we have made in people, systems, and technology have established the operating platform needed to support a much larger company and should generate meaningful operating leverage as occupancy improves. Our balance sheet remains one of our greatest competitive advantages, with debt service coverage of approximately 2.82 times and net debt equal to approximately 19% of fair market value and substantial available liquidity.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Our strategy is straightforward: continue leasing our industrial portfolio, deliver and stabilize the developments already underway, maintain one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, and continue investing in the long-term growth of our industrial platform while maximizing the value of the multifamily and mining businesses we already own. We believe consistent execution against those priorities will create substantial long-term shareholder value. With that, I'll turn the call over to Mark Levy, our Chief Investment Officer.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Thank you, David, and good morning. I'd like to spend a few minutes providing some perspective on our industrial portfolio, what we are seeing in the leasing market today, and how we are positioning the business as the current development cycle continues to evolve. An important place to start is where we are in the life cycle of the portfolio. A significant portion of our development pipeline has either only recently delivered or is still approaching completion. This is against the backdrop of improving leasing fundamentals. Although tenant decision making remains deliberate and transaction timelines remain longer than historical norms, activity overall has significantly increased as tenants across the spectrum continue to have solid operational results and maintain strong corporate balance sheets. Most tenants are focused on the necessary investment to continue growth and increase market share. We are observing a manifestation of this across our portfolio.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

We currently have in process more than 110,000 square feet of renewals and pending new transactions, which is significant in the context of our available vacancies and have seen a notable increase in new-to-market leasing activity, particularly at Delray, Davie, and Lakeland, the latter two of which have not yet reached substantial completion. While concessions remain elevated relative to prior cycles, rental rates have remained quite resilient. The supply environment is also becoming increasingly constructive. Nationally, the industrial construction pipeline has contracted roughly 60% from its 2022, 2023 cycle peak. At the same time, absorption is strengthening. We believe this combination should create an increasingly favorable supply-demand environment for projects delivering in the near to immediate term. This dynamic is particularly evident in our core markets of Florida, New Jersey, and Maryland, where regulatory constraints, development restrictions, and community opposition have made bringing new industrial supply to market increasingly difficult.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Last, we have made meaningful changes to how we approach leasing and marketing across the portfolio. We have changed almost all elements of our leasing playbook, anchored by leaning heavily into longstanding relationships with tenants and the brokerage community. Those relationships are an important competitive advantage and differentiator as we work to convert this activity to executed leases. Looking ahead, our priorities are consistent and remain unchanged. We remain focused on incremental improvements in occupancy quarter-over-quarter, while selectively advancing new opportunities in core logistics markets, supported by long-term demand drivers and meaningful barriers to entry. While the near term objectives of leasing are indisputable, it is equally important we seek to build enterprise scale as we transition to a highly focused industrial operating and investment platform. With that, I'll turn the call over to John Baker for his closing remarks.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Thank you, Mark, and good morning to everyone on the call. Overall results for the quarter were down modestly versus a year ago, but largely in line with our expectations, reflecting the occupancy pressures that have affected our D.C. multifamily assets and our Maryland industrial portfolio over the past several quarters. Those headwinds are still with us, but as I said last quarter, we've begun to see increased inquiry and leasing activity across most of our markets. That activity and engagement with potential tenants remains much higher than last year. We just have yet to see that activity and engagement translate into additional signed leases. The optimism I expressed in Q1 remains, albeit a more cautious optimism. As David said, execution is the priority, and we are focused on the things we can control.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

We have strengthened our leasing team to bring it in line with our stated focus of getting our industrial and logistics assets leased and stabilized. As I have said before, the single most important lever we have to improve the company's performance is same-store leasing. It has the most immediate impact and requires very little capital relative to development. It remains management's top priority, and while we did not see our efforts translate into tangible results, all of us are of one mind that given our assets and the team behind them, we will. Focusing on process over results is a cliché for a reason; it's true. Operator, let's open the call for questions.

