EXPLANATORY NOTE

This filing combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, of Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, and AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership. Where it is important to distinguish between the two entities, we refer to them specifically. Otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” or “our” mean, collectively, Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated entities.

Aimco, a Maryland corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Aimco, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the general and special limited partner of the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2020, Aimco owned approximately 93.5% of the legal interest in the common partnership units of the Aimco Operating Partnership and 94.9% of the economic interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership. The remaining 6.5% legal interest and 5.1% economic interest is owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Aimco Operating Partnership, Aimco has exclusive control of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Aimco Operating Partnership holds all of Aimco’s assets and manages the daily operations of Aimco’s business. Pursuant to the Aimco Operating Partnership agreement, Aimco is required to contribute to the Aimco Operating Partnership all proceeds from the offerings of its securities. In exchange for the contribution of such proceeds, Aimco receives additional interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership with similar terms (e.g., if Aimco contributes proceeds of a stock offering, Aimco receives partnership units with terms substantially similar to the stock issued by Aimco).

We believe combining the periodic reports of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

• We present our business as a whole, in the same manner our management views and operates the business;

• We eliminate duplicative disclosure and provide a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership; and

• We save time and cost through the preparation of a single combined report rather than two separate reports.

We operate Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership as one enterprise, the management of Aimco directs the management and operations of the Aimco Operating Partnership, and the members of the Board of Directors of Aimco are identical to those of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s general partner.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in the context of how Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. Aimco has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Also, Aimco is a corporation that issues publicly traded equity from time to time, whereas the Aimco Operating Partnership is a partnership that has no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from stock offerings by Aimco, which are contributed to the Aimco Operating Partnership in exchange for additional limited partnership interests (of a similar type and in an amount equal to the shares of stock sold in the offering), the Aimco Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by its business. These sources include the Aimco Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its revolving credit facility, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including additional partnership units, and proceeds received from the sale of apartment communities.

Equity, partners’ capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Aimco and those of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership held by entities other than Aimco, which we refer to as OP Units, are classified within partners’ capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in Aimco’s financial statements.

To help investors understand the differences between Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership, this report provides: separate condensed consolidated financial statements for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership; a single set of condensed consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s earnings per share or earnings per unit, as applicable; and a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes discrete information related to each entity, where appropriate.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY

AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. Aimco is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994, to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment, and some development of quality apartment communities located in several of the largest markets in the United States.

Aimco, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, holds a majority of the ownership interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco conducts all of its business and owns all of its assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as OP Units. OP Units include common partnership units, which we refer to as common OP Units, as well as preferred partnership units, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2020, after elimination of units held by consolidated subsidiaries, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 159,182,513 common OP Units outstanding. As of September 30, 2020, Aimco owned 148,865,947 of the common OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco had an equal number of shares of its Class A Common Stock outstanding, which we refer to as Common Stock. Aimco’s ownership of the total common OP units outstanding represents a 93.5% legal interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership and a 94.9% economic interest.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

We own and operate a portfolio of apartment communities, diversified by both geography and price point, in 17 states and the District of Columbia. As of September 30, 2020, our portfolio included 126 apartment communities with 33,209 apartment homes in which we held an average ownership of approximately 95%. We consolidated 122 of these apartment communities with 33,067 apartment homes.

On September 14, 2020, we announced a Board-led plan, informed by active and regular engagement with shareholders, to reduce financial risk and execution risk, and to increase shareholder value by division of our business between two public entities. The first, with approximately 90% of our estimated fair value, will be known as Apartment Income REIT, or AIR. The second entity, with 10% of our estimated fair value, will be known as Aimco, or sometimes for clarity, as “new” Aimco, and is expected to hold the non-traditional assets, specified below. Separation costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, totaled $11.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively, are reflected in other expenses, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Following the completion of the separation, we expect to retain the redevelopment and development business, 25 consolidated communities including 16 multi-family communities securing a $534 million note payable due to AIR, and four non-100% owned communities that we do not consolidate. In addition, we expect to hold non-traditional assets such as other investments including 1001 Brickell Bay Tower and our loan to, and equity option in, the partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2019, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member of a limited liability company. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Redeemable Preferred OP Units

As described in Note 5, the preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holder’s option and are therefore presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units from December 31, 2019, to September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2019	$	97,064
Preferred distributions		(5,415	)
Redemption of preferred units		(17,615	)
Net income		5,415
Balance at September 30, 2020	$	79,449

The Aimco Operating Partnership has outstanding various classes of redeemable preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 2,938,802 and 3,643,399 redeemable preferred OP Units, respectively, issued and outstanding. Distributions per annum range from 1.92% to 8.75% per class and $0.48 to $8.00 per unit.

Revenue from Leases

The majority of lease payments we receive from our residents and tenants are fixed. We receive variable payments from our residents and commercial tenants primarily for utility reimbursements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our total lease income was comprised of the following amounts for all operating leases (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020			2019
Fixed lease income	$	200,295	$	213,945	$	619,447		$	639,359
Variable lease income		14,578		15,005		40,842			42,814
Straight-line rent write-off (1)		—		—		(2,927	)		—
Total lease income	$	214,873	$	228,950	$	657,362		$	682,173

(1) We monitor the collectability of all unpaid rent amounts. The onset of COVID-19 and the anticipated economic slowdown resulted in a $2.9 million write-off of accrued straight-line rent during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, we wrote-off the related deferred leasing costs of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The write-offs of deferred leasing costs are recorded in depreciation and amortization in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

