THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | 1

Atlanta, GA, November 8, 2021

    Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS) ("we," "our," the "Company," "Preferred Apartment Communities" or "PAC") today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. 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 on page S-19.

“The third quarter was an extremely active one for PAC as we continue to execute on our strategic capital recycling initiatives. After completing the sale of the vast majority of our office properties, we immediately put into play our plan to recycle capital into high-quality Sunbelt multifamily assets and with calls and redemptions of Series A Preferred stock in excess of $300 million. As a result of our redeployment efforts, we now have a simplified portfolio with higher embedded organic growth opportunities and lower capital requirements, as well as improved balance sheet flexibility. Our Sunbelt market focus continues to provide an excellent fundamental backdrop in the form of long-term population and job growth, which contributes to sustained high occupancy and NOI growth in our assets. These fundamentals and the quality and vintage of our multifamily portfolio are continuing to produce strong results, with top line same store revenue growth of 7.5% and same-store NOI growth of 8.8%. For the third quarter, our same-store properties had 24.1% rent growth for new leases and 8.8% for renewals for a blended 15.6% increase. This rent growth we saw in the third quarter has continued into October as our new leases are up 25.6% and our renewals have increased 13.3% for a blended 18.6% increase. We look forward to building on these achievements for the balance of the year and into 2022 and beyond.” stated Joel Murphy, Preferred Apartment Communities Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Financial

•Our total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased approximately $15.4 million, or 12.2%, to $111.0 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to the absence of revenues from the eight student housing properties that we sold on November 3, 2020 and the seven office properties and one real estate loan investment that we sold during the third quarter 2021. The student housing properties contributed approximately $12.5 million, or 9.9% of our total revenues and the disposed office properties and real estate loan investment contributed approximately $17.3 million, or 13.7% of our total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the contributions of these disposed assets, our year-over-year total revenues would have increased $7.7 million, or 8%.

•Our net loss per share was $(0.92) and $(0.79) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $(0.31) and $0.17 per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in FFO per share was driven by:

*deemed dividends due to calls and cash redemptions of our preferred stock of $(0.51) per share;

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share;

*partially offset by lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share; and

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share.

•Our Core FFO per share increased to $0.28 for the third quarter 2021 from $0.26 for the third quarter 2020, due to:

*lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share;

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share; and

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share.

•Our AFFO per share increased to $0.40 for the third quarter 2021 from $0.07 for the third quarter 2020 due to:

*accrued interest income received of $0.16 per share;

*lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share;

*cash received from purchase option termination agreements of $0.06 per share;

*smaller adjustments to remove non-cash revenues from amortization of deferred revenues, straight-line rent adjustments, above and below market leases and lease inducements of $0.05;

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share; and

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | 3

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share.

•Our Core FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 63.7% and our Core FFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 79.5% for the third quarter 2021. (A)

•Our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 44.6% and our AFFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 73.1% for the third quarter 2021.

•As of September 30, 2021, our total assets were approximately $3.7 billion, a net decrease from our total assets of approximately $4.7 billion at September 30, 2020, that primarily resulted from the sale of seven office properties during the third quarter 2021 and of our student housing portfolio during the fourth quarter 2020, offset by the acquisition of five multifamily communities (net of dispositions).

(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 on page S-19.

Operational

•Our multifamily communities' same-store rental and other property revenues increased 7.5%, same-store property operating expenses increased 5.7% and same-store net operating income increased 8.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 versus 2020. Our same-store multifamily communities include all our multifamily communities except Artisan at Viera, The Menlo, The Blake, Parkside at the Beach, Horizon at Wiregrass, The Ellison, Alleia at Presidio, The Anson, The Kingson, and Chestnut Farm, all of which were acquired in the last 26 months.

•Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 24.1% and 8.8% respectively and 15.6% blended for third quarter 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases of six months or less.

•Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 25.6% and 13.3% respectively and 18.6% blended for October 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases of six months or less.

•As of September 30, 2021, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.1 years, which we believe is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.

•As of September 30, 2021, all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for The Ellison (that was acquired on June 30, 2021), and Alleia at Presidio, The Anson, The Kingson, and Chestnut Farm, which were all acquired during the third quarter 2021. We define stabilization as reaching 93% occupancy for all three consecutive months within a single quarter.

•The average physical occupancy of our same-store multifamily communities increased to 97.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 from 95.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 96.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

•Our average recurring rental revenue collections were approximately 99.2% for multifamily communities and 99.2% for grocery-anchored retail properties for the third quarter 2021.

