Q2 Net Loss of $1.0M
The net loss attributable to TCI reached $1.1M ($0.13/share), compared with net income of $0.2M ($0.02/share) in Q2 2025, driven by lower multifamily NOI and higher interest expense.
-
Multifamily NOI Down 29%
Multifamily segment NOI fell to $2.8M from $4.0M, as three newly completed properties—Alera, Bandera Ridge, and Merano—remain in lease-up and same-property occupancy faced competitive pressure.
-
Interest Expense Surges
Interest expense rose to $2.8M from $1.7M, reflecting debt on development properties placed in service in late 2025; net interest income dropped to $0.4M from $2.2M.

Analysis · TCI · Real Estate & Construction
A net loss of $1.0 million in Q2 2026 reversed last year's small profit, as newly constructed properties in lease-up eroded multifamily net operating income and interest expense jumped on development debt. For the first half, the $0.7 million loss compares with a $5.1 million profit in 2025, when a large land condemnation gain lifted results. The balance sheet carries ample liquidity—$10.7 million in cash, $73.4 million in short-term investments, and a $175.9 million related-party receivable—but management acknowledges that asset sales or refinancings may be needed to meet obligations. A subsequent share issuance to acquire more of subsidiary IOR adds modest dilution while consolidating control. The results underscore the near-term earnings drag from the lease-up of three large multifamily projects, with stabilization expected later in 2026.