16

In response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental lockdown, many jurisdictions where our communities are located have enacted protections for residents and commercial tenants, including government-mandated rent deferrals, rent freezes, repayment extensions, fee abatement measures or concessions, and prohibitions on lease terminations or evictions for tenants. Some states and municipalities are also implementing rental assistance programs and encouraging landlord-tenant negotiations.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions, including deferrals or reductions of future lease payments. Consequently, in accordance with the Staff Q&A issued by the FASB, we may elect to record rent relief when granted rather than over the remaining term of the lease. Our residential tenants represent approximately 97% of revenue and our commercial tenants represent approximately 3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we granted to commercial tenants $0.6 million and $1.0 million in rent relief, respectively, and elected to record these as a reduction of variable lease income in the table above.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Revisions

For the 2020 presentation of our condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have added a caption for investment management expenses. We have reclassified certain items from property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, net, in our 2019 presentation to conform to the current presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, issued by the FASB which changes the method and timing of the recognition of credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires us to estimate and record credit losses over the life of a financial instrument, including receivables, at its inception. Our notes receivable and investments in available for sale, or AFS, debt securities are subject to the new standard. For AFS debt securities, the new standard requires us to estimate a credit loss if the fair value of the instruments is less than the carrying value of the instruments.

We adopted the credit loss standard using the modified-retrospective approach. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment for the estimated credit loss associated with our notes receivable of $0.3 million in distributions in excess of earnings and partners’ capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2020. As of the date of adoption, the fair value of our AFS debt securities exceeded their carrying value and no estimate of credit loss was required for these instruments.

Note 3 — Significant Transactions

Joint Venture Transaction

On September 8, 2020, we formed a joint venture with a passive institutional investor, to own a portfolio of 12 multi-family apartment communities with 4,051 homes located in California. The communities included in the joint venture were valued at $2.4 billion, or approximately $592,000 per apartment home. The joint venture has existing property debt of $1.22 billion and an implied equity value of $1.18 billion. In exchange for a 39% interest subject to $475 million of property debt, we received $461 million. We retain ownership of 61% of the joint venture and will control and operate the communities in exchange for property and asset management fees.

We evaluated the joint venture and concluded that we will continue to consolidate these communities. The difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the interest sold was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

17

Acquisition of Hamilton on the Bay

On August 25, 2020, we acquired Hamilton on the Bay, an apartment community and an adjacent land parcel located in Miami, Florida. Summarized information regarding this acquisition is set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Number of apartment homes		271
Purchase price	$	89,600
Capitalized transaction costs		2,506
Total consideration	$	92,106
Consideration allocated to land	$	56,251
Consideration allocated to building and improvements		34,645
Consideration allocated to intangible assets (1)		1,506
Consideration allocated to below-market lease liabilities (2)		(296	)
Total consideration	$	92,106

(1) Intangible assets include in-place leases and leasing costs with a weighted-average term of 0.5 years.

(2) Below-market leases have a weighted-average term of 0.8 years.

Dispositions of Apartment Communities

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no apartment communities were sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold one apartment community with 219 apartment homes for a gain on disposition of $47.2 million and sold eight apartment communities with 2,605 apartment homes for a gain on dispositions of $356.9 million, respectively. The apartment communities sold were in lower-rated locations within our primary markets and had average revenues per apartment home significantly below those of our retained portfolio.

From time to time we may be marketing for sale certain apartment communities that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. At the end of each reporting period we evaluate whether such communities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2020, we classified a 266-apartment home community as held for sale that is expected to be sold for gross proceeds of approximately $126 million later in 2020.

Term Loan

On April 20, 2020, we secured a $350.0 million term loan. The loan matures on April 20, 2021, includes a one-year extension option, and currently bears interest at a 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85%, with a 50-basis point LIBOR floor. Proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

Life Science Developer Investment

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we made a $50 million commitment to IQHQ, a privately-held life-sciences real estate development company. In addition, we gained the right to collaborate with IQHQ on any multifamily component at its future development sites.

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our redevelopment, development, and other capital additions activities, we have entered into various construction-related contracts and we have made commitments to complete redevelopment and development of certain apartment communities, pursuant to financing or other arrangements. As of September 30, 2020, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $184 million, most of which we expect to incur during the next 12 months.

We enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our apartment communities. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Legal Matters

In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by our general liability insurance program, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

18

Environmental

Various federal, state, and local laws subject apartment community owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present in the land or buildings of an apartment community. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remediate properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at such apartment communities as well as the ability to sell or finance such apartment communities. In addition, governmental agencies may bring claims for costs associated with investigation and remediation actions. Moreover, private plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or for personal injury, disease, disability, or other infirmities related to the alleged presence of hazardous materials. In addition to potential environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current apartment communities, we may also be responsible for such liabilities or costs associated with communities we acquire or manage in the future, or apartment communities we no longer own or operate.

We are engaged in discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regarding contaminated groundwater near an Indiana apartment community that has not been owned by us since 2008. The contamination allegedly derives from a dry cleaner that operated on our former property, prior to our ownership. We undertook a voluntary remediation of the dry cleaner contamination under state oversight. In 2016, EPA listed our former community and a number of residential communities in the vicinity on the National Priorities List, or NPL (i.e., as a Superfund site). In May 2018, we prevailed on our federal judicial appeal vacating the Superfund listing. We continue to work with EPA to formulate an agreed order to reimburse EPA costs and finish clean up of the site outside the Superfund program. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We also have a contingent environmental liability related to a property in Lake Tahoe, California. An entity owned by us was the former general partner of a now-dissolved partnership that previously owned a site where a laundromat, with a self-service dry-cleaning machine, operated. That entity and the current property owner have been remediating the site since 2009, under the oversight of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, or Lahontan. In May 2017, Lahontan issued a final cleanup and abatement order that names four potentially-responsible parties, acknowledges that there may be additional responsible parties, and requires the named parties to perform additional groundwater investigation and corrective actions with respect to onsite and offsite contamination. We appealed the final order, and on June 1, 2020, the court vacated the Order against us. However, there are still civil suits pending related to this contingent liability. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate certain potentially hazardous materials may be conditional asset retirement obligations, as defined by GAAP. Except in limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or apartment community casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2020, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Note 5 — Earnings and Dividends per Share and Unit

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership calculate basic earnings per common share and basic earnings per common unit based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit taking into consideration dilutive common stock and common partnership unit equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period.

