Additionally, the company repurchased 612,464 shares of common stock for $5.0 million at an average price of $8.17 per share, demonstrating confidence in its valuation. A significant one-time gain of $13.8 million (attributable to common stockholders) from the sale of a multi-family property also boosted results.

Overall, the filing reinforces a positive outlook driven by strong operational execution and strategic portfolio repositioning, despite a volatile market backdrop.