[Operator]

The floor is now open for questions. If you wish to ask a question at this time, please press star one on your keypad to join the queue. We do ask, if listening on speakerphone this morning, that you pick your handset up while asking your question for optimal sound quality. Once again, please press star one on your keypad now to join the queue to ask a question. Please hold a moment while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from Bill with Horizon Partners.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Hey, guys. I'm trying to figure out what's going on in multifamily in D.C. We own Camden, obviously rent and NOI trends are weak everywhere in D.C., in the Sun Belt. It seems like the D.C. assets owned by FRP is getting hit a little bit harder. Could you provide some color on that?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Sure, Bill. Good to hear from you. To get a little granular with D.C., I would say that our renewal increases—we are seeing positive across the board. I would say all of them are above 1.5% in terms of renewal increases for this quarter. Where we're really getting hit is trade-outs. When people leave and we've got to bring new tenants in, the trade-out rates are 10% lower than the previous tenant. There's a focus on keeping tenants, for sure, and our renewal rates on tenants are above 50%. That's the good part. The tough part is about 8% of these tenants aren't paying; that's the real headwind. It's really a product of the district's policies. Right now, the court systems are packed with all of us trying to get these tenants out.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We're looking at 12 months, 18 months to get these tenants out. Once a tenant stops paying, that delinquency stays with us for a long time. That's kind of the landscape down in D.C. right now. I don't see it changing anytime soon. We're getting better at interviewing and preempting delinquencies, which has helped some. I would say that our economic occupancy this quarter has ticked up, probably 75 basis points; we hope to continue to see that trend. We still have a pretty significant delinquency headwind from occupancy to economic occupancy.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

I would like to clarify, is that consistent across Marin, Dock79, Bryant Street, and Verge, or is it more heavily weighted towards, say, Bryant Street? I spend a lot of time on the ground there. The Marin and Dock, in my opinion, are one of the more premier assets down there with market-leading rent. Is the issue across the whole portfolio in D.C., or is it just specific to certain properties?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

It's across the board. It really is.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. Unfortunately, it's all related to what David said. It's the district's policies on being able to evict tenants, and it takes so long that people have learned this. There's whole scams out there about it, and they're coming into the building knowing they're never going to pay rent. It doesn't matter what building it is. If they can get past the guard gate and get a lease signed, they don't intend to pay. That's the big problem. It's not everybody, obviously. Most people are good people, and they pay the rent. There's a small portion of people out there that have figured out this problem and are taking advantage of it, and the district's got to do something to fix it.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

David, correct me if I'm wrong, but the issue of delinquencies has been something of a constant, and the extent to which it impacts us has sort of ebbed and flowed from quarter to quarter. The real issue that's been hitting us hard lately is the just increased supply in the kind of Anacostia sub-market of D.C., right?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

The supply really hurts us on the trade-outs. We're trying to compete with all these new deliveries, and concessions are up. To attract trade-outs, we've got to compete against that. That's a piece of it. Again, as the supply gets filled and that asset kind of moves into a more stabilized position, we're kind of all on a more equal playing field, and we see that coming out. The delinquencies—I don't see that changing anytime soon. That is a big hit for us.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

I think to your point, we've been dealing with the delinquency issue for the last few years for sure. I think it's ticked up slightly in the last six to nine months.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Okay. Well, I appreciate the color, I'm just a little bit surprised because Camden is our biggest position, 13% of their NOI is in D.C. I've met with them for the past few years, they told us about this particular issue in Atlanta, it was a big issue for them in Atlanta with the frauds, I have never heard of them mention anything about D.C. being. I'm aware that this is an issue. People are very entrepreneurial, as you could say, if they could get a year of free rent. It's just not an issue that they're dealing with. I don't know if it's better detection, the use of AI, whatever it may be, I'm just a little bit surprised by the delta between what you guys are facing and the degree of delinquency versus what they are.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

It's just not even mentioned about whenever I talk with them, we had a face-to-face with them in June. I would encourage the team to.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Camden's located where?

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

They have-

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Atlanta, Georgia?

