AXR’s Segment Details

AMREP derives revenues from three sources — Land sale revenues, Home sale revenues and Other revenues.

For the fiscal first quarter, which ended on July 31, 2024, Land sale revenues were $9.3 million, up 40.4% year over year. This primarily resulted from an increase in revenues from the sale of developed residential land and undeveloped land, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from the sale of commercial developed land.

The Home sale revenues totaled $8.9 million in the fiscal first quarter, up 164.3% year over year. The uptick was primarily the result of an increase in the number of homes sold. The change in average selling prices for the three months ended July 31, 2024, compared with the prior period was primarily due to the location, size and mix of homes sold.

As of July 31, 2024, AMREP had 64 homes in production, including 17 homes under contract, which homes under contract represented $7.9 million of expected home sale revenues when closed, subject to customer cancelations and change orders.
