What is the leverage profile (Debt/EBITDA, loan maturities) following the Q2 results and any refinancing risks?
Answer
The press release you quoted provides a solid snapshot of UMâŻHâŻProperties, Inc.âs (UMH) operating performance for the quarter endedâŻJuneâŻ30âŻ2025âtotal income, net income, and Normalized FundsâfromâOperations (FFO).âŻHowever, it does not include any of the financialâleverage details that are needed to answer a question about the companyâs leverage profile (e.g., Debtâ/âEBITDA ratio, loan maturity schedule, or refinancing risk).
Below is a clear explanation of what is missing, why those metrics matter, and where you can obtain the necessary data to construct a complete answer.
1. Whatâs Missing in the Press Release
Metric | Required Information | Status in the Release |
---|---|---|
Total Debt (senior, mezzanine, revolving credit, etc.) | Balanceâsheet figures for the most recent quarter and the prior year | Not disclosed |
EBITDA (or EBITDAâadjusted for REITs) | Operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation & amortisation (or the REITâspecific âAdjusted EBITDAâ used in their investor presentations) | Not disclosed â only Total Income and Normalized FFO are shown |
Debtâ/âEBITDA Ratio | Debt Ă· EBITDA (or Debt Ă· Normalized FFO, depending on the metric the company reports) | Cannot be calculated without the two inputs above |
Loan Maturity Profile | Schedule of principal repayments and interestâonly periods (e.g., â$X million due in 2026, $Y million due in 2027, etc.â) | Not disclosed |
Refinancing Risk Indicators | Information on upcoming maturities, covenantâreset dates, or any ârefinancing gapâ analysis | Not disclosed |
Because none of these figures appear in the news item, we cannot compute the leverage ratios or assess the maturity structure directly from the provided information.
2. Why These Metrics Are Important for UMâŻHâŻProperties
- Debtâ/âEBITDA (or Debtâ/âFFO): REITs typically target a leverage range that balances growth (through acquisitions and development) with the need to maintain a creditâworthy balance sheet. A higher ratio can signal greater financial risk, especially if cashâflow generation is volatile.
- Loan Maturity Schedule: A concentrated set of maturities in the near term can create a ârefinancing cliff,â where the company must refinance a large portion of its debt under potentially tighter market conditions (higher rates, reduced lender appetite).
- Refinancing Risk: Understanding the proportion of debt that is amortizing versus interestâonly, the availability of covenant waivers, and the companyâs credit rating helps gauge the likelihood of covenant breaches or the need to secure new financing at less favorable terms.
3. Where to Find the Required Data
FormâŻ10âQ (Quarterly Report) for the period ending JuneâŻ30âŻ2025
- The 10âQ includes a Balance Sheet (total debt) and a Statement of Cash Flows (interest expense).
- The MD&A section often provides a Debtâ/âEBITDA ratio and a Maturity Schedule table.
- The 10âQ includes a Balance Sheet (total debt) and a Statement of Cash Flows (interest expense).
FormâŻ10âK (Annual Report) for FYâŻ2024
- The 10âK contains a fiveâyear debt maturity table and a discussion of refinancing risk that is usually updated each year.
Investor Presentation / Earnings Call Materials (often posted on the companyâs Investor Relations website)
- REITs frequently present a âLeverage Profileâ slide that shows Debtâ/âFFO, weightedâaverage maturity, and any upcoming refinancing needs.
Credit Rating Agency Reports (e.g., Moodyâs, S&P, Fitch)
- These reports often comment on the companyâs leverage and refinancing outlook.
SEC âExhibit 99.1â (Debt Schedule) if the company has filed a supplemental schedule with the 10âQ/10âK.
4. How to Build the Leverage Profile Once You Have the Data
Calculate Total Debt:
- Sum of senior term loans, mezzanine debt, revolving credit facilities, and any capitalâlease obligations classified as debt.
Derive EBITDA (or Normalized FFO):
- For REITs, many analysts use Normalized FundsâFromâOperations (FFO) as the cashâflow proxy.
- If the company reports Adjusted EBITDA, use that figure directly.
- For REITs, many analysts use Normalized FundsâFromâOperations (FFO) as the cashâflow proxy.
Compute Debtâ/âEBITDA (or Debtâ/âFFO):
Debtâ/âEBITDA = Total Debt Ă· EBITDA
Debtâ/âFFO = Total Debt Ă· Normalized FFO
(if the company prefers this metric).
Assess Maturity Structure:
- Create a bucketed schedule (e.g., 2025â2026, 2027â2028, 2029â2030, >2030).
- Identify any large ârefinancing gapsâ where >20â30% of debt matures within a 12âmonth window.
- Create a bucketed schedule (e.g., 2025â2026, 2027â2028, 2029â2030, >2030).
Identify Refinancing Risks:
- Compare the refinancing gap to the companyâs liquidity buffer (cash, credit line availability, and FFO generation).
- Review any covenantâreset dates that could trigger higher interest rates or stricter leverage caps.
- Factor in macroeconomic conditions (e.g., rising interest rates in 2025â2026) that could affect pricing.
- Compare the refinancing gap to the companyâs liquidity buffer (cash, credit line availability, and FFO generation).
5. Sample Framework (Illustrative Only)
Year | Total Debt (M) | Normalized FFO (M) | Debtâ/âFFO | Debt Maturing in 2025â26 | Debt Maturing in 2027â28 | Debt >2028 | Refinancing Gap | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2025 Q2 (actual) | [Data needed] | $19.5âŻM | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | â |
2024 Q2 (prior) | [Data needed] | $16.8âŻM | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | [Data needed] | â |
The numbers above are placeholders. Once the 10âQ is reviewed, you can replace them with the actual figures and compute the ratios.
6. Bottom Line
- From the press release alone, we cannot determine UMâŻHâŻPropertiesâ leverage profile or refinancing risk.
- To answer the question comprehensively, youâll need to retrieve the companyâs 10âQ filing for Q2âŻ2025 (or the latest investor presentation) where the balanceâsheet debt, EBITDA/FFO, and loanâmaturity schedule are disclosed.
- Once those documents are obtained, you can calculate the Debtâ/âEBITDA (or Debtâ/âFFO) ratio, map out the maturity timeline, and evaluate any potential refinancing gaps or covenantâreset concerns.
If you can provide the relevant sections of the 10âQ (or a link to the investor presentation), I would be happy to walk through the calculations and give you a precise leverage profile and risk assessment.