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

They have 60,000 units, 13% of their NOI is in the D.C., Northern Virginia area.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Got you.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

That's insignificant. They have a 60,000, 13% of that's a lot of units. They definitely have exposure to the area. My suggestion would be, they're clearly doing something where they're not dealing with this level of tenants not paying. I would definitely look into what kind of tools they're implementing because I think the screening process needs to improve here.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. We agree that the screening, we have been working on that with our property manager for the last 18 months and have implemented some new things, they've been pleased with some of the results of being able to detect fraud in ways they couldn't before. We'll continue to work on it for sure. We know it's an issue.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Yeah. I know a few years ago, we were all real excited about some of the acquisitions that we made in the Maryland area for industrials. Cranberry, for a little while, looked like a really good use of capital. That was very quickly leased up. Then we were a little bit surprised by a lot of tenants leaving there. Then Chelsea, I think that's still really, I mean, that's functionally all vacant right now. Can we just like, help me understand what's going on there. I know that U.S. overall vacancy is higher, again, it's just the degree of delta. I know you guys have a smaller portfolio, so if you get a couple leases that don't come through, it's magnified. Again, what's going on with the Maryland, Baltimore market as it relates to warehouses?

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

I kind of thought that Chelsea would be a little bit further along on the lease up. I don't know, I can't tell what percent occupied lease Cranberry is these days. If you can provide some color on that'd be helpful.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Sure. I'll start, and I will hand it over to Mark. As relates to, I would call our Maryland same store, which is really the Hollander Business Park in Baltimore City and the Cranberry Business Park in Harford County. That same store portfolio in Maryland was 92% occupied Q1 2025. To your point, over time, currently it sits at 70.6% occupied. We lost a number of tenants, a lot of government tenants. We had one tenant that basically went bankrupt, and we had to throw them out, which was a big, big headwind. We have tremendous activity at Cranberry right now, and we really see that ticking up into next quarter.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We have a number of renewals that we're working on right now, and we've got a number of tenants that we're in lease negotiations with right now, and we hope to see some changes here in the very, very near future. Chelsea, we delivered last year. It's a product of really, really long, long decision cycles for tenants. With that, I'll kind of turn it over to Mark to give additional color on the market and what he's seeing on the ground.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. Really what we're seeing overall is that Harford County and Cecil County—sort of call it the Baltimore north markets—really, I would describe those markets as being caught between sort of larger logistics markets. What is happening is that a number of larger users, call it north of 250,000 sq ft, have been really looking at consolidation, and figuring out ways that they can centralize their distribution operations to service a much larger region. That is just a part of the overall evolution of sort of the dynamics around sort of supply chain. What is happening is that users are really looking at locations that allow them to essentially get from, call it Richmond to New York City, within kind of a day's drive. Oftentimes, a lot of those decisions lean into markets like Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

There's been a tremendous amount of vacancy in Southern New Jersey, what I would describe as south of Exit 6 on the turnpike. There has been a tremendous opportunity for tenants to take advantage of the oversupply that has existed there. That has frankly captured a lot of the tenant demand that is in the market. That is sort of compounded by the fact that a lot of those sites in New Jersey have economic incentives associated with them, i.e. PILOTs and other job creation incentives, which further create a delta between Chelsea and those opportunities. That's kind of where we've been. The good news is that a lot of that space has really been absorbed.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

