Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (SQFT)·Q2 2024 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 2024 printed a GAAP net loss of $12.4M (−$1.00 EPS) on revenue of $4.59M; the loss was driven by a $10.0M mark‑to‑market hit on Conduit Pharmaceuticals securities, partially offset by $0.8M gains on model home sales .
- Operations showed resilient leasing despite macro headwinds: 10 new leases and 78% renewal of expiring square footage in H1, with portfolio occupancy at 82.6% vs 80.9% in Q1 .
- Non‑GAAP FFO and Core FFO deteriorated year over year (FFO to −$1.26M; Core FFO to −$0.44M) with higher G&A tied to proxy/settlement costs and legal fees related to Zuma Capital .
- No explicit revenue/EPS guidance; management expects continued gains on model home sales into Q3, while Series D preferred dividends held steady at $0.19531 per month; Series A common paid no dividend in Q2 .
- No Q2 2024 earnings call transcript was available across our document set or third‑party archives, limiting call‑based narrative; stock‑moving catalysts remain the sizable Conduit fair‑value loss and visibility on model home dispositions .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong

- Occupancy uptick: consolidated commercial/retail occupancy reached 82.6% at quarter‑end, up from 80.9% in Q1 .

- “Despite challenges with affordability and higher interest rates, we have had a brisk quarter of sales activity… We continue to analyze acquisition opportunities…” — Steve Hightower, President, Model Homes Division .
- Q1 setup: “With currently scheduled lease expirations during 2024 at a level nearly one‑half of that during 2023… good reason to anticipate… more stable rent roll…” — Gary Katz, CIO .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Core operations stable: leasing retention at 78% and occupancy improved to 82.6%, supporting base rent durability despite rate headwinds .
- Non‑operating volatility is the swing factor: ~$10.0M Conduit fair‑value loss dominated GAAP; investors should discount GAAP noise and track FFO/Core FFO trend, which still weakened YoY .
- Model home portfolio rotation continues: gains on sales persisted in Q2 and are expected into Q3; watch acquisition pace and sales mix for cash generation .
- Balance sheet: total assets fell to $150.5M from $163.5M in Q1 and $176.0M at YE, with mortgage notes at ~$101.1M; Dakota Center loan outcome is a near‑term risk item .
- Dividend profile: Series D preferred remains consistent ($0.19531/month), while common dividends are suspended; income investors stay in preferred, equity holders should focus on FFO recovery .
- Catalysts: resolution on Dakota Center debt path, continued occupancy gains, and realized gains on model home dispositions can improve sentiment; conversely, further Conduit marks could pressure reported GAAP .
