DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Apartment Investment and Management Company (“Aimco”) (NYSE: AIV) announced today third quarter results for 2022 and provided highlights on recent activities.

Wes Powell, Aimco President and Chief Executive Officer, comments: “Aimco had a productive third quarter, building on the accomplishments of the first half of 2022 and effectively positioning the company in the face of rapidly shifting market conditions. Aimco benefits from a strong balance sheet with limited near-term maturities, abundant liquidity and fully funded development commitments. We proactively monetized more than $900 million of assets during 2022, while also substantially adding to our high-quality development pipeline and opportunistically acquiring over one million shares of Aimco common stock.

"Our active developments and redevelopment projects remain on track. At The Hamilton, Aimco's major redevelopment in Miami, we welcomed residents to their new homes in October and are experiencing healthy demand for this unique waterfront property. The building is 35% leased at rental rates ahead of our original expectations.

"Our diversified portfolio of stabilized income producing properties continues to yield strong results, with revenues up 11.0% and net operating income up 15.8% year to date. New customer rent-to-income ratios remain comfortable at 21.6% while Aimco retained 56.1% of our residents whose leases were expiring during the quarter at rents 15.1% higher, on average, than the previous lease."

Mr. Powell continued, "Our work over the past few years has better positioned us to weather what are likely to be stormy business and capital markets conditions to come. We fully intend to execute on the development projects we have underway, we will lean on the steady cashflows produced by our portfolio of stabilized apartment communities, we will continue our efforts to source third party capital and make disciplined decisions in regard to the allocation of AIV’s capital; always focusing on its cost and the expected returns of its use on a risk adjusted basis.

"Finally, I am thankful to the Aimco team for their execution and good work, and to the Aimco Board of Directors for their engagement and guidance, as we continue to build, and unlock, value for Aimco shareholders.”

Financial Results and Recent Highlights

• Net income attributable to common stockholders per share, on a fully dilutive basis, was $0.19 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to net income per share of $(0.03) for the same period in 2021, due primarily to net gains from real estate transactions in the third quarter, increased tax benefit, and higher net income from property operations.
• As of October 31, 2022, total shareholder return ("TSR") since the December 15, 2020 separation from AIR was 57.9% and year-to-date was 3.1%.
• Year-to-date through October 31, 2022, Aimco has repurchased more than 1.3 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of approximately $6.41 per share.
• Third Quarter 2022 Revenue and NOI from Aimco’s Stabilized Operating Properties were up 11.5% and 17.5%, respectively, year over year, with average revenue per apartment home of $2,173, up $261 year over year.
• Aimco closed the previously announced $669 million lease termination transaction with AIR that returned the four leased properties to AIR in exchange for a payment to Aimco of $200 million thereby eliminating the $469 million obligation related to these leased assets. Aimco's execution in the development and lease-up of these assets resulted in Value Creation, net of costs of approximately $100 million for shareholders.
• Aimco completed the early repayment of the $534 million of notes due to AIR, originally scheduled to mature in January 2024.
• Aimco exited the Seattle market, closing on the sales of two apartment communities for a total of $122 million.

Value Add, Opportunistic & Alternative Investments:

Development and Redevelopment

Aimco generally seeks development and redevelopment opportunities where barriers to entry are high, target customers can be clearly defined, and Aimco has a comparative advantage over others in the market. Aimco’s Value Add and Opportunistic investments may also target portfolio acquisitions, operational turnarounds, and re-entitlements.

As of September 30, 2022, Aimco had four active development and redevelopment projects located in four U.S. markets, in varying phases of construction and lease-up. These projects remain on track, as measured by budget and lease-up metrics. During the third quarter, Aimco invested $60.6 million in development and redevelopment activities. Updates include:

• At The Hamilton in Miami, Florida, Aimco welcomed the first residents into redesigned and fully renovated units in early October 2022. As of October 31, 2022, 97 units were leased or pre-leased at rental rates more than 20% ahead of underwriting.
• Construction continues on schedule and on budget at Upton Place in Northwest Washington, D.C., the Benson Hotel and Faculty Club on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, and at our single-family home development project, Oak Shore, in Corte Madera, California.

Alternative Investments

Aimco makes alternative investments where it has special knowledge or expertise relevant to the venture and where opportunity exists for positive asymmetric outcomes. Aimco’s current alternative investments include a mezzanine loan secured by a stabilized multifamily property with an option to participate in future multifamily development as well as three passive equity investments. Updates include:

• The borrower on Aimco’s $362.8 million mezzanine loan, which is secured by the Parkmerced stabilized multifamily property plus phases two through nine of the site's future development opportunity, remains current on its first mortgage obligations. Due to the relative size of Aimco’s investment and alternative accretive uses of capital, Aimco initiated a marketing effort in July to explore opportunities to monetize all or a portion of its investment. Increased uncertainty within financial and capital markets led us to extend the timeline related to this process and its execution.