The amount of supply that remains—competitive supply that remains—is a fraction of what it has been over the last, call it 15 months; there is very few new projects in the pipeline. We are sort of seeing an opening relative to being able to capture some of that demand just based on pure availability. That is kind of what I would sort of describe as the story over the last 15 to 24 months overall. I think relative to Cranberry, look, I think the local tenant pool is not very deep. You're talking about generally smaller tenants that are looking at that project. That tenant pool tends to draft off of larger tenants. There are ancillary businesses that are sort of created or grow based on servicing a larger tenant base.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Given that that market has been slow, there has not been a lot of organic growth within that local tenant pool. Cranberry is not going to attract a tenant from outside of the market. Again, it's very organic in nature. Those are the reasons. I would tell you that optimistically, for the reasons that I just mentioned, I think that we have sort of turned the corner relative to that. We've got a couple build-to-suits that we're looking at that are fairly large, especially in our phase II at Crouse. I do think that there are better days ahead for the market.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Okay. I've been following this company for, I've been a shareholder for 12 years now, I don't know, somewhere in that range, I've seen a lot. You mentioned build-to-suit and you mentioned Crouse. Is the strategy going forward to do any more spec? Crouse is 635,000 square foot. As a shareholder, I'd be very worried about doing a spec on something like Crouse or Mechanics Valley given the size.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Well, I don't think the business plan today is to build or to deliver more spec space into the market unless the fundamentals would dictate otherwise. The build-to-suit market is unique in the sense that there are very specialized operational requirements that tenants have that oftentimes cannot be accommodated in a spec building, at least cost effectively. I think our focus relative to Mechanics Valley and Crouse is to continue to market those sites relative to build-to-suit opportunities. If the fundamentals in the market change, and we see some durability in those fundamentals, then I think we will obviously have a conversation as to whether or not it makes sense to develop a spec project. There is no immediate or near-term plans to do that. I think there are plans, though, to have those sites shovel-ready and to get the entitlements perfected.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

If there is an opportunity to execute, that we are in a position to do so quickly.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Okay. Mark, since I've got you here; the projects in Broward County, Camp Lake, Davie, and Lakeland now represents a big chunk of the company's asset. Could you give some color on kind of the leasing outlook or just updates on those properties?

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

Sure. In Broward County—I think by all measures, Broward County, Florida, is probably the most supply-constrained sub-market in the country, with a sub 4% vacancy rate, and extraordinarily high barriers to entry relative to identifying new development opportunities. Our site in Davie is really at the intersection of two major highway systems—actually three major highway systems; 595, the Florida Turnpike, and I95—and it's very centrally located to both the airport and Port Everglades. So it's a very unique asset in terms of its location. The building is not yet delivered. We are very close to signing a lease at a very strong rental rate for roughly 25,000 square feet, which I think will be a good bellwether for activity in the market.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

We feel very confident that we will be highly successful in the lease-up of that project at rental rates that may set sort of new precedent in the market. As it relates to Central Florida, that is really sort of the population growth story in Florida. There has been tremendous migration from inside or within the state of Florida to the I-4 corridor specifically. There's also a number of tenants that are looking to consolidate operations that may exist separately within sort of the Tampa and Orlando markets. Again, similar to what we talked about in the Northeast, there are tenants that are looking at a consolidation play in a central location that allows them to service a larger sort of population base. Ultimately, that is one of the primary drivers of Lakeland. We are seeing really a tremendous amount of activity there.

[Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings]

We have not signed any leases. The building is not complete, but we're seeing very strong activity. Camp Lake is really a population growth story as well. It's more of a localized sort of service-business-type opportunity. Think about home services and contractor requirements, things like that. Based on the large expansion of the residential base in sort of Lake County and the surrounding geography, that is really driving a lot of the demand for Camp Lake, which is very early in the process. I hope that answers your question. Certainly, I'm happy to dive in deeper if you'd like.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

No, that's helpful. I don't have any more questions, but I think I just want to share some thoughts as somebody who's been a shareholder for 12 years and who once owned—was probably like a top-5, top-10 shareholder in the company. I just want to say that, given that the 10-year is almost 5% at this point, one thing that I want the management and board to think seriously about is there has to be a strategy to return some capital to shareholder, either in the form of dividends or stock buybacks. I say this as somebody who's owned the stock for 12 years, so I'm not someone here who's looking for some sort of quick catalyst. I've been with this company for a really long time.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

We could buy REITs—really high-quality ones that pay 6% dividend yield—that's also going to grow that dividend. In the face of that kind of opportunity, there's a real opportunity cost. I think what's more important is that there has to be some thought into, five years from now, are we going to be still here and saying we're going to go on another round of huge build-out? I think there's a happy medium where the company could set aside a certain amount of cash flow, even if it's a small one, into either share buybacks.—not a share buyback just to offset management stock-based comp, but to buy back shares so that capital could be returned to shareholders.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Also do so accretively or pay a dividend because, as someone who's been with the company for 12 years, I think I've earned the right to speak my mind freely. I think that if there is no thought that goes into any form of capital return, the whole point of owning real estate and hard asset is that we do share in some sort of cash flow at some point. It's been a really long time, and I think that in five years from now, when all these assets stabilize, this company should have a lot of cash flow, a lot more cash flow than it does today.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

