UMH Properties, Inc. operates as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) focused on the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities. As of the reporting date, the Company operated a portfolio of 145 communities across 12 states, containing approximately 27,100 developed homesites.

Key Financial Metrics

Note: Total Debt calculated as Mortgages Payable ($545.4M) + Loans Payable ($65.8M) as of June 30, 2026.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Rental and related income increased 9% year-over-year for both the three and six-month periods, driven by a 110 basis point increase in same-property occupancy (to 89.4%) and rental rate increases of 5.3%.
• Profitability: Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders increased 74% for the quarter ($4.4M vs. $2.5M) and 209% for the six-month period ($7.0M vs. $2.3M). This surge was primarily driven by a net gain of $5.9 million on the securities portfolio (a $42.3M increase in fair value offset by a $36.4M loss on sales).
• Expenses: Interest expense increased 31% (quarter) and 41% (six months) due to higher debt balances and rates. Depreciation expense rose 16% (quarter) due to new acquisitions and rental home additions.
• Balance Sheet: Loans payable increased 137% year-over-year, largely due to a $40 million drawdown on the unsecured line of credit. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $72.1 million at year-end 2025 to $28.6 million.

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks

• Capital Markets: The Company expanded its unsecured revolving credit facility to $260 million (with a $340 million accordion feature) and extended the maturity to May 2030. Interest rates were reduced by 35-40 basis points. The Company also raised $8.6 million net proceeds from the sale of Series D Preferred Stock under its ATM program.
• Operational Strategy: Management continues to focus on adding rental homes to vacant sites to drive occupancy and revenue. Rental home occupancy reached 95.3% as of June 30, 2026. The Company is developing approximately 1,044 expansion sites, including a greenfield project in Coxsackie, NY.
• Joint Ventures: An amendment to the 2021 Nuveen joint venture agreement allows UMH to fund additional acquisitions unilaterally (up to a 40% dilution limit for Nuveen). Nuveen retains the right to require UMH to purchase its interest for cash after December 31, 2027.
• Risks: Key risks include the ability to refinance debt, compliance with debt covenants (specifically regarding the Series A and B Bonds issued to Israeli investors), and potential disputes or deadlocks in joint venture decision-making.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Securities Volatility: Verify the sustainability of the $5.9 million net gain on marketable securities, which significantly boosted net income but is a non-cash, non-operating item.
• Debt Covenants: Review compliance with financial covenants for the Series A and Series B Bonds, particularly regarding debt-to-NOI ratios and dividend restrictions upon non-compliance.
• Liquidity Position: Assess the impact of the $40 million drawdown on the credit facility and the reduction in cash reserves from $72.1M to $28.6M on future capital deployment.
• Joint Venture Obligations: Confirm the terms of the Nuveen buyout right exercisable after December 31, 2027, and the potential cash requirement of approximately $41.7 million.
• Occupancy Trends: Monitor the 95.3% rental home occupancy rate to ensure it remains sustainable as new expansion sites come online.