Our common stock and common partnership unit equivalents include options to purchase shares of Common Stock, which, if exercised, would result in Aimco’s issuance of additional shares and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s issuance to Aimco of additional common partnership units equal to the number of shares purchased under the options. These equivalents also include unvested total shareholder return, or TSR, restricted stock awards that do not meet the definition of participating securities, which would result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units outstanding equal to the number of shares that vest. Common partnership unit equivalents also include unvested long-term incentive partnership units. We include in the denominator securities with dilutive effect in calculating diluted earnings per share and per unit during these periods.

Our restricted stock awards that are subject to time-based vesting receive non-forfeitable dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units prior to vesting, and our TSR long-term incentive partnership units receive non-forfeitable distributions based on specified percentages of the distributions paid to common partnership units prior to vesting

19

and conversion. The unvested restricted shares and units related to these awards are participating securities. We include the effect of participating securities in basic and diluted earnings per share and unit computations using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings when the two-class method is more dilutive than the treasury stock method.

Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share and per unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, are as follows (in thousands, except per share and per unit data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Aimco Operating Partnership has various classes of preferred OP Units, which may be redeemed at the holders’ option. The Aimco Operating Partnership may redeem these units for cash, or at its option, shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, these preferred OP Units were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.4 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, we have excluded these securities from earnings per share and unit computations for the periods presented above, and we expect to exclude them in future periods.

Dividends and distributions paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Dividends and distributions paid	$	0.41	$	0.39	$	1.23	$	2.80

20

In the first quarter of 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a special dividend and special distribution of $2.02, which is included in the $2.80 in the table above. The special dividend and distribution in the first quarter of 2019 consisted of the below (in millions):

Aimco Special Dividend:
Cash	$	67.1
Shares of Common Stock		4.5
Cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares	$	0.4
Aimco Operating Partnership Special Distribution:
Cash	$	72.7
Common partnership units		4.8
Cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional units	$	0.4

In connection with the 2019 special dividend and distribution, the Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The reverse split combined every 1.03119 common shares and common partnership units into one common share or common partnership unit and was intended to neutralize the dilutive impact of the shares and units issued in the special dividend and distribution. As a result, the number of shares and units outstanding after the dividend/distribution and reverse split was unchanged from the number outstanding immediately prior to the two actions.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investments in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which we classify as AFS debt securities. These investments are presented within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We hold several positions in the securitization trust that pay interest currently and we also hold the first loss position in the securitization trust, which accrues interest over the term of the investment. These investments were acquired at a discount to face value and we are accreting the discount to the $100.9 million face value of the investments through interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining expected term of the investments, which as of September 30, 2020, was approximately 0.8 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $95.3 million and $90.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Our investments in AFS debt securities are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of these investments using an income and market approach with primarily observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The fair value of the positions that pay interest currently typically moves in an inverse relationship with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the first loss position is primarily correlated to collateral quality and demand for similar subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid an upfront premium of $12.1 million for the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a future date. This interest rate option, or swaption, provides partial protection against our refinancing interest rate risk and is intended to mitigate interest rate increases between now and 2024. We receive a cash settlement in the future if the prevailing interest rate is higher than the 1.68% strike price. The amount of future cash settlement is limited if the prevailing interest rate exceeds 2.78%. Alternatively, if interest rates were to decrease below the specified strike price, we would not receive a cash settlement.

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our interest rate option, which is presented in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our interest rate option is classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy, and we estimate its fair value using pricing models that rely on observable market information, including contractual terms, market prices, and interest rate yield curves. The fair value adjustment is included in earnings in other expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair value are reflected as a non-cash transaction in adjustments to arrive at cash flows from operations, and the upfront premium is reflected in other financing in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table summarizes fair value for our AFS debt securities and our interest rate option (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2020								As of December 31, 2019
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
AFS debt securities	$	98,874	$	—	$	98,874	$	—	$	94,251	$	—	$	94,251	$	—
Interest rate option		10,026		—		10,026		—		—		—		—		—

21

Fair Value Disclosures

We believe that the carrying value of the consolidated amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The carrying amounts of notes receivable, the term loan, and the revolving credit facility also approximated their estimated fair value as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019. We estimate the fair value of our non-recourse property debt using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, contractual interest rates, remaining periods to maturity, collateral quality, and loan to value ratios on similarly encumbered apartment communities within our portfolio. We classify the fair value of our non-recourse property debt within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate its fair value.

The following table summarizes carrying value and fair value for our non-recourse property debt (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2020				As of December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Non-recourse property debt	$	4,079,251	$	4,206,702	$	4,251,339	$	4,298,630

Note 7 — Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Entities

Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, a VIE of which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Aimco are that of the Aimco Operating Partnership.

All of the VIEs the Aimco Operating Partnership consolidates own interests in one or more apartment communities and are typically structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the communities. The Aimco Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary in the limited partnerships in which it is the sole decision maker and has a substantial economic interest. The table below summarizes apartment community information regarding VIEs consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership, excluding 1001 Brickell Bay Drive as it is not an apartment community:

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
VIEs with interests in apartment communities		6		6
Apartment communities owned by VIEs		17		6
Apartment homes in communities owned by VIEs		5,409		2,056

Assets of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated VIEs must first be used to settle the liabilities of such consolidated VIEs. These consolidated VIEs’ creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Assets and liabilities of VIEs, excluding those of the Aimco Operating Partnership, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Assets (1)
Net real estate	$	1,424,820	$	501,272
Cash and cash equivalents		15,908		11,600
Restricted cash		8,648		2,063
Other assets		38,815		40,459
Liabilities (1)
Non-recourse property debt, net, secured by Aimco communities		1,284,252		175,842
Deferred tax liability		136,968		147,722
Accrued liabilities and other		42,845		36,107

(1) VIEs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, include one VIE that owns an interest in 1001 Brickell Bay Drive. Assets and liabilities include those of the VIE, but it is not included in the apartment counts above as it is not an apartment community.

