One Liberty Properties reported fiscal year 2025 results showing revenue growth and solid profitability. Total revenues increased to $97.2 million from $90.6 million in 2024, representing 7.4% year-over-year growth. This growth was primarily driven by rental income, net, which increased 7.6% to $97.2 million. The company achieved operating income of $47.9 million, supported by $18.7 million in gains from real estate sales. Net income attributable to One Liberty Properties was $25.5 million, with basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.00. The company maintained a dividend of $2.00 per share, demonstrating its commitment to shareholder returns while executing its strategic transformation toward industrial properties.
Revenue growth was driven by multiple factors. Acquisitions contributed $12.5 million in rental income from properties acquired since January 1, 2024, representing a significant 626.5% increase over the prior year's acquisition contribution. Same-store properties showed modest growth of 1.2%, adding $0.9 million in rental income through lease amendments, extensions, and new tenants. This was partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease from leases that expired in 2024 and 2025. The company's strategic shift is evident in its property mix, with industrial properties now representing 80.9% of 2026 base rent, retail at 14.6%, and other properties at 4.5%. Geographic concentration shows South Carolina (12.8%) and Pennsylvania (10.8%) as the largest state exposures.
Operating expenses increased 15.9% to $68.0 million, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization ($27.2 million, up 12.0%), real estate expenses ($19.9 million, up 11.0%), and impairment losses ($4.6 million, up 322.9%). The impairment losses were recorded at St. Louis Park, Minnesota and Beachwood, Ohio properties. General and administrative expenses increased 5.7% to $16.3 million, driven by higher compensation expenses and non-cash stock compensation adjustments. Despite these increases, the company maintained strong operating income of $47.9 million. Interest expense increased 17.1% to $22.8 million due to higher weighted average principal amounts and interest rates on mortgage debt.
The company generated $37.5 million in operating cash flow, a key metric for REIT investors. Investing activities used $122.9 million primarily for property acquisitions ($190.5 million) and improvements ($4.4 million), partially offset by proceeds from property sales ($69.0 million). Financing activities provided $55.0 million through mortgage financings ($132.7 million) and other activities, while returning capital through $39.0 million in distributions to common stockholders. The balance sheet shows total assets of $857.6 million, with real estate investments, net of $777.6 million. Total liabilities were $557.8 million, primarily mortgages payable of $517.3 million, resulting in total equity of $299.8 million. The company maintained $14.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Management continues to execute its strategy of transitioning to an industrial-focused REIT. The company acquired 13 industrial properties for $188.8 million in 2025 and completed a significant $56.7 million portfolio acquisition in January 2026 comprising ten industrial properties. Pending transactions include the sale of two retail properties expected to generate approximately $3.8 million in gains. Management anticipates recognizing approximately $1.3 million in lease termination fees in Q1 2026. Key risks include tenant concentration (FedEx represents 5% of 2026 base rent), lease expirations (37.4% of 2026 base rent expires through 2028), and interest rate exposure on floating rate debt. The company maintains a credit facility with $70.0 million available as of February 27, 2026, providing liquidity for continued strategic execution.
