Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Reports Results for Fourth Quarter 2020
03/01/2021 - 04:20 PM
ATLANTA , March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS) ("we," "our," the "Company," "Preferred Apartment Communities" or "PAC") today reported results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 . Unless otherwise indicated, all per share results are reported based on the basic weighted average shares of Common Stock and Class A Units ("Class A Units") of the Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership (our "Operating Partnership") outstanding. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.
"We are very pleased with our fourth quarter and full year operational results across our entire portfolio which demonstrate the durability and quality of these assets located in the thriving Sunbelt region. Our rent collections were very strong, and we credit this to our best in class teams and our focused Sunbelt strategy. Our Class A suburban multifamily portfolio continues to demonstrate solid growth due to broad positive economic and migration trends," stated Joel Murphy , Preferred Apartment Communities' President and Chief Executive Officer.
"2020 was also a transformational year for PAC. We went on offense and focused on several key strategic initiatives designed to streamline our business and position PAC for future growth. We completed our internalization, which simplified our platform, and completed the sale of our student housing portfolio for $478 million , which simplified our portfolio. With shareholder approval, we improved our governance by allowing shareholders to amend our bylaws, and we improved our balance sheet flexibility by reducing the call option on our Series A preferred stock from 10 years to 5 years. As a result of these steps, we ended the year having significantly reduced our preferred shares outstanding and invested $277 million in multifamily acquisitions. We enter 2021 energized to continue our drive to further improve our balance sheet and to grow our multifamily portfolio by leveraging our deep relationships and local market knowledge in key suburban Sunbelt markets."
Our operating results are presented below.

Financial
Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased 6.8% to approximately $502.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2019 , largely due to incremental revenues from newly acquired real estate assets. Our total revenues declined for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 versus the 2019 period due to the sale on November 3, 2020 of our eight student housing properties. Our net loss per share was $(0.77) and $(0.71) for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $(0.20) and $0.31 per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decline in FFO per share was driven by: deemed dividends resulting from our call of preferred stock and other cash redemptions of preferred stock in the fourth quarter 2020 that totaled approximately $0.49 per share; decreased interest revenue from our smaller portfolio of real estate loan investments and lines of credit of approximately $0.06 per share; and a gain from the sale of mortgage-backed securities in 2019 which did not recur in 2020 of approximately $0.03 per share; partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.06 per share from improved property operational results and acquisitions. Our Core FFO per share result increased to $0.31 , up 19.2% from $0.26 for the third quarter 2020, primarily due to: higher purchase option termination revenue of approximately $0.02 per share; land easement proceeds received in the fourth quarter 2020 of approximately $0.01 per share; and reduced monthly preferred stock dividends following the call of 208,786 shares of preferred stock of approximately $0.01 per share. Our AFFO per share increased to $0.25 for the fourth quarter 2020 from $0.07 for the third quarter 2020, primarily due to: an increase of accrued interest received of approximately $0.07 per share; higher purchase option termination revenue of approximately $0.02 per share; land easement proceeds received in the fourth quarter 2020 of approximately $0.01 per share; reduced monthly preferred stock dividends following the call of 208,786 shares of preferred stock of approximately $0.01 per share; and lower recurring capital expenditures on our real estate properties of approximately $0.02 per share. Our Core FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 57.9% and our Core FFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 78.4% for the fourth quarter 2020. (A) Our AFFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders improved to approximately 81.7% for the fourth quarter 2020 from 90.9% for the third quarter 2020.(A) Our fourth quarter 2020 AFFO payout ratio reflects an increase of accrued interest received on our real estate loan investment portfolio of approximately $3.5 million versus the third quarter 2020. We have approximately $22.5 million of accrued interest revenue on our real estate loan investment portfolio, that will positively impact AFFO when collected. As of December 31, 2020 , our total assets were approximately $4.3 billion , a decrease from our total assets of approximately $4.8 billion at December 31, 2019 that mainly resulted from the sale of our student housing portfolio during the fourth quarter 2020 and the utilization of proceeds to fund a call of 208,786 shares of our preferred stock. (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.