Unconsolidated Entities

We have an interest in a partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments, which meets the definition of a VIE. However, we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate this partnership. We loaned $275.0 million to the partnership, which accrues interest at 10% per annum with a five-year term and the right to extend for a second five-year term. Our investment

22

balance of $300.3 million, reflected in mezzanine investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, consists primarily of notes receivable and represents our maximum exposure to loss in this VIE.

Note 8 — Business Segments

We have three segments: (i) Same Store, (ii) Redevelopment and Development, and (iii) Acquisition and Other Real Estate.

Our Same Store segment includes communities that have reached a stabilized level of operations as of the beginning of a two-year comparable period and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior year and are not expected to be sold within 12 months. Our Redevelopment and Development segment includes apartment communities that are currently under construction, and those that have been completed in recent years that have not achieved and maintained stabilized operations for both the current and comparable prior year. Our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment includes: (i) communities that we have acquired since the beginning of a two-year comparable period; (ii) communities that are subject to limitations on rent increases; (iii) communities that we expect to sell within 12 months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (iv) communities that we expect to redevelop; and (v) certain commercial spaces.

Our chief operating decision maker uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues, excluding utility reimbursements, less direct property operating expenses, net of utility reimbursements, for consolidated communities. In our condensed consolidated statements of operations, utility reimbursements are included in rental and other property revenues, in accordance with GAAP.

As of September 30, 2020, our Same Store segment included 93 consolidated apartment communities with 27,610 apartment homes; our Redevelopment and Development segment included eight consolidated communities with 2,521 homes; and our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment included 20 communities with 2,670 homes and one office building.

The following tables present the rental and other property revenues, property operating expenses, proportionate property net operating income, and income before income tax benefit (expense) of our segments on a proportionate basis, excluding amounts related to communities sold or held for sale and our proportionate share of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a $8.20 special dividend in the form of cash and stock. The special dividend includes the next two quarterly cash dividends, or $0.82 per share in the aggregate, accelerating the payment of the regular dividend expected in February of 2021. Additionally, shareholders in the aggregate will receive $7.38 per share in stock. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on the close of business on November 4, 2020, with shareholders having the opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the form of all stock or prorated cash and stock, and will be paid on November 30, 2020, after trading hours. The number of shares distributed in the special dividend will be determined by the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our shares during the 10-trading day period ending on November 24, 2020.

In order to neutralize the dilutive impact of the stock issued in the special dividend, our Board also authorized a reverse stock split, effective on November 30, 2020, immediately following the special dividend. As a result, total shares outstanding following completion of both the special dividend and the reverse stock split are expected to be unchanged from the total shares outstanding immediately prior to the dividend. Some stockholders may have more shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections. The reverse split will ensure comparability of per share results before and after these transactions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding: the separation of Aimco into two entities (“the Separate Entities”), including our portfolio composition and relationship between the Separate Entities following the separation and the anticipated timing, structure and costs and benefits of the separation; the payment of dividends and distributions in the future; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on our ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rate and property operating results; the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, redevelopments, and developments; our ability to meet budgeted costs and timelines, and achieve budgeted rental rates related to our redevelopment and development investments; expectations regarding sales of our apartment communities and the use of proceeds thereof; the availability and cost of corporate debt; and our ability to comply with debt covenants, including financial coverage ratios.

These forward-looking statements are based on management’s judgment as of this date, which is subject to risks and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to: whether or not Aimco completes the separation on the anticipated terms, timeline, or at all; the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Aimco’s business and on the global and U.S. economies generally, and the ongoing, dynamic and uncertain nature and duration of the pandemic, all of which heightens the impact of the other risks and factors described herein, and the impact on entities in which Aimco holds a partial interest, including its interest in the partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments, and the impact of the lockdown on Aimco’s residents, commercial tenants, and operations; real estate and operating risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in the markets in which we operate and competition for residents in such markets; national and local economic conditions, including the pace of job growth and the level of unemployment; the amount, location and quality of competitive new housing supply; the timing and effects of acquisitions, dispositions, redevelopments and developments; changes in operating costs, including energy costs; negative economic conditions in our geographies of operation; loss of key personnel; ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy, rental rate and property operating results; ability to meet budgeted costs and timelines, and, if applicable, achieve budgeted rental rates related to redevelopment and development investments; expectations regarding sales of apartment communities and the use of proceeds thereof; the ability to successfully operate as two separate companies each with more narrowed focus; insurance risks, including the cost of insurance, and natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; financing risks, including the availability and cost of financing; the risk that cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; the risk that earnings may not be sufficient to maintain compliance with debt covenants, including financial coverage ratios; legal and regulatory risks, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; the terms of laws and governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those laws and regulations; possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of apartment communities presently or previously owned by Aimco; the relationship between the Separate Entities after the consummation of the separation; the ability and willingness of the Separate Entities and their subsidiaries to meet and/or perform their obligations under any contractual arrangements that are entered into among the parties in connection with the separation and any of their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities; and the ability to achieve some or all the benefits that we expect to achieve from the business separation; and such other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in filings by Aimco or the Separate Entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.

Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this report. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Readers should also carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in Item 1A of Apartment Investment and Management Company’s and AIMCO Properties, L.P.’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should also carefully review the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statements relating to the business separation, which are expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

As used herein and except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Apartment Investment and Management Company (which we refer to as Aimco), AIMCO Properties, L.P. (which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership) and their consolidated entities, collectively.

Certain financial and operating measures found herein and used by management are not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These measures are defined and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures under the Non-GAAP Measures heading and include: Nareit Funds from Operations, Pro forma Funds from Operations, Adjusted Funds from Operations, Free Cash Flow, Net Asset Value, Economic Income, and the measures used to compute our leverage ratios.

