UMH Properties reported an increase in total income and normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The company experienced a net loss due to a change in the fair value of marketable securities and a preferred share redemption charge. The FFO growth was driven by solid fundamental performance in the core business and same property NOI growth.
Total income increased by 16% to $43.1 million compared to the same quarter last year.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $12.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, due to changes in the fair value of marketable securities and a preferred share redemption charge.

UMH continues to make strides in all aspects of our business plan. We are pleased that we covered our $0.18 dividend purely on our current operations. The successes that we have had on the financing front will further improve our FFO metrics in 2021.