Operational
Our multifamily communities' same store rental and other property revenues increased 0.6% and our same store net operating income increased 0.7% for the year ended December 31, 2020 versus 2019. For the fourth quarter, same store revenues increased 0.1% and same store net operating income decreased 1.9% . Real estate taxes and insurance costs increased 22% and 24% , respectively for the quarter and 6% and 26% respectively for the year to date periods in 2020 due to our increased exposure from property tax judgements that are currently in litigation or under appeal and from increased insurance costs related to adjustments for replacement cost underwriting results. Decreases in property operating and maintenance expense resulted from cost savings realized from the absence of property management fees to our Former Manager following Internalization and reduced advertising and marketing expenditures. We collected 99% of rental revenues from residents in our multifamily communities for each month in 2020. Our average recurring rental revenue collections before and after any effect of rent deferrals for the fourth quarter 2020 were approximately 99.1% and 99.1% for multifamily communities, 97.4% and 98.1% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 99.7% and 99.7% 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. As of December 31, 2020 , we have deferred $1.9 million of retail recurring rental revenue, or approximately 2.7% cumulatively over the last three quarters. Including this deferred rent, we have accounted for 97.5% , 97.2% and 96.4% of fourth quarter, third quarter and second quarter retail recurring rental revenue, respectively. In addition to the deferrals, we granted approximately $542,000 of Covid-related rental abatements, or approximately 0.8% of retail recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the last three 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. Our total retail reserves held steady at $2.5 million , or 2.3% of total retail revenues year to date, which is 0.6% of total company rental and other property revenues. During the fourth quarter 2020, we received the full principal amounts totaling $44.6 million from the repayment of the Sanibel Straights, E-Town and Solis Kennesaw II real estate loan investments, plus approximately $4.2 million of deferred interest revenue from these loans. These transactions collectively returned $48.8 million of capital to us for investment during the fourth quarter. For the full year 2020, we originated three real estate investment loans with a total commitment of $44.1 million . As of December 31, 2020 , the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.3 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry. As of December 31, 2020 , all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for our two fourth quarter acquisitions, which we define as reaching 93% physical occupancy for three full months in a quarter. One fourth quarter multifamily acquisition will achieve stabilization on March 31, 2021 , at which time we will have owned it for a full fiscal quarter. The physical occupancy of our same-store multifamily communities increased to 95.4% at December 31, 2020 from 95.3% at December 31, 2019 . Financing and Capital Markets
As of December 31, 2020 , 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 3.55% for multifamily communities, 4.13% for office properties, 3.91% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.77% in the aggregate. At December 31, 2020 , our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 55.6% . At December 31, 2020 , we had $178.0 million available to be drawn on our revolving line of credit and approximately $75.7 million of cash and restricted cash on hand. During the fourth quarter 2020, we issued and sold an aggregate of 52,333 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 49,105 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net issuance of 3,228 shares of Preferred Stock. Also during the fourth quarter 2020, we called 208,786 shares of Preferred Stock for a net decrease of 205,558 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding and a net cash disbursement of approximately $209.3 million from these transactions. Significant Transactions
On November 3, 2020 , we announced via a press release the closing on that day of the sale of all of our student housing properties and one student housing related real estate loan investment to an unrelated third party for a sales price of $478.7 million . During the fourth quarter 2020, we acquired The Blake, a 281-unit multifamily community located in Orlando, Florida and The Menlo , a 332-unit multifamily community located in Jacksonville, Florida . On November 12, 2020 , we closed on the sale of the Avenues at Creekside, a 395-unit multifamily community located in San Antonio, Texas that resulted in a gain of approximately $17.3 million . On November 19, 2020 , we announced an approval by our common stockholders of a reduction of our call option on our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock from 10 years to 5 years. On November 19, 2020 , we announced a call of approximately $208.8 million of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock. During the fourth quarter 2020, we received approximately $48.8 million in full satisfaction of the principal and all interest due on four previously issued real estate loan investments.

