BETHESDA, Md., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Saul Centers, Inc. (NYSE: BFS), an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 ("2024 Quarter"). Total revenue for the 2024 Quarter increased to $66.7 million from $63.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 ("2023 Quarter"). Net income increased to $18.3 million for the 2024 Quarter from $17.7 million for the 2023 Quarter primarily due to (a) higher commercial base rent of $1.4 million and (b) higher residential base rent of $0.3 million, partially offset by (c) higher interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs of $0.6 million and (d) higher general and administrative costs of $0.5 million. Net income available to common stockholders increased to $10.8 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, for the 2024 Quarter from $10.7 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, for the 2023 Quarter.
Same property revenue increased $3.6 million, or 5.8%, and same property operating income increased $1.8 million, or 3.8%, for the 2024 Quarter compared to the 2023 Quarter. The $3.6 million increase in same property revenue for the 2024 Quarter compared to the 2023 Quarter was primarily due to (a) higher commercial base rent of $1.4 million, (b) higher expense recoveries of $1.7 million and (c) higher residential base rent of $0.3 million. Shopping Center same property operating income for the 2024 Quarter totaled $36.0 million, a $1.0 million increase from the 2023 Quarter. Shopping Center same property operating income increased primarily due to higher base rent of $1.0 million. Mixed-Use same property operating income totaled $12.6 million, a $0.8 million increase from the 2023 Quarter. Mixed-Use same property operating income increased primarily due to (a) higher commercial base rent of $0.4 million and (b) residential base rent of $0.3 million. No properties were excluded from same property results. Reconciliations of (a) total revenue to same property revenue and (b) net income to same property operating income are attached to this press release.
Same property revenue and same property operating income are non-GAAP financial measures of performance and improve the comparability of these measures by excluding the results of properties that were not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods. We define same property revenue as total revenue minus the revenue of properties not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods. We define same property operating income as net income plus (a) interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs, (b) depreciation and amortization of deferred leasing costs, (c) general and administrative expenses, (d) change in fair value of derivatives, and (e) loss on early extinguishment of debt minus (f) gains on sale of property and (g) the results of properties not in operation for the entirety of the comparable periods.
Funds from operations ("FFO") available to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests (after deducting preferred stock dividends) increased to $27.5 million, or $0.80 per basic and diluted share, in the 2024 Quarter compared to $26.9 million, or $0.81 and $0.79 per basic and diluted share, respectively, in the 2023 Quarter. FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental earnings measure that the Company considers meaningful in measuring its operating performance. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is attached to this press release. The increase in FFO available to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests was primarily the result of (a) higher commercial base rent of $1.4 million and (b) higher residential base rent of $0.3 million, partially offset by (c) higher interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs of $0.6 million and (d) higher general and administrative costs of $0.5 million.
As of March 31, 2024, 94.6% of the commercial portfolio was leased, compared to 93.9% as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the residential portfolio was 98.7% leased compared to 98.2% as of March 31, 2023.
