"We are very pleased to report another quarter of sound operational performance from our Sunbelt-focused portfolio of assets. We are seeing solid growth and positive trajectory in our top line revenues in our core multifamily business, which is supported by broad positive economic and migration trends. These operational successes have allowed us to continue to advance our strategic goals of simplifying our business platform to focus on our Class A suburban Sunbelt multifamily business, complimented by our 100% grocery anchored retail investments, and to continue realigning our balance sheet by reducing our preferred shares outstanding. Subsequent to quarter end, we signed an agreement for the sale of a substantial majority of our office portfolio, and upon closing, anticipated to be in the third quarter, we look forward to utilizing the net proceeds to redeem additional Series A preferred shares while also continuing to leverage our deep Sunbelt relationships to grow our investment in our core multifamily business. We expect these efforts to result in meaningful long-term stockholder value creation," stated Joel Murphy, Preferred Apartment Communities' President and Chief Executive Officer.

Our operating results are presented below.

  • Our total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 decreased 11.6% to approximately $115.7 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the sale on November 3, 2020 of our eight student housing properties, as well as from lower interest revenue from our portfolio of real estate loan investments. The student housing properties contributed approximately $12.4 million, or 9.5% of our total revenues and interest revenue from our real estate loan investments contributed approximately $15.0 million, or 11.5% of our total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Our net loss per share was $(0.73) and $(4.44) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $0.16 and $(3.42) per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in FFO per share was driven by:
    • a reduction in charges related to the closing of the Internalization Transaction (as defined below) in the first quarter 2020 of $3.79 per share;
    • cost savings from Internalization of $0.02 per share;
    • a lower allowance for current expected credit losses of $0.10 per share;
    • lower preferred stock dividends of $0.06 per share;
    • lower FFO from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 of ($0.07) per share;
    • lower amortization of purchase option termination fees of ($0.06) per share;
    • lower interest revenue from our smaller real estate loan portfolio of ($0.06) per share;
    • lower revenues from earnest money forfeitures of ($0.06) per share; and
    • deemed dividends from the call of preferred stock of ($0.03) per share.
  • Our Core FFO per share (B) decreased to $0.25 for the first quarter 2021 from $0.29 for the first quarter 2020, primarily due to:
    • a lower allowance for current expected credit losses of $0.10 per share;
    • lower preferred stock dividends of $0.06 per share;
    • cost savings from Internalization of $0.02 per share;
    • lower FFO from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 of ($0.07) per share;
    • lower interest revenue from our smaller real estate loan portfolio of ($0.06) per share;
    • lower amortization of purchase option termination fees of ($0.06) per share; and
    • higher equity compensation expense and absence of gain on land condemnation of ($0.02) per share.
  • Our AFFO per share decreased to $0.18 for the first quarter 2021 from $0.47 for the first quarter 2020, primarily due to the aforementioned decline in FFO from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020, net of savings from preferred dividends and expenses related to the call of the preferred, as well as the following:
    • a decrease in accrued interest collected of ($0.12) per share;
    • lower revenues from earnest money forfeitures of ($0.06) per share;
    • lower interest revenue from our smaller real estate loan portfolio of ($0.04) per share; and
    • higher recurring capital expenditures of ($0.04) per share.
  • Our Core FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 71.8% and our Core FFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 72.8% for the first quarter 2021. (A)
  • Our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 101.6% and our AFFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 79.1% for the first quarter 2021.
  • As of March 31, 2021, our total assets were approximately $4.2 billion, a decrease from our total assets of approximately $4.8 billion at March 31, 2020, that primarily resulted from the sale of our student housing portfolio during the fourth quarter 2020 for approximately $478.7 million.

 




(A) We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to Core FFO and AFFO. We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and Core FFO and AFFO. Since our operations resulted in a net loss from continuing operations for the periods presented, a payout ratio based on net loss is not calculable.  See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.




(B) Our Core FFO result for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 has been amended to reflect the movement of the adjustment for expense for current expected credit losses from an adjustment for Core FFO to an adjustment for AFFO.

