Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO of UMH Properties, Inc., stated “UMH continues to execute on its business plan, which is resulting in increased sales, occupancy and overall operating results. As we deploy recently raised capital into new rental homes, expansions, community acquisitions and retail financing, we anticipate our earnings per share to rise accordingly. We have a long-term proven track record of delivering earnings growth and value for our shareholders. Over the past 5 years, we have increased our dividend by 25%.

“During the quarter, we converted 223 new homes from inventory to revenue generating rental homes. Our pace of rental home conversions has increased throughout the year and we believe we are on track to meet our goal of adding 700 to 800 new rental homes. Our rental home occupancy rate remains strong at 94.1% and our rent collections are in line with our historical averages.

“Sales continue to demonstrate growth with a 9% increase over last year, not including our joint venture at Honey Ridge, and a 12% increase, including Honey Ridge. We are on track to break our annual sales record of $33.5 million which was set last year. Our sales pipeline is currently approximately $3.6 million which positions us well for the 4^th quarter.

“We currently have approximately 130 homes on site and ready for occupancy and an additional 280 homes on site that are currently being installed. This inventory will allow us to continue our occupancy growth for the remainder of the year and into next year.

“We look forward to continued sales and occupancy growth throughout the year.”