Same-Store Multifamily Communities Financial Data
The following chart presents same-store operating results for the Company's multifamily communities.

2021 Guidance:
Net income (loss) per share - We 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 forecasted range for the full year 2021 is $0.81 - $0.89 per weighted average share and unit.
Assumptions for our 2021 Core FFO guidance:
Same-store NOI growth for multifamily communities of 1.5% - 3.0% Real estate loan investment originations of $50 million - $100 million This guidance also includes the impact of a material decline in purchase option termination revenues. Please note that our guidance does not include any additional calls of our Series A Preferred Stock. We will update this guidance if, as and when it becomes appropriate.
We expect the growth in NOI for multifamily communities and the new investment loan originations to be weighted towards the second half of 2021. We will be active in the acquisition market for multifamily assets but will maintain investment discipline in a very competitive environment.
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 and years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 appear in the attached report, as well as on our website using the following link:

COVID-19
Our percentages of rent collected have stabilized at or near pre-pandemic levels during the fourth quarter 2020.

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 and year ended December 31, 2020 include activity for the properties acquired during the period only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, these periods include activity for the properties acquired since December 31, 2019. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-months and year ended December 31, 2019 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.
2)
Non-controlling interests in Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 648,936 Class A Units as of December 31, 2020. 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 1.44% and 1.54% for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
3)
We paid loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or our Former Manager, to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization. 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 December 31, 2020, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $11.7 million , which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.5 years.
4)
This adjustment reflects the add-back of (i) consideration paid to the owners of the Former Manager and 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.
5)
This adjustment adds back expenses incurred by us to effect an amendment of the Company's charter necessary to allow us to redeem outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock beginning on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, rather than the tenth anniversary.
6)
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.
7)
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.
8)
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 December 31, 2020, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $31.1 million , which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 9.0 years.
9)
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).
10)
This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 9 above) which was earned and accrued on various real estate loans prior to those periods and previously deducted in our calculation of AFFO.
11)
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.
12)
Occasionally we receive fees in exchange for the termination of our purchase options related to certain multifamily and student housing properties. 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.
13)
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 December 31, 2020, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $51.9 million , which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.7 years.
14)
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.
15)
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 $31,000 and $131,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three-months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Buildings Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms.
16)
Units and Unitholders refer to Class A Units in our Operating Partnership (as defined in note 2), or Class A Units, and holders of Class A Units, respectively. Unitholders include recipients of awards of Class B Units in our Operating Partnership, or Class B Units, for annual service which became vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units. Unitholders also include the entity that contributed the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center.
17)
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.

(2) The option period window begins and ends at the number of days indicated beyond the achievement of a 93% physical occupancy rate by the underlying property.
(3) The option period window begins on the later of one year following receipt of final certificate of occupancy or 90 days beyond the achievement of a 93% physical occupancy rate by the underlying property and ends 60 days beyond the option period beginning date.

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 , our average same-store multifamily communities' physical occupancy was 95.6% . 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 December 31, 2020 , our average stabilized physical occupancy was 95.6% . 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 December 31, 2020 except The Blake and The Menlo that were both acquired during the fourth quarter 2020.
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2020 , 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 December 31, 2020 . 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 and student housing properties. 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 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 December 31, 2020, our capital expenditures for multifamily communities consisted of:

As of December 31, 2020 , our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio was 91.0% leased (95.6% 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.

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; contingent management fees recognized upon property sales; 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; 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; 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 and straight-line rent adjustments; amortization of 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.
Multifamily Communities' Same-Store Net Operating Income ("NOI")
We use same store net operating income as an operational metric for our same-store 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 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.
