During the first nine months of fiscal 2023, “Net Other (Loss) Income” included $4.6 million in non-cash gains recognized due to the remeasurement of our previously-held interest in 24th Street Asset Management, which was almost completely offset by our proportionate share of Sky Harbour’s operating losses which we account for under the equity method.
During the first six months of fiscal 2022, “Net Other (Loss) Income” included a gain of $25.0 million related to the deconsolidation of Yellowstone Acquisition Company on January 25, 2022 and $1.8 million related to the remeasurement of Yellowstone’s public warrants from January 1, 2022 to January 25, 2022, which was partially offset by $14.8 million in other investment losses mainly related to public securities held by Boston Omaha and UCS.
As a reminder, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require us to include the unrealized changes in market prices of investments in public securities in our reported earnings(4). While we intend to hold securities for the longer term, we may in the future choose to sell them for a variety of reasons resulting in realized losses or gains.
Cash inflow from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $12.2 million, compared to a cash outflow of ($9.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
