American Strategic Investment Reports Q2 2025 Results, Focuses on Portfolio Repositioning
American Strategic Investment has reported its Q2 2025 financial results, showcasing a shift in focus towards portfolio repositioning. The company's revenue for Q2 2025 was $12.2 million, a decrease from $15.8 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to the sale of 9 Times Square in the prior year [1].
The net loss narrowed significantly to $41.7 million compared to a $91.9 million loss in Q2 2024. Adjusted EBITDA fell sharply to $0.4 million from $4.5 million, and cash net operating income (NOI) declined to $4.2 million [1]. However, the portfolio occupancy remained steady at 82%, with a weighted-average lease term extending to 6 years, up from 5.4 years the prior quarter, thanks to two long-term lease extensions [1][2][3][4].
Strategic Asset Sales and Lease Renewals
American Strategic is focusing on strategic asset sales of Manhattan properties, such as 123 William Street and 196 Orchard, to reduce leverage, retire debt, and reposition its portfolio towards higher-yielding assets with 5–7% cash-on-cash returns [1][5]. The company is emphasizing lease renewals and longer lease terms, with 54% of leases now extending beyond 2030, and only 7% of annualized rent subject to near-term lease expirations, aiming to stabilize cash flow [1][2][3][4][5].
Near-term lease expirations were reduced to 7% of annualized straight-line rent as of fiscal Q2 2025 [1][2]. Adjusted EBITDA was $400,000 in fiscal Q2 2025, down from $4.5 million in fiscal Q2 2024 [1]. The company is continuing to market 123 William Street and 196 Orchard for sale, with plans to use the net proceeds for debt retirement and higher-yield reinvestment [1][5].
Challenges and Opportunities
Foreclosure was initiated on 1140 Avenue of the Americas, indicating challenges with that specific property [1][2][3][4][5]. However, 77% of the top 10 tenants are investment grade or implied investment grade [1][2][3][4]. Chief Executive Officer Schorsch, Jr. stated that the repositioning strategy is aimed at maximizing shareholder returns, and regular updates will be provided on progress [1].
Portfolio Overview
As of fiscal Q2 2025, American Strategic Investment's portfolio consists of six office and retail properties in Manhattan, totaling approximately 1 million square feet and valued at $440 million [1]. The conference call transcript includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties [1].