Executive Overview

We are focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment, and some development of quality apartment communities located in several of the largest markets in the United States.

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our equity holders. We measure our long-term total return using Economic Income, defined as changes in the per share Net Asset Value, or NAV, growth plus dividends. NAV is used by many investors because the value of company assets can be readily estimated, even for non-earning assets such as land or properties under development. NAV has the advantage of incorporating the investment decisions of thousands of real estate investors, enhancing comparability among companies that have differences in their accounting and avoiding disparity that can result from application of GAAP to investment properties and various ownership structures. NAV also provides real estate investors a basis for the perceived quality and predictability of future cash flows as well as their expected growth. Some investors focus on multiples of Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, and Funds from Operations as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit FFO. Our disclosure of AFFO, a measure of current return, complements our focus on Economic Income. We also use Pro forma FFO as a secondary measure of operational performance.

Our Economic Income is the result of performance in five key business areas:

• increase revenue based on high levels of resident retention, through superior customer selection and satisfaction, coupled with innovation resulting in sustained cost control, to further improve net operating income margins;

• create value and future earnings growth by the renovation and repositioning of apartment communities through short-cycle and long-cycle redevelopments;

• own an apartment portfolio diversified by geography and price point with a focus on properties with high land value located in submarkets with outsized future growth prospects, and diversify the portfolio by maintaining allocation to both “income” properties (high quality properties with predictable, “low beta” AFFO returns, usually with B or C+ rents) where we expect appreciation of the substantial land value will create opportunities for “high alpha” value creation through profitable redevelopment;

• primarily utilize safe property debt that is low-cost, long-dated, amortizing, and non-recourse, limiting entity and refunding risk while maintaining flexibility to sell or redevelop properties; and

• emphasize an intentional culture that is collaborative and productive, based on respect for others and personal responsibility, strengthened by a preference for promotion from within and explicit talent development and succession planning to produce the strong, stable team that is the enduring foundation of our success.

Over our first 25 years as a public company, our Economic Income compounded at an annual rate of 14%.

On September 14, 2020, we announced a Board-led plan, informed by active and regular engagement with shareholders, to reduce financial risk and execution risk, and to increase FFO per share by division of the business between two public entities. The first with 90% of our estimated fair value will be known as Apartment Income REIT or “AIR”. It will own only stabilized apartment communities, eliminating vacancy loss during redevelopment and allowing substantial reduction in execution risk and offsite costs. The second entity with 10% of our estimated fair value will be known as Aimco, or sometimes for clarity, as “new” Aimco. It expects to hold the non-traditional assets, such as the Parkmerced loan and the Brickell land assembly. New Aimco will continue and seek to grow the development and redevelopment business, including collaboration with IQHQ on multifamily opportunities, and it will complete the redevelopment projects now underway or about to be started. After a defined transition period, the two businesses will be wholly separate. From the start, each will have separate boards of directors and separate management teams. The separation has been structured to refresh the tax basis of the properties to be held by AIR, eliminating or reducing the need for future stock dividends. Shareholders will own the same assets before and after the separation transaction but will gain the opportunity to make individual allocations between the two businesses.

Impacts of COVID-19 and Governmental Lockdown

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental lockdown continued into the third quarter of 2020. As discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, we formed a cross-functional committee that meets weekly to adjust to the changing conditions in order to keep our team and our residents safe. We continued our commitment to employees by allowing flexible work arrangements, undertook to pay all costs associated with COVID-19 testing and treatment, kept our team intact without layoffs or pay cuts, and continued clear and frequent communication. Utilizing our previous investment in technology and artificial intelligence, paired with policies providing flexibility, our team continued to lease apartments and fulfill service requests in a safe environment for both the team and our residents.

27

Our top priority is the health and safety of our residents and teammates. Accordingly, we implemented enhanced cleaning procedures as well as physical distancing and remote working guidelines at our communities and corporate offices. Additionally, seeing residents as individuals, each impacted differently by the pandemic and lockdown, our teammates have undertaken to speak to every resident in need, to listen, and to help each to solve his or her problems. We also seek to assist the communities where our residents and employees live and work.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we estimate that, in addition to decreased occupancy and lower rental rates, we incurred $9.5 million and $22.6 million of incremental costs, respectively. The table below provides additional detail (in millions, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2020				September 30, 2020
Incremental bad debt expense	$	3.7	$	0.02	$	6.2	$	0.04

Residential Rent Collection Update

In response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental lockdown, most jurisdictions where our communities are located have enacted protections for residents and commercial tenants, including government-mandated rent deferrals, rent freezes, repayment extensions, fee abatement measures or concessions, and prohibitions on lease terminations or evictions for tenants. Some states and municipalities are also implementing rental assistance programs and encouraging landlord-tenant negotiations.

We measure residential rent collection as the amount of payments received as a percentage of all residential amounts owed. The table below represents the percentage of residential billed amounts for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

	Three months ended						2020
	June 30, 2020			September 30, 2020			July			August			September
Payments received during the period		95.3	%		95.6	%		95.8	%		95.3	%		95.7	%
Payments received after period close		2.4	%		1.1	%		1.5	%		1.2	%		0.7	%
Total payments received as of    October 23, 2020		97.7	%		96.7	%		97.3	%		96.5	%		96.4	%

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized 98.1% of all residential revenue, treating the balance of 1.9% as bad debt. Of the 98.1% of residential revenue recognized, we collected in cash all but 140 basis points. The amounts uncollected and not reserved as bad debt include balances collateralized by security deposits, of approximately 60 basis points, and those considered collectable based on our review of individual customers’ credit, of approximately 80 basis points, or $1.6 million.