That is something that I think management team and board really have to think about because if there's no thought on it, then it's just another company that's just going to invest a lot more capital into the ground, into building, to grow a bigger pie, but when are we going to share in some of the cash flow? I just want to speak my mind freely. I know many people on this call many, many years. I think highly of you, but I think that's an area where the company really haven't really done much on. That's it. Thank you for answering my questions today, and thank you for allowing me to express my thoughts.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

Absolutely, Bill. We hear you, for sure, we appreciate you expressing your thoughts.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Thank you, Bill.

We now have Steven Ferro with Oppenheimer.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

Morning.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Morning, Steven.

[Matt McNulty, CFO at FRP Holdings]

Steven.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

I just have a quick question. There was a recent deal across from Bryant Street. Do you guys have any comment on that? Or, what are your thoughts?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Steven, if it's the deal that I'm thinking about, it did come up. We are in negotiations of refinancing Bryant Street. One of the major pieces to refinancing is the appraisal, and it did show up there. I think it's a good indication of where that market is right now. I think that's my comment. I think that's a good comp of where things are right now. I believe it was the Trammell Crow, the Rowan building.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

The Rowan, yeah, the building.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. It kind of closed at a 6% cap rate. I think that's a good indication of what people think about D.C. and that market right now.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

And-

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

That's kind of my thought on that.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

Just from that, how do you think Bryant Street compares just as a, not only like location, but this as retail. I don't believe that had any retail. Is Bryant Street more attractive just compared to that asset or no? Very similar.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

I am always partial to our assets, I'll leave it at that.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

With the development pipeline and what we have coming in the next, we'll call it till the end of 2027, I know we have the Opportunity Zone taxes, I think, are in the first quarter next year. How much cash on the balance sheet is right now earmarked for developments and future use?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Steven, most of our capital has already been spent for our, I'll call it, our deliveries that I talked about. The equity capital always goes in upfront, and we've kind of committed all that. As it relates to vertical construction capital, I would say that I think about $8 million is going out over the next two quarters, and that's really going into Woven. Other than that, all of our vertical kind of capital has already been deployed. What we're focused on right now is deploying capital for leasing, and that comes when we have leases and we think that's a good use of capital. We're going to continue to entitle and get shovel-ready our sites. When we see the markets improve, we're ready to attack that and hopefully have an advantage over others.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

The capital earmarked is really for leasing and for entitlements, and that's what we have a good stable of cash or liquidity to do. Right now we've got $100 million of cash. We've got a line of credit that kind of gives us $130 million of liquidity. That's more than enough liquidity to deal with entitlements and leasing and opportunities.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

How are you judging future opportunities versus a buyback now? Just in a simple term of thinking about it, you've got a $36 million NOI, market cap's about $430 million, which is above an 8% yield for a collection of assets that have a cap rate that's much lower. What's sort of like your overall thought process on buybacks versus future developments?

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

I think as long as we've got projects to put capital into, we are always going to opt for money into new projects over a dividend or share buybacks. I feel like right now we've got a lot on our plate and I think given kind of the sort of economic uncertainty, it makes sense to hold onto cash to be able to play defense and offense. If we reached a point of where we have more cash coming in than projects to put money into then, a dividend or a meaningful share buyback program would be part of what we do. That's not the case right now, and I think that any share buybacks in the near term will be done just sort of opportunistically. That's sort of where we are with it.

[Steven Ferro, Analyst at Oppenheimer]

Okay. That's all I have. Thank you.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, Steven.

Our next questioner is David Foley with Estabrook Capital Management.