Operational

  • Our multifamily communities' same-store rental and other property revenues increased 0.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020. Our multifamily communities' same-store net operating income decreased 1.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020, driven by a collective increase of 7% in real estate taxes and insurance costs. Our same-store multifamily communities include all our multifamily communities except Artisan at Viera, The Menlo, The Blake, Parkside at the Beach, and Horizon at Wiregrass, all of which were acquired in the last 20 months.
  • As of March 31, 2021, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.5 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.
  • As of March 31, 2021, all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for one fourth quarter 2020 acquisition. We define stabilization as reaching 93% for all three consecutive months within a single quarter.
  • The average physical occupancy for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 increased to 95.8% from 95.6% and 95.7% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
  • Our average recurring rental revenue collections before and after any effect of rent deferrals for the first quarter 2021 were approximately 99.1% and 99.2% for multifamily communities, 98.4% and 98.4% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 99.8% and 99.9% for office properties, respectively. Rent deferments provided to our residents and tenants are limited and are primarily related to a change of timing of rent payments with no significant changes to total payments or term.
  • We granted an additional $28,000 of deferred rent during the first quarter 2021, raising the total deferred rent granted to approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 2.0% cumulatively over the last four quarters. Including this deferred rent, our average recurring rental revenue collections were 98.4%, 98.4%, 97.8% and 96.9% for first quarter 2021, fourth quarter 2020, third quarter 2020 and second quarter 2020, respectively. In addition to the deferrals, we granted approximately $676,000 of Covid-related rental abatements to retail tenants only, or approximately 0.7% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the last four quarters. These rental abatements were generally accompanied by an increase in the tenant's lease term or the lease terms were amended to be more favorable to us. We reserved $99,000, or 0.4% of total retail revenue (inclusive of straight-line rent adjustments) in the first quarter 2021, that is 0.1% of our consolidated rental and other property revenues. Our retail portfolio's total rent reserves over the last four quarters were approximately $2.3 million, or approximately 2.4% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the same period.

Financing and Capital Markets

  • As of March 31, 2021, approximately 97.4% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 0.8% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates. Our overall weighted average interest rate for our mortgage debt portfolio was 3.5% for multifamily communities, 4.1% for office properties, 3.9% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.8% in the aggregate.
  • At March 31, 2021, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 55.9%.
  • At March 31, 2021, we had $160.0 million available to be drawn on our revolving line of credit and approximately $32.3 million of cash.
  • During the first quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,898 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 44,220 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net redemption of 6,322 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net redemption cost of $9.5 million.

Significant Transactions

  • During the first quarter 2021, we received the full principal amounts totaling approximately $17.9 million from the repayment of two real estate loan investments, plus a purchase option termination fee of approximately $1.5 million and $4.3 million of accrued interest from these loan payoffs. These transactions collectively returned approximately $23.7 million of capital to us for investment, preferred redemptions, or other corporate purposes during the first quarter.
  • During the first quarter 2021, we originated one real estate investment loan with a total commitment of $16.8 million, in support of a 320-unit multifamily community in Orlando, Florida. We also originated a land acquisition bridge loan of approximately $7.7 million in support of a proposed multifamily community to be located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

Subsequent to Quarter End

  • On April 16, 2021, we entered into a series of transactions with Highwoods Properties in order to dispose of seven of our office properties and one office real estate loan investment for an aggregate purchase price of $717.5 million, including the assumption of debt.
  • On May 4, 2021, we amended our revolving line of credit agreement to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2024 and, among other things, modified certain covenants, reduced certain rates and fees and prepared for LIBOR transitioning.
  • On May 6, 2021, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.175 per share, payable on July 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on June 15, 2021.

2021 Guidance:  

Net income (loss) per shareWe are continuing to add properties and real estate loan investments to our real estate portfolio and the specific timing of the closing of acquisitions is difficult to predict. Acquisition activity by its nature can cause material variation in our reported depreciation and amortization expense and interest income. Since net income (loss) per share is calculated net of depreciation and amortization expense, our net income (loss) results can fluctuate, possibly significantly, depending upon the timing of the closing of acquisitions. For this reason, we are unable to reasonably forecast this measure or provide a reconciliation of our projected FFO per share to this measure.

Core FFO - Our initial guidance for 2021 did not contemplate a transaction like the office portfolio sale we have previously announced. A transaction of this magnitude will have a material effect on earnings and the impact will be felt throughout our financials. In an effort to clarify some of these impacts, we offer the following revised guidance. We expect Core FFO per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit to be in the range of $0.73 to $0.83 for the full year.

Underpinning this guidance are the following assumptions

  • Multifamily Same-Store NOI growth of 2.0% to 3.0%, an increase in the lower end of the range from initial guidance
  • New real estate loan investment originations of $50-$100 million
  • Closing date of the office transaction of August 1, 2021
  • Multifamily acquisition volume of between $300 million and $400 million

This guidance also includes the impact of purchase option terminations revenues and the reversal of expected credit loss reserves related to increased loan payoffs, which should materially offset the dilution of the office portfolio sale in the short term.  These one time items represent a declining number of purchase option termination revenue opportunities. We do not believe that the level of purchase option termination revenue will be replicable going forward. We believe the dilution from the office transaction will be more fully felt in 2022.