Of the 190 basis points of bad debt the majority, or approximately 130 basis points, is attributed to residents who have not paid April and subsequent rents. Prior to the enactment of restrictive city ordinances and closed court houses, these residents would have paid rent or faced eviction in ordinary course. The remaining amount, approximately 60 basis points, is attributed to non-payment of rent and other charges as might be expected in a difficult economy. The bad debt associated with this latter category started to slow in August and has declined in each subsequent month. Looking forward, we expect the decline to continue until reaching a more normal level of approximately 30 basis points in 2021. We also expect the emergency ordinances that allow residents to live rent free to unwind providing the opportunity to re-rent these apartments to rent-paying residents.

October rent collections have been consistent with September collections at the same day of the month.

28

Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

The results from the execution of our business plan during the three months ended September 30, 2020, are further described below.

Operations

We own and operate a portfolio of apartment communities, diversified by both geography and price point. As of September 30, 2020, our portfolio included 126 apartment communities with 33,209 apartment homes in which we held an average ownership of approximately 95%.

Aimco’s Same Store portfolio includes 93 apartment communities with 27,610 apartment homes. Same Store highlights for the third quarter include:

• Average revenue per home decreased approximately 200 basis points year-over-year due to an approximate 30 basis point year-over-year decrease in rental rates;

• Average daily occupancy of 93.9%, a year-over-year decline of approximately 280 basis points due primarily to reduced demand resulting from COVID-19 and the governmental lockdown; and

• Elevated bad debt expense, resulting in a 140-basis point decline to same-store revenues, due primarily to COVID-19 and the governmental lockdown.

Aimco’s third quarter Same Store revenue declined 5%. Our portfolio is intentionally diversified by geography and price point, it is also diversified with a mix of urban and suburban communities. Revenue growth for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, differed significantly based on geography and the density of the area surrounding the community.

Suburban properties include 19,083 units, or approximately 70% of our Same Store portfolio. In these communities ADO was 95.7%, turnover was 39.6%, blended rates were near flat, and residential net rental income was up 0.6%.

Urban markets include 8,527 units of our Same Store portfolio. In these communities ADO was 89.5%, turnover was 47.0%, blended rates were down 6.7%, and residential net rental income was down 7.1%.

Specifically, in Center City and University City Philadelphia, our communities have faced a sharp decline in demand from local universities announcing virtual learning for the fall semester; fewer workers in downtown office buildings, including both Comcast towers, due to work from home policies; and disruption to leasing activity from social unrest.

In Mid-Wilshire and West Los Angeles, bad debt has been elevated due to local regulations which have the effect of permitting residents to live rent-free. Demand from the recovering entertainment industry is returning and leasing pace was up 44% year-over-year in the third quarter.

On the San Francisco Peninsula in Northern California, work from home policies at major tech companies disrupted demand in San Mateo and Redwood City. The Pacifica neighborhood was impacted but has stabilized and our communities in San Jose, Marin County, and the East Bay have performed well.

Our focus on efficient operations through productivity initiatives such as centralization of administrative tasks, optimization of economies of scale at the corporate level, and increased automation has helped us control operating expenses. These and other innovations contributed to a growth rate in Same Store controllable operating expense, which we define as property expenses less taxes, insurance, and utility expenses, compounding for the 12 years ended December 31, 2019, at an annual rate of negative 0.2%. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Same Store controllable operating expenses for the portfolio increased 0.3% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Redevelopment and Development

Our second line of business is the redevelopment and some development of apartment communities. Through redevelopment activities, we expect to create value by repositioning communities within our portfolio. We undertake ground-up development when warranted by risk-adjusted investment returns, either directly or in connection with the redevelopment of an existing apartment community. When warranted, we rely on the expertise and credit of a third-party developer familiar with the local market to limit our exposure to construction risk. We invest to earn risk-adjusted returns in excess of those expected from the apartment communities sold in “paired trades” to fund the redevelopment or development. Of these two activities, we generally favor redevelopment because it permits adjustment of the scope and timing of spending to align with changing market conditions and customer preferences.

29

We execute redevelopments using a range of approaches. We prefer to limit risk by executing redevelopments using a short-cycle approach, in which we renovate an apartment community in stages. These short-cycle redevelopments can be completed one apartment home at a time, when that home is vacated and available for renovation, or one floor at a time, thereby limiting the number of down homes and lease-up risk. As a result, short-cycle redevelopments provide us the flexibility to maintain current earnings while aligning the timing of the completed apartment homes with market demand. When short-cycle redevelopments are not possible, we may engage in redevelopment activities where an entire building or community is vacated. We refer to these as long-cycle redevelopments. Redevelopment work may include seeking entitlements from local governments, which enhance the value of our existing portfolio by increasing density; that is, the right to add apartment homes to a site.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we invested $56.7 million in redevelopment and development. We continued five long-cycle redevelopment and development projects already under construction, including the full redevelopment of the North Tower at Flamingo Point and 707 Leahy; and ground-up construction at The Fremont on the Anschutz Medical Campus; Eldridge Townhomes; and Prism. Our estimated cost to complete these projects is $109.9 million, an amount readily funded from our liquidity.

We have continued construction on two resumed short-cycle redevelopments at Bay Parc and the Center Tower at Flamingo Point. Our estimated cost to complete these projects is $9.6 million.

The following table summarizes our significant redevelopment and development communities as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in millions):

(5) As of October 28, 2020, construction is complete and we have leased 57 out of 58 homes.

(6) As of October 28, 2020, just over 100 apartment homes have been delivered and 82% have been leased. Completion of this community is expected in the fourth quarter 2020.

(7) Construction is complete and, as of October 28, 2020, we have leased 97% of the apartment homes at rents consistent with underwriting.

(8) Completion of this community is expected in the first quarter of 2021.