Investment Activity

Aimco is focused on development and redevelopment, funded primarily through joint ventures. Aimco will also consider opportunistic investments in related activities. Updates include:

• As previously announced, in July and August, Aimco closed on the purchase of two development parcels, completing the assemblage it contracted to acquire, for $100 million, in February 2022. The nine-acre assemblage is located in the rapidly growing Flagler Village neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and allows for approximately three million square feet of phased, mixed-use development, which could contain up to 1,500 residential units, more than 300 hotel keys, and more than 100,000 square feet of retail space at full build-out.

Operating Property Results

Aimco owns a diversified portfolio of operating apartment communities located in eight major U.S. markets with average rents in line with local market averages. Aimco also owns one commercial office building that is part of an assemblage with an adjacent apartment building.

Aimco’s operating properties produced solid results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

*Excluded from the table above is one, 40-unit apartment community that Aimco’s ownership includes a partnership share.

• Revenue in the third quarter 2022 was $34.7 million, up 11.5% year-over-year, resulting from a $261 increase in average monthly revenue per apartment home to $2,173, offset with a 190-basis point decrease in Average Daily Occupancy to 96.0%. In October, Average Daily Occupancy increased to 96.9%.
• New lease rents increased 15.8% and Aimco retained 56.1% of residents whose leases were expiring during the quarter at rents 15.1% higher, on average, than the previous lease.
• The median annual household income of new residents was more than $136,300 in the third quarter 2022, representing a rent to income ratio of 21.6%.
• Expenses in the third quarter 2022 were down 0.7% due to a favorable nonrecurring 2022 real estate tax adjustments made within the quarter. Before real estate taxes, expenses, net of utility reimbursements were up 5.3%.
• Net operating income in the third quarter 2022 was $24.5 million, up 17.5% year-over-year.

In addition, strong leasing momentum continued at 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, a waterfront office building in Miami, Florida, owned as part of a larger assemblage with substantial development potential. Year to date, September 2022, Aimco executed leases on over 76,000 square feet of office space, at rates per square foot 15% higher than leases executed in the same period of 2021. At the end of the third quarter 2022, the building was 84% occupied, up from 73% at the same time last year. Leases within the building have been executed on terms of less than four years or contain redevelopment provisions as needed to maximize the value of the underlying development rights.

Property Dispositions

Year to date, Aimco has sold three stabilized properties at values exceeding those used in Aimco's internal NAV estimate. Net proceeds from the sales were primarily used to reduce leverage. In the third quarter, Aimco completed the sale of two of the three properties sold:

• In July, Aimco sold Cedar Rim, a 104-unit apartment community located in Renton, Washington, for $53.0 million.
• In August, Aimco sold 2900 on First, a 135-unit apartment community with 14,000 square feet of retail located in Seattle, Washington for $69.0 million.
• As previously announced, in September Aimco closed the $669 million lease termination transaction with AIR that returned the four leased properties to AIR in exchange for a payment to Aimco of $200 million thereby eliminating the $469 million obligation related to these leased assets. Aimco's execution in the development and lease-up of these assets resulted in Value Creation, net of costs, of approximately $100 million for shareholders.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

Aimco is highly focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, including having at all times ample liquidity. As of September 30, 2022, Aimco had access to $375.4 million, including $206.3 million of cash on hand, $19.1 million of restricted cash, and the capacity to borrow up to $150.0 million on its revolving credit facility.

Aimco’s net leverage as of September 30, 2022, was as follows:

As of September 30, 2022, Aimco had interest rate cap protection in place for 100% of its floating rate exposure. Aimco's interest hedging instruments, purchased to provide protection against increases in interest rates, were valued at $61.3 million versus a cost basis of $15.7 million.

Debt Repayments

• Aimco completed the accelerated repayment of $534 million in notes, which carried a rate of 5.2%, prior to their maturity in January 2024. The early payoff, including $17.4 million of spread maintenance costs, was completed in July.
• In September, Aimco retired the $138.4 million construction loan concurrent with the cancellation of the leasehold at Flamingo Point.

The loan has an initial term of 24 months with an option to extend for one additional 12-month period and has a floating interest rate equal to one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 675 basis points with a floor of 8.00%.
• In October, Aimco placed a non-recourse, $81.3 million property loan on its commercial office building, 1001 Brickell Bay Drive. The loan has an initial term of 36 months with options to extend for two additional 12-month periods and has a floating interest rate equal to one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 450 basis points with a floor of 6.00%.

Equity Financing

• In July, Aimco closed a $102 million, 8% preferred equity financing on a portfolio of stabilized assets with an equity partner. The financing has a seven-year term but is fully pre-payable after 48 months.
• In August, Aimco entered into an agreement with the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC) to fund up to $1 billion of future Aimco-led multifamily developments. Pursuant to the agreement, APFC will fund up to $360 million of limited partner equity into projects meeting specific criteria, including, among other items, return thresholds and minimum project size.