AFFO, Core FFO and FFO are calculated after deductions for all preferred stock dividends. Reconciliations of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 appear in the attached report, as well as on our website using the following link:

Same-Store Financial Data

The following charts present same-store operating results for the Company's multifamily communities. We define our population of same-store multifamily communities as those that have achieved occupancy at or above 93% for all three consecutive months within a single quarter ("stabilized") before the beginning of the prior year and that have been owned for at least 15 full months as of the end of the first quarter of the current year, enabling comparisons of the current year quarterly and annual reporting periods to the prior year comparative periods. The Company excludes the operating results of properties for which construction of adjacent phases has commenced and properties which are undergoing significant capital projects, have sustained significant casualty losses, or are being marketed for sale as of the end of the reporting period.

For the periods presented, same-store operating results consist of the operating results of the multifamily communities listed below, comprising an aggregate 9,591 units, or 86.1% of our multifamily units.

Same-store net operating income is a non-GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss), as shown in the reconciliation below. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.

While the impacts of COVID-19 are continuing, the effects on our operations have been manageable and we believe this condition will persist, barring a dramatic change in the trajectory of the pandemic.

(A) Our Core FFO result for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 has been amended to reflect the movement of the adjustment for expense for current expected credit losses from an adjustment for Core FFO to an adjustment for AFFO.


See Notes to Reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders.

 

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, Core FFO and AFFO to

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders





1)

Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 include activity for the properties acquired since March 31, 2020. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.





2)

Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 548,369 Class A Units as of March 31, 2021. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 1.20% and 1.72% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.





3)

We paid loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, (our "Former Manager") to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization Transaction. The fees were calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO and AFFO. At March 31, 2021, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $11.3 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.3 years.





4)

This adjustment reflects the add-back of (i) consideration paid to the owners of the Former Manager and NMP Advisors, LLC (our "Former Sub-Manager"), (ii) accretion of the discount on the deferred liability payable to the owners of the Former Manager and (iii) due diligence and pursuit costs incurred by the Company related to the internalization of the functions performed by the Former Manager (the "Internalization Transaction").





5)

This additive adjustment to FFO consists of non-recurring costs for signage, cleaning and supplies necessary to create and maintain work environments necessary to adhere to CDC guidelines during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Since we do not expect to incur similar costs once the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we add these costs back to FFO in our calculation of Core FFO.





6)

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-03, which requires us to estimate the amount of future credit losses we expect to incur over the lives of our real estate loan investments at the inception of each loan. This loss reserve may be adjusted upward or downward over the lives of our loans and therefore the aggregate net adjustment for each period could be positive (removing the non-cash effect of a net increase in aggregate loss reserves) or negative (removing the non-cash effect of a net decrease in aggregate loss reserves) in these adjustments to FFO in calculating Core FFO. More information on our expected credit loss reserves may be found in note 4 of our consolidated financial statements.





7)

We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At March 31, 2021, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $30.0 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 8.9 years.





8)

We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower (see note 10).





9)

This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 8 above) which was earned and accrued on various real estate loans prior to those periods and previously deducted in our calculation of AFFO.





10)

This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers.





11)

Occasionally we receive fees in exchange for the termination of our purchase options related to certain multifamily communities. These fees are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in our calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For periods in which recognized termination fee revenues exceeded the amount of cash received, a negative adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; for periods in which cash received exceeded the amount of recognized termination fee revenues, an additive adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.





12)

This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At March 31, 2021, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $49.9 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.6 years.





13)

This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.





14)

We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets' revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. This adjustment includes approximately $18,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three months ended March 31, 2021. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Building Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms.





15)

Since our AFFO results are positive for the periods reflected, we are presenting recalculated diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock and Class A Units for these periods for purposes of this table, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from grants of the Class B Units, warrants included in units of Series A Preferred Stock issued, as well as annual grants of restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units. The weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are the same for basic and diluted for any period for which we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our average same-store multifamily communities' physical occupancy was 95.8%. We calculate average same-store physical occupancy for quarterly periods as the average of the number of occupied units on the 20th day of each of the trailing three months from the reporting period end date and that have been owned for at least 15 full months as of the end of the first quarter of each year. We exclude the operating results of properties for which construction of adjacent phases has commenced, properties which are undergoing significant capital projects, have sustained significant casualty losses, or are being marketed for sale as of the end of the reporting period. We believe "Same Property" information is useful as it allows both management and investors to gauge our management effectiveness via comparisons of financial and operational results between interim and annual periods for those subsets of multifamily communities owned for current and prior comparative periods.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our average stabilized physical occupancy was 95.8%. We calculate average stabilized physical occupancy for quarterly periods as the average number of occupied units on the 20th day of each of the trailing three months from the reporting period end date. All of our multifamily communities were stabilized for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 except The Menlo.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our average economic occupancy was 95.5%. We define average economic occupancy as market rent reduced by vacancy losses, expressed as a percentage. All of our multifamily properties are included in these calculations except for properties which are not yet stabilized (which we define as properties having first achieved 93% physical occupancy for three full months in a quarter), properties which are owned for less than the entire reporting period and properties which are undergoing significant capital projects, have sustained significant casualty losses or are adding additional phases. We also exclude properties which are currently being marketed for sale, of which we had none at March 31, 2021. Average economic occupancy is useful both to management and investors as a gauge of our effectiveness in realizing the full revenue generating potential of our multifamily communities given market rents and occupancy rates. 