As of September 30, 2020, our total estimated net investment at redevelopment and development communities is $561.1 million, of which we have funded $440.8 million. We expect to fund the remaining estimated net investment of $120.3 million on these communities in 2020 and future years, on a leverage-neutral basis, with proceeds from sales of apartment communities with lower forecasted free cash flow, or FCF, internal rates of return.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we leased 144 redeveloped or newly developed apartment homes. As of September 30, 2020, our exposure to lease-up at long-cycle redevelopment and development communities was 684 apartment homes; 36 homes where construction is complete, 171 homes expected to be completed before year-end, and 477 homes expected to be delivered in 2021.

Portfolio Management and Capital Allocation

Our portfolio of apartment communities is diversified across “A,” “B,” and “C+” price points, averaging “B/B+” in quality, and is also diversified across several of the largest markets in the United States. We measure the quality of apartment

30

communities in our portfolio based on average rents of our apartment homes compared to local market average rents as reported by a third-party provider of commercial real estate performance data and analysis. Under this rating system, we classify as “A” quality apartment communities those earning rents greater than 125% of local market average; as “B” quality apartment communities those earning rents between 90% and 125% of local market average; as “C+” quality apartment communities those earning rents greater than $1,100 per month, but lower than 90% of local market average; and as “C” quality apartment communities those earning rents less than $1,100 per month and lower than 90% of local market average. We classify as “B/B+” quality a portfolio that on average earns rents between 100% and 125% of local market average rents. Although some companies and analysts within the multifamily real estate industry use apartment community quality ratings of “A,” “B,” and “C,” some of which are tied to local market rent averages, the metrics used to classify apartment community quality as well as the period for which local market rents are calculated may vary from company to company. Accordingly, our rating system for measuring apartment community quality is neither broadly nor consistently used in the multifamily real estate industry.

The following table summarizes information about our portfolio relative to the market for the three months ended September 30, 2020:

Average revenue per Aimco apartment home (1)	$	2,212
Portfolio average rents as a percentage of local market average rents		112	%
Percentage A (average revenue per Aimco apartment home $2,872)		53	%
Percentage B (average revenue per Aimco apartment home $1,951)		29	%
Percentage C+ (average revenue per Aimco apartment home $1,771)		18	%

(1) Represents average monthly rental and other property revenues (excluding resident reimbursement of utility cost) divided by the number of occupied apartment homes as of the end of the period.

Our average monthly revenue per apartment home was $2,212 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, representing a decrease of approximately 2% compared to the same period in 2019.

We follow a disciplined paired trade policy in making investments. As part of our portfolio strategy, we seek to sell up to 10% of our portfolio annually and to reinvest the proceeds from such sales in accretive uses such as capital enhancements, redevelopments, some developments, and selective acquisitions with projected FCF internal rates of return higher than expected from the communities being sold. We prefer well-located real estate where land is a significant percentage of total value and provides potential upside from development or redevelopment. Through this disciplined approach to capital recycling, we increase the quality and expected growth rate of our portfolio.

As we execute our portfolio strategy, we expect to increase average revenue per Aimco apartment home at a rate greater than market rent growth, increase FCF margins, and maintain sufficient geographic and price point diversification to limit volatility and concentration risk.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired for $89.6 million Hamilton on the Bay, located in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. The acquisition includes a 271-apartment home community located on the waterfront, approximately one mile north of our Bay Parc apartments, plus an adjacent development site. Current zoning allows for the construction of more than 380 additional apartment homes on the combined sites. We are now in planning to invest as much as $50 million in a substantial renovation of the existing building.

We continue to search for accretive acquisitions, including development opportunities.

Dispositions

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we sold no apartment communities. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we received a non-refundable deposit securing a contract to purchase an apartment community, which is expected to be sold later in the fourth quarter at a price of approximately $126 million, 3% better than its estimated gross asset value at December 31, 2019. Proceeds from this transaction are expected to be used to reduce leverage. As of September 30, 2020, we classified the apartment community as held for sale.

Joint Venture Transaction

On September 8, 2020, we formed a joint venture with a passive institutional investor to own a portfolio of 12 multi-family communities with 4,051 apartment homes located in California. The communities were valued at $2.4 billion, or approximately $592,000 per unit, equivalent to an implied NOI cap rate of approximately 4.2%. The valuation is equal to 97% of our pre-COVID-19 valuation of the communities and confirms our previously published NAV. The joint venture has existing property

31

debt of $1.22 billion and an implied equity value of $1.18 billion. In exchange for a 39% interest subject to $475 million of property debt, we received $461 million. We retain ownership of 61% of the joint venture and will control and operate the communities in exchange for property and asset management fees.

Life Science Developer Investment

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we made a $50 million commitment to IQHQ, a privately-held life-sciences real estate development company. In addition, we gained the right to collaborate with IQHQ on any multifamily component at its future development sites.

Balance Sheet

Leverage

We seek to increase financial returns by using leverage with appropriate caution. We limit risk through our balance sheet structure, employing low leverage, primarily non-recourse and long-dated property debt; build financial flexibility by maintaining ample unused and available credit; holding properties with substantial value unencumbered by property debt; maintaining an investment grade rating; and using partners’ capital when it enhances financial returns or reduces investment risk.

Our leverage includes our share of long-term, non-recourse, property debt encumbering apartment communities, outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility, our term loan, and other leverage. Please refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for additional information regarding our leverage. Other leverage includes mezzanine equity instruments, including preferred OP Units and redeemable noncontrolling interests in a consolidated real estate partnership.

Our target leverage ratios are Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre below 7.0x and Adjusted EBITDAre to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Distributions greater than 2.5x. We calculate Adjusted EBITDAre and Adjusted Interest Expense used in our leverage ratios based on the most recent three-month amounts, annualized, and trailing twelve months. Our leverage ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, are presented below:

	Annualized Current Quarter	Trailing Twelve Months
Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre	7.2x	6.8x
Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre	7.4x	7.0x
Adjusted EBITDAre to Adjusted Interest Expense	3.1x	3.4x
Adjusted EBITDAre to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Distributions	3.0x	3.2x

Under our revolving credit facility and term loan, we have agreed to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.40x, as well as other covenants customary for similar revolving credit arrangements. For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.93x. We expect to remain in compliance with these covenants.

