Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results
DALLAS (November 13, 2014) — Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. (NYSE: TCI), a Dallas-based real estate investment company, today reported results of operations for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. ICI announced today that the Company reported a net loss applicable to common shares of $2.6 million or $0.29 per diluted earnings per share, as compared to a net loss applicable to common shares of $6.2 million or $0.74 per diluted earnings per share for the same period ended 2013.
Management's efforts to enhance the value of our overall portfolio has resulted in the continuing improvement in the Company's results of operations. We continue to see growth in the multifamily market with increasing rents, stable operating expenses, and an occupancy rate over 93%. We are diligent in our mission to provide high-quality living opportunities to our tenants.
In our commercial portfolio, we are seeing the benefit of our efforts with new leases executed and increasing rents as first year concessions expire. We believe that we will continue to see growth in our commercial portfolio as the economic conditions improve and we capitalize on the influx of attractive prospects in the pipeline.
Our ability to take advantage of lower-interest rate mortgages available has reduced our monthly obligations and increased cash flow within our multifamily portfolio.
The positive results of operations has allowed the Company to invest in mortgage receivables in various multifamily projects not under the Company's ownership. We will continue to invest in the multifamily market, as conditions are optimal for achieving a high return on our investment.
Rental and other property revenues were slightly lower for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was mainly attributable to our commercial portfolio which was lower in the current period related to some prior year larger square-foot tenants down-sizing or moving out and first year lease specials for new tenants. Rental revenue from our apartment portfolio increased in the current period as we continue to excel with high occupancy rates and increasing rental rates.
Property operating expenses were $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of $0.6 million as compared to the same period in the previous year. Operating expenses have remained consistent with prior periods due to labor efficiencies and improvements in preventative maintenance across the portfolio, with only an increase in real estate taxes as a result of the increase in the value of our portfolio and some non-recurring repair projects completed in the current period.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in prior year. The majority of this decrease was in the land portfolio which was mainly due to a reduction in legal fees.
Interest income was $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, representing an increase of $1.0 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. During the current quarter, we invested $17.3 million in mortgage receivables which would increase the basis for our interest income.
