BRT Apartments Corp. (BRT)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 results were steady operationally with modest top-line growth: total revenues rose to $24.43M and combined portfolio NOI was $15.33M; however GAAP net loss widened to $2.71M and diluted loss per share held at $(0.14) .
- EPS and revenue slightly beat Wall Street consensus: EPS of $(0.14) vs $(0.15), revenue of $24.36M vs $23.95M; estimate coverage was thin (2 EPS, 3 revenue) which can magnify perceived surprises*.
- FFO and AFFO per diluted share were resilient at $0.28 and $0.36, respectively, with AFFO flat and FFO down 1c sequentially .
- Strategic activity continued: two JV acquisitions (Auburn, AL; Savannah, GA), a mortgage refinancing (San Marcos, TX), and an active buyback authorization ($8.75M remaining) with intent to pay down the credit facility by year-end 2025 .
- Potential catalysts: execution on planned credit facility paydown, occupancy stabilization + rent growth trajectory into 2026, and integration/ROI from recent acquisitions .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- AFFO per diluted share held at $0.36, supporting dividend coverage and near-term cash flow stability .
- Operational KPIs remained healthy: combined portfolio occupancy 94.5% and weighted average rent per occupied unit $1,414; combined revenues up slightly YoY and QoQ .
- Strategic acquisitions support Sunbelt focus and AFFO/NAV growth goals; CEO: “we are taking another strong step in implementing our strategy… finding opportunities… that will drive AFFO and NAV per share growth” (re: Oaks at Victory) .
What Went Wrong
- GAAP net loss widened YoY to $2.71M and equity in earnings of unconsolidated JVs swung to a small loss of $75K in Q3 (vs +$369K YoY), reflecting depreciation and financing costs burdening GAAP results .
- Same-store NOI declined YoY on a combined basis (Q3: $15.335M vs $15.662M, -2.1%), with Texas consolidated NOI notably weaker YoY amid lower rents/occupancy .
- Interest expense increased to $5.88M (+$0.14M YoY), contributing to GAAP loss despite steady operating income .

Note: No Q3 2025 earnings call transcript was available in our document catalog during the review window (Nov 20, 2025), so commentary reflects management’s supplemental/press releases for Q1–Q3.
Management Commentary
- “Earlier this year, we acquired 1322 North in Auburn, Alabama, and with the purchase of Oaks at Victory, we are taking another strong step in implementing our strategy of investing in properties in the Southeast… Our goal is to create stockholder value by finding opportunities… that will drive AFFO and NAV per share growth and seamlessly integrate with our existing portfolio.” — Jeffrey A. Gould, President & CEO .
- “Maintained revolving credit facility of up to $40.0 million… $17.5 million outstanding as of October 31, 2025… The Company expects all outstanding debt on its credit facility to be paid off by the end of 2025.” — Q3 supplemental highlights .
- Full year 2025 outlook focus (Q1): “The operational environment… is expected to be consistent with other Sunbelt-focused operators with new supply muting new and renewal lease rent growth until 2026… BRT intends to emphasize stable average occupancy… insurance expense is expected to decline.” .
Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context

- S&P Global consensus: EPS $(0.15)* vs actual $(0.14); revenue $23.95M vs actual $24.36M*; both beats were incremental.*

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Cash-flow resilience: AFFO/diluted share held at $0.36 in Q3, aligning with a maintained $0.25 dividend per share; coverage appears intact if operations remain stable .
- Operating stability with slight improvement: Combined occupancy ticked up to 94.7% and weighted average rent per occupied unit rose modestly; same-store combined NOI declined YoY but improved sequentially vs Q2 .
- Sunbelt growth strategy: Two JV acquisitions (Auburn, AL; Savannah, GA) add scale in target markets; management explicitly targeting AFFO and NAV per share growth via such deals .
- Balance sheet progress: Parkway Grande refinancing extended term with 5 years interest-only; company expects credit facility paydown by YE 2025, reducing floating-rate exposure .
- Watch Texas performance: Consolidated Texas NOI was weaker YoY, tied to lower rents/occupancy; improvements here could materially aid same-store trends .
- Limited estimate coverage and modest beats suggest muted immediate reaction; catalysts include execution on credit facility paydown and realization of value-add returns to drive 2026 rent growth normalization .
- Governance/people: CFO transition announced with Isaac Kalish set to assume role in early 2026; continuity and experience may aid execution .
