Summary
AMB Property Corporation (AMB) reported its second-quarter 2003 financial results, showing a net income of $18.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $28.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the prior year's second quarter. While total revenues increased to $154.7 million from $147.2 million, the company saw a decrease in income from continuing operations before gains on dispositions, which fell to $12.9 million from $21.1 million year-over-year. This decline was partly offset by significant gains from the disposition of real estate, particularly from discontinued operations. The company continued its portfolio repositioning strategy, divesting non-core assets and investing in industrial properties in supply-constrained markets. Total assets stood at $4.98 billion, with total debt at $2.04 billion. The company maintained a healthy occupancy rate of 91.5% for its industrial properties and is focused on growth through operations, acquisitions, development, and international expansion.