[David Foley, Analyst at Estabrook Capital Management]

Hi, good morning. I just had a quick question on G&A costs that look like they've gone up a lot, especially over the first six months of this year with the prior six months. Should we think about those G&A costs of where they've been in this first six months of this year running at a flat rate for the year, or will they come down some, or what do you see going on with that? Thanks.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Flat rate is a good way to think of it. We've kind of built out our team, and we have no real new hires on the horizon.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

I think the only thing in there, David, is there was not $1 million, but more than a half a million of sort of one-time cost in the first quarter in G&A on audit fees and legal fees that were sort of all related to that closing that won't recur, but the rest of it is pretty much a flat run rate.

[David Foley, Analyst at Estabrook Capital Management]

Okay. Thank you. I also just similar sentiments to the former caller about buybacks or dividends at some point here. Thank you. Y'all have a good day.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Yep.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, David.

[Operator]

We now have Ted Goans with Soleil.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Good morning. Thank you for taking my questions. To our first questioner, Bill, good to have you on the call. We've all sort of leaned into you asking a lot of the heavier questions. Thank you for doing that over the years. When y'all were talking about the D.C. market and the delinquency issues and the challenges, it doesn't seem like the baseball stadium is enough. I'm wondering, we have two more plats, and we have the bulkhead. Is there a talk or is there a view around developing more of an office-related ecosystem in that area, or are we just dependent on kind of absorption and then we have the low-cost land, so we're the next to build? How do y'all sort of envision that area five, six, seven, eight years from now?

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. I don't think offices. Go ahead, David. Sorry.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

No, I agree. At one point when you looked at, I will call it our riverfront properties, which we called at one point phases one, two, three, and four. Phase one is Dock 79, phase two is Marin. At one point, phase three was an office, and phase four was a hotel. Looking at that area and what was going on, we believe that that is a great multifamily area. There is some headwinds right now. It is still the nation's capital. It is still the southern entrance to the nation's capital. It is on the waterfront. We have owned that land for a while. It has a very low basis, and I think there is a great opportunity to, one, maximize the value of the land that we have, and at some point, create a multifamily waterfront portfolio there in phase three and phase four, and even 664A.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

That is what we see now. We certainly are not breaking ground right now, given what is going on there. Seven, eight years from now, we will continue to monitor the market, continue to monitor the debt markets and construction costs and where our delinquencies are going. We have got great intel into that area. The data that we have is real. It is in our sandbox, and we will see where it goes and make the right decision.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

With regards to the bulkhead for 664, as you describe it, I have this recollection that that lease period was around now?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Correct

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Do we have better economics from that in a relatively short period of time?

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We are currently in discussions with the tenant that's been there for a very long time.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Yeah.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

We expect them to stay there until we're ready to develop, or until it becomes a nuisance to our adjacent properties, which at this point, it's just not. We expect them to be there for a while until we're ready to break ground and develop that site.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Yeah, I suspect that's a tricky one both ways. Good luck with that. Can we talk about the lease absorptions that will occur in the warehouses in Florida? How do you intend to communicate that to your investors? Is that going to be through your quarterly earnings release, or do you intend to sort of issue press releases so we can follow the progress along there?

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Quarterly.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Okay. I read an article recently, we probably all read the same articles about demand for real estate in Florida, have y'all moved up a timeframe on Brooksville at all?

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Moved up the timeframe for development?

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Yes.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Yeah. There was never a timeframe. It's just purely a function of the right developer coming along and wanting to take that property down. The calcium mining is a really wonderful interim use. Someday when somebody wants to develop that land, they'll approach us. There's no timeframe.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Okay. I think I read most regulatory filings reasonably well, but not always. There was a fairly significant, it looked like a purchase in mid-March by our chairman. Am I reading that correctly? That was an outright purchase of shares.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Correct. Yes.

[Ted Goans, Analyst at Soleil]

Congratulations on that, and thank you. I don't have any more questions. Thank you.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, Ted.

We now hear from Morris Propp with Propp Company.

[Morris Propp, Shareholder at Propp Company]

Hi.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Hey, Morris.