Financing and Capital Markets

•As of September 30, 2021, approximately 95.1% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 0.9% 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 3.3% for multifamily communities, 4.2% for office properties, 3.9% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.5% in the aggregate.

•During the third quarter 2021, we received the full principal and interest amounts due from the repayment of eleven real estate loan investments associated with six properties that totaled approximately $114.1 million, plus purchase option termination fee proceeds of approximately $5.4 million.

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- We are revising our guidance today to reflect the impact of the third quarter’s performance and milestones. We now expect Core FFO per share in the range of $1.00 to $1.07 for the full year 2021, reflecting a general increase in our expectation and a tightening of the range as we close in on the end of the year.

Underpinning this guidance are the following updated assumptions:

•Same Store Multifamily NOI Growth of 5.5% to 7% -- We are raising the low end of the range from our prior range of 5.0% to 7.0%,

•$300MM to $400MM of acquisitions of multifamily properties, unchanged from previous guidance and

•New real estate loan investment originations of $50-$100MM, which is also unchanged from previous guidance.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | 6

Our guidance continues to include the impact of purchase option terminations revenues and CECL reserve reversals as a result of real estate loan investments being repaid, which in combination with the accelerating growth in the multifamily portfolio, is helping to offset the dilution of the office portfolio sale in the short term. The increase in purchase option revenue represents a significant acceleration of payoffs and acquisitions of properties that were originally contemplated in 2022. This acceleration will have a material benefit to our results in 2021, to the detriment of the results in 2022. These one-time items will be very difficult to replace going forward, as we have fewer purchase option termination revenue opportunities in our loan investment portfolio today. In addition, as we discussed last quarter, our largest loan investment in San Jose, California is scheduled to mature in Q1 2022. There is a chance it will pay off in Q4 2021, which would have a dramatic impact on both 2021 results to the positive, and 2022 results to the negative.

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-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 appear beginning on page S-3 of the attached report, as well as on our website using the following link:

(3) Seven of our office properties and a real estate loan investment supporting the 8West office building were sold during the third quarter 2021.

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.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | 7

For the periods presented, same-store operating results consist of the operating results of the multifamily communities listed on page S-13, comprising an aggregate 9,222 units, or 76.5% 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 on page S-19.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | S - 4

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 September 30, 2021 include activity for the properties acquired since September 30, 2020. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 496,269 Class A Units as of September 30, 2021. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with theseller'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 0.94% and 1.47% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 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 (defined in note 4 below). 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 September 30, 2021, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $8.3 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.2 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 and Former Sub-Manager (the "Internalization Transaction").

5)    This additive adjustment removes the effect of deemed dividends that arise from cash calls and redemptions of preferred stock. For preferred stock shares that are called by the Company or redeemed by the holder, the Company records a deemed dividend for the difference between the redemption of the share at its face value, net of any redemption discount, as compared to the carrying value of the share on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Also included in this adjustment is the adding back of expenses incurred related to effecting calls of preferred stock.

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)    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 September 30, 2021, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $30.4 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 8.0 years.

8) We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. The total fees received are additive adjustments to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

9) 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. Once received from the borrower, the amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to Core FFO 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.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | S - 5

12) Loan origination fees (described in note 8 above) are recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. Similarly, the accrual of additional interest amounts (described in note 9 above) are recognized beginning from loan inception through the repayment of the loan or the refinancing or sale of the underlying property. This adjustment removes the effect of both these types of non-cash loan interest income from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

13)    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 Core FFO in calculating AFFO.

14)    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 September 30, 2021, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $37.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.3 years.

15)    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.

16)    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 $21,000 and $59,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively. 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.

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.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | S - 13

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, our average same-store multifamily communities' physical occupancy was 97.1%. 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 September 30, 2021, our average stabilized physical occupancy was 97.2%. 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 September 30, 2021 except The Ellison, Alleia at Presidio, The Anson, The Kingson and Chestnut Farm.

    For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, our average stabilized economic occupancy was 96.6%. 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 September 30, 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.

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | S - 14

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.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, our capital expenditures for multifamily communities consisted of:

(1) Gross leasable area, or GLA, represents the total amount of property square footage that can be leased to tenants.

(2) Investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that is not prorated for our ownership percentage.

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

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

    As of September 30, 2021, our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio was 90.7% leased (95.4% 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 line of credit 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

THIRD QUARTER 2021 - EARNINGS RELEASE AND SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL DATA | S - 19

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;

• non-cash dividends on Series M1 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 straight-line rent adjustments and acquired real estate intangible assets and/or liabilities;

• 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.

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.