Capital Expenditures

We regularly incur capital expenditures related to our owned multifamily communities. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property's value and corresponding revenue-generating ability, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operating cash flows for funding. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, all nonrecurring and discretionary capital expenditures have been reviewed individually and approved on an as-needed basis. Certain recurring safety-related operational capital expenditures have continued without interruption as they remain necessary for the continued normal operation of our properties.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our capital expenditures for multifamily communities consisted of:

(3) Bi-Lo (the former anchor tenant) had extended their term through April 30, 2019 and had no further right or option to extend their lease.

(4) Property is owned through a consolidated joint venture.

(5) The GLA figure shown excludes the GLA of the Kroger store, which is owned by others.

As of March 31, 2021, our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio was 90.8% leased (95.5% excluding redevelopment properties). We define percent leased as the percentage of gross leasable area that is leased as of the period end date, including non-cancelable lease agreements that have been signed which have not yet commenced. This metric is used by management to gauge the extent to which our grocery-anchored shopping centers are delivering their total potential rental and other revenues.

Details regarding lease expirations (assuming no exercises of tenant renewal options) within our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio as of March 31, 2021 were:

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We disclose FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI, each of which meet the definition of a "non-GAAP financial measure", as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result we are required to include in this filing a statement of why the Company believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. The non-GAAP measures of FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders ("FFO")

FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 "White Paper on Funds From Operations," which was restated in 2018, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO as a meaningful supplemental gauge of our operating results, and as is most often presented by other REIT industry participants.

The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one reported by the Company) is:

Net income/loss, excluding:

  • depreciation and amortization related to real estate;
  • gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets;
  • gains and losses from change in control and
  • impairment writedowns of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. 

Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, so caution should be taken in comparing the Company's reported FFO results to those of other companies. The Company's FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders ("Core FFO")

The Company makes adjustments to FFO to remove costs incurred and revenues recorded that are singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company and portray its primary operational results. The Company calculates Core FFO as: 

FFO, plus:

  • acquisition and pursuit (dead deal) costs;
  • loan cost amortization on acquisition term notes and loan coordination fees;
  • losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;
  • internalization costs;
  • expenses incurred on calls of preferred stock;
  • deemed dividends for redemptions of and non-cash dividends on preferred stock;
  • expenses related to the COVID-19 global pandemic; and
  • Less:
  • earnest money forfeitures by prospective asset purchasers.

Core FFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to Core FFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize Core FFO as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of Core FFO removes costs incurred and revenues recorded that are often singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. Core FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders ("AFFO")

AFFO makes further adjustments to Core FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. The Company calculates AFFO as:

Core FFO, plus:

  • non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;
  • non-cash (income) expense for current expected credit losses;
  • amortization of loan closing costs;
  • weather-related property operating losses;
  • depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;
  • net loan origination fees received;
  • deferred interest income received;
  • amortization of lease inducements;
  • cash received in excess of (exceeded by) amortization of purchase option termination revenues;
  • non-cash dividends on Series M Preferred Stock and mShares; and
  • earnest money forfeiture from prospective asset purchaser;

Less:

  • non-cash loan interest income;
  • cash paid for loan closing costs;
  • amortization of acquired real estate intangible liabilities;
  • amortization of straight-line rent adjustments and deferred revenues; and
  • normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized second generation leasing costs.

AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of AFFO removes other significant non-cash charges and revenues and other costs which are not representative of our ongoing business operations, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Same-Store Net Operating Income ("NOI")

We use same-store net operating income as an operational metric for our same-store multifamily communities, enabling comparisons of those properties' operating results between the current reporting period and the prior year comparative period. We define our population of same-store multifamily communities as those that are stabilized and that have been owned for at least 15 full months as of the end of the first quarter of each year, and exclude the operating results of properties for which construction of adjacent phases has commenced, and properties which are undergoing significant capital projects, have sustained significant casualty losses, or are being marketed for sale as of the end of the reporting period. We define net operating income as rental and other property revenues, less total property and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses, and property insurance. We believe that net operating income is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs because it provides measures of core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition costs, and other corporate expenses. Net operating income is a widely utilized measure of comparative operating performance in the REIT industry, but is not a substitute for the most comparable GAAP-compliant measure, net income/loss.