[Morris Propp, Shareholder at Propp Company]

I don't think I've been on the call before. I'm your fourth-largest shareholder—outside shareholder. I'm old, and I've come across many developers who love to develop, and they focus on developing. They love it, and they don't make money at it. Many even go bankrupt. You guys are management-heavy, and you're talking about developing. Stop developing. Start managing your properties. The first thing I would do is not do anything more in blue states. We own real estate in blue states that we've been liquidating because it's an anchor. It's a political anchor. Landlords have no power None. You're witnessing that. You're witnessing that in D.C. You can't even enforce your rent. No more blue states, no more money spent in blue states. I would say to you: start putting your properties on the market in blue states.

[Morris Propp, Shareholder at Propp Company]

As far as, you develop stuff, but you don't manage it. Your earlier caller talked about buybacks. What is the matter with you people? You get this beautiful cash flow coming in from your mining revenues, royalties, and you think you can just go piss it all away. I'm really, really disappointed that you are still talking about spending another nickel in a blue state. You don't learn. Get your properties leased or put them on the market. Get out of there. Start buying back your shares, act responsibly, and all of you should take a 20% cut of your salaries. You've not been performing. You have not managed your properties. Stop new developments. I'm your fourth largest shareholder, and I thought maybe it was time for somebody to really get really pissed. Thank you.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, Morris.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, Morris.

We have again.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Mike, we're having a hard time hearing you.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Bill? Hello?

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Can you hear us?

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Yes, I can hear you guys.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]

Okay.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

I wasn't going to talk about buybacks today earlier. Since other callers have brought it up, I just want to express my opinion that it's not every day that you get a company where the NAV is almost $40. You're trading at $21.50. Everybody could do the math. If you buy back shares, you're going to make 80%-90% on that capital. There is no development projects out there that will give you that kind of guaranteed return. I wish I ran a publicly traded company where I get to just buy back as many shares I can at 80%-90% accretion. The math is the math. It's very simple. I would say that I don't care about the trading liquidity. Nobody that owns this company cares about trading liquidity at this point.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

Buying back your share will send a signal to the market that the management team here cares that this is trading at a deep discount. I was not going to talk about buyback today. My previous comment was about buyback, returning capital at some point in the future. Since the topic got brought up, the answer given, I thought, I really disagree with it. It's just not the right use of capital. If you could make 80%-90% buying back shares, just do that. That's it. I wouldn't go so far to say that get all your investments out of blue states. I wouldn't go that far. I would say that right now, if there's one thing you could do to show shareholders that you care and that you understand capital allocation, you buy back shares.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

If the pushback on that is that you earmark all this capital for all that stuff, I would say that the order of priority would be you set aside the capital for leasing, you set aside the capital for any sorts of debt that you may have to refi. If you got a shovel in the ground, if you're already committed to building something, you're mid-construction, you set aside the capital for that. Any other capital that you have in excess of that should absolutely be earmarked towards buying back shares. This is not a topic that I was going to get into today. Since it was brought up by other shareholders—and also the company's answer to this just got me a little fired up—I think that the fact that this is such simple math, such an easy lever to pull.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

I just want to say, we own Camden. Camden sold their California assets and bought back 6% or 7% of their shares in the past year. They did a 1031. They did a $3 billion buying asset 1031, and they bought back shares, bought back 7% of their shares at nearly a 7% cap rate. Fantastic use of capital. We're seeing every single large blue chip REIT that we own. There's another company, AH Realty Trust, in your neck of the wood that just bought back, I think 6% or 7% of the shares just this year alone. Every REIT that we talk to have told us, this is not 2021. This is not 2023. Buybacks is absolutely a part of the capital allocation. This runs from REITs that are half a billion up to $20 billion that we talk to.

[Bill Nass, Analyst at Horizon Partners]

I think it's just absolutely tone deaf to just say that if there is an opportunity to go do developments, we're going to do developments. No, you're trading at $21.50. The trading liquidity has always been an issue. I think if you actually bought back $10 million, $20 million, $30 million worth of shares, I think the market will actually care. Thank you.

[David deVilliers III, President and COO at FRP Holdings]

Thanks, Bill.

[John Baker III, CEO at FRP Holdings]
