  Content	February 14, 2025 at 16:01 PM EST Clipper Realty Inc. (NYSE: CLPR) (the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of multifamily residential and commercial properties in the New York metropolitan area, today announced financial and operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 Record quarterly revenues of $38.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 Quarterly income from operations of $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 Record net operating income (“NOI”) of $22.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 Quarterly net loss of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 Record adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) of $8.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 Declared a dividend of $0.095 per share for the fourth quarter of 2024 David Bistricer, Co-Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The Company continued to grow its revenue, NOI and AFFO in the fourth quarter of 2024, producing record results for all these metrics on the basis of our very strong residential leasing. We continue to have high occupancy and good renter demand in our buildings. For all our properties, new leases exceeded previous rents by nearly 10% and renewals by nearly 6%. At Flatbush Gardens, as a result of the Article 11 agreement with New York City, we are continuing to increase enhanced rental recoveries under Section 610 as we continue to make the committed capital improvements and other improvements in the property. At our 250 Livingston Street property, where we previously disclosed New York City's notification of its intention to vacate in late August 2025, we continue to actively seek solutions and pursue opportunities. At our nearby 141 Livingston Street property, we are in active discussions for a lease renewal. Our Dean Street new development continues to progress ahead of schedule, and we are confident of an on-time completion early this year to capture the 2025 leasing season. Lastly, we continue to consider recycling properties in our portfolio to maximize performance and improve cash flow. As such, we are continuing marketing activities for some of our properties, including our 10W 65 th Street property, which, while potentially resulting in some loss compared to book value, would allow us to achieve better overall returns going forward. We will announce any definitive arrangements promptly as they arise.” Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 For the fourth quarter of 2024, revenues increased by $3.2 million, or 9.1%, to $38.0 million as compared to revenue of $34.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Residential revenue increased by $2.9 million, or 11.6%, driven by higher rental rates and occupancy at all our residential properties partially offset increased bad debt expense at the Flatbush Gardens property. Commercial income increased by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to higher escalation income at our 250 Livingston office property. For the fourth quarter of 2024, net loss was $1.1 million, or $0.05 per share compared to net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.09 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. The lower net loss as compared to last year was primarily due to increased rental revenue discussed above, partially offset by higher property taxes at properties other than Flatbush Gardens and, at Flatbush Gardens, higher payroll costs from “prevailing wage” requirements under the Article 11 transaction, an increase in repairs and maintenance workers, and higher depreciation expense from capital spending. For the fourth quarter of 2024, AFFO was $8.1 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.15 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. As discussed above, the increase was primarily due to increased rental revenue partially offset by higher property taxes and higher payroll costs. NOI and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. For a definition of these financial measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” at the end of this release. Balance Sheet At December 31, 2024, notes payable (excluding unamortized loan costs) was $1,275.4 million, compared to $1,219.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to draws made on Dean Street development construction loan. Dividend The Company today declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.095 per share, the same amount as last quarter, to shareholders of record on March 19, 2025, payable April 3, 2025.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) Non-GAAP Financial Measures We disclose and discuss funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and net operating income (“NOI”), all of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. While management and the investment community in general believe that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors, neither FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, nor NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income from operations as an indication of our performance. We believe that to understand our performance further, FFO, AFFO, Adjusted EBITDA, and NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss) or income from operations and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment adjustments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT. AFFO is defined by us as FFO excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles incurred in property acquisitions, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization costs incurred in originating debt, interest rate cap mark-to-market adjustments, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, gain on termination of lease and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less recurring capital spending. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider AFFO useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent net income or cash flows from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income (loss) as reliable measures of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity. Neither FFO nor AFFO measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including loan principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Further, FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and AFFO. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, FFO Net loss Real estate depreciation and amortization FFO AFFO FFO Amortization of real estate tax intangible Amortization of above- and below-market leases Straight-line rent adjustments Amortization of debt origination costs Amortization of LTIP awards Transaction pursuit costs Loss on extinguishment of debt Litigation settlement and other Certain litigation-related expenses Recurring capital spending AFFO AFFO Per Share/Unit Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before allocation to non-controlling interests, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of identifiable intangibles, straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, amortization of non-cash equity compensation, interest expense (net), acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, loss on modification/extinguishment of debt and non-recurring litigation-related expenses, less gain on involuntary conversion and gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of our core operating performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA, and accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented to net loss, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, Adjusted EBITDA Net loss Real estate depreciation and amortization Amortization of real estate tax intangible Amortization of above- and below-market leases Straight-line rent adjustments Amortization of LTIP awards Interest expense, net Transaction pursuit costs Loss on extinguishment of debt Litigation settlement and other Certain litigation-related expenses Adjusted EBITDA Net Operating Income We believe that NOI is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as income from operations plus real estate depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition and other costs, transaction pursuit costs, amortization of identifiable intangibles and straight-line rent adjustments to revenue from long-term leases, less gain on termination of lease. We believe that this measure is widely recognized and provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). We use NOI to evaluate our performance because NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our company by measuring the core operations of property performance and capturing trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. NOI is also a widely used metric in valuation of properties. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. Further, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of NOI for the periods presented to income from operations, computed in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands): Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, NOI Income from operations Real estate depreciation and amortization General and administrative expenses Amortization of real estate tax intangible Amortization of above- and below-market leases Litigation settlement and other Straight-line rent adjustments NOI View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250214006369/en/ Contacts Lawrence Kreider Chief Financial Officer (718) 438-2804 x2231 larry@clipperrealty.com
