DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Oct. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE American: CTO) (the “Company”) today announced its operating results and earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Land Holdings

As announced earlier today, the Company closed on the sale of a controlling interest in a wholly-owned entity that holds the Company’s remaining land portfolio of approximately 5,300 acres (the “Land Venture”), including the land parcels the Company currently has under contract, to certain funds managed by Magnetar Capital (“Magnetar”) for total proceeds to the Company of approximately $97.0 million (the “Land Transaction”). The Company may, in the future, receive additional proceeds from the Land Venture in the form of distributions under certain circumstances, based upon the timing and amount realized when the land is ultimately sold by the Land Venture. There can be no assurance as to the likelihood or receiving such distributions, or the amount or timing thereof.

As a result of the Land Venture the Company has not provided an update of the land transaction pipeline in this earnings release.

Income Property Portfolio

In four separate transactions, acquired 4 single-tenant net lease retail properties for a total investment of approximately $49.5 million, reflecting a weighted average investment cap rate of approximately 6.32%. The four properties had a weighted average lease term of approximately 36.7 years.

Sold a 1.56-acre outparcel subject to a ground lease with Wawa, located in Winter Park, Florida, for a sales price of approximately $2.8 million for a gain of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.33 per share, after tax.