Please refer to the Leverage Ratios subsection of the Non-GAAP Measures section for further information about the calculation of our leverage ratios.

Liquidity

Our $1.0 billion liquidity consists of cash and restricted cash balances and available capacity on our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2020, we had cash and restricted cash, excluding amounts related to tenant security deposits, of $255.5 million and had the capacity to borrow up to $793.4 million on our revolving credit facility, after consideration of $6.6 million of letters of credit backed by the facility.

We manage our financial flexibility by maintaining an investment grade rating and holding apartment communities that are unencumbered by property debt. As of September 30, 2020, we held unencumbered communities with an estimated fair value of approximately $3.6 billion.

Financing Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we prepaid $405 million of property debt using proceeds from our joint venture, incurring $7.8 million in prepayment penalties that have been excluded from Pro forma FFO. The loans had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.3%, lowering our weighted-average cost of leverage by 15 basis points. The prepayment of property debt lowers our interest expense such that the costs associated with the prepayment will be recovered in the first quarter of 2021. We have no remaining debt maturities in 2020.

32

Equity Capital Activities

2020 property sales, including the California Joint Venture, generated taxable gains in excess of our regular quarterly dividend. On October 21, 2020 our Board of Directors declared a $8.20 special dividend in the form of cash and stock.

The special dividend includes the next two quarterly cash dividends, or $0.82 per share in the aggregate, accelerating the payment of the regular dividend expected in February of 2021. Additionally, shareholders in the aggregate will receive $7.38 per share in stock.

The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on the close of business on November 4, 2020, with shareholders having the opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the form of all stock or prorated cash and stock, and will be paid on November 30, 2020, after trading hours. The number of shares distributed in the special dividend will be determined by the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Aimco shares during the 10-trading day period ending on November 24, 2020.

In order to neutralize the dilutive impact of the stock issued in the special dividend, our Board also authorized a reverse stock split, effective on November 30, 2020, immediately following the special dividend. As a result, total shares outstanding following completion of both the special dividend and the reverse stock split are expected to be unchanged from the total shares outstanding immediately prior to the dividend. Some stockholders may have more shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections. The reverse split will ensure comparability of per share results before and after these transactions.

Team and Culture

Our team and culture are keys to our success. Our intentional focus on a collaborative and productive culture based on respect for others and personal responsibility is reinforced by a preference for promotion from within. We focus on succession planning and talent development to produce a strong, stable team that is the enduring foundation of our success. We offer benefits reinforcing our value of caring for each other, including paid time for parental leave, paid time annually to volunteer in local communities, college scholarships for the children of team members, an emergency fund to help team members in crisis, financial support for our team members who are becoming United States citizens, and a bonus structure at all levels of the organization. We also pay full compensation and benefits for team members who are actively deployed by the United States military. Out of hundreds of participating companies in 2020, we were one of only six recognized as a “Top Workplace” in Colorado for each of the past eight years, and were one of only two real estate companies to receive a BEST award from the Association for Talent Development in recognition of our company-wide success in talent development, marking our third consecutive year receiving this award.

Results of Operations

Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our apartment communities, the supply of and demand for apartments influences our operating results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our apartment communities and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire, and dispose of our apartment communities affect our operating results.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1.

Financial Highlights

Net income attributable to common stockholders per common share, on a dilutive basis, decreased by $0.18 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, due primarily to increased prepayment penalties incurred due to third quarter 2020 payoff activity and higher other expenses due to costs incurred on the previously announced planned separation of our development activities.

Pro forma FFO per share decreased $0.03, or 5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019. Increased income from the Parkmerced mezzanine loan and lower offsite costs was more than offset by lower occupancy and COVID-19 related impacts.

Further details regarding our response to COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on Pro Forma FFO, and the related governmental lockdown, is discussed in the Executive Overview section above.

Detailed Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020, Compared to September 30, 2019

Net income decreased by $28.8 million and $337.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, respectively, as described more fully below.

Property Operations

We have three segments: (i) Same Store, (ii) Redevelopment and Development, and (iii) Acquisition and Other Real Estate. Our Same Store segment includes communities that have reached a stabilized level of operations as of the beginning of a two-year comparable period and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior year and are not expected to be sold within 12 months. Our Redevelopment and Development segment includes communities that are currently under construction, and those that have been completed in recent years that have not achieved and maintained stabilized operations for both the current and comparable prior year. Our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment includes: (i) communities that we have acquired since the beginning of a two-year comparable period; (ii) communities that are subject to limitations on rent increases; (iii) communities that we expect to sell within 12 months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (iv) communities that we expect to redevelop; and (v) certain commercial spaces.

As of September 30, 2020, our Same Store segment included 93 apartment communities with 27,610 apartment homes.

From December 31, 2019, to September 30, 2020, on a net basis, our Same Store segment increased by two apartment communities and 961 apartment homes. These changes consisted of:

• the addition of one redeveloped apartment community with 940 apartment homes that was classified as Same Store upon maintaining stabilized operation for the entirety of the periods presented;

• the addition of six acquired apartment communities with 1,480 apartment homes that were classified as Same Store because we have now owned them for the entirety of both periods presented;

• the reduction of three apartment communities with 974 apartment homes that we have classified in Acquisition and Other Real Estate, as we are planning to redevelop these communities; and

• the reduction of one apartment community with 219 apartment homes that was sold as of September 30, 2020; and

• the reduction of one apartment community with 266 apartment homes due to it being classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020, our Redevelopment and Development segment included eight apartment communities with 2,521 apartment homes, and our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment included 20 apartment communities with 2,670 apartment homes and one office building.

We use proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues, excluding utility reimbursements, less direct property operating expenses, net of utility reimbursements, for consolidated communities. Accordingly, the results of operations of our segments discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis and exclude the results of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we do not consolidate. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we formed a joint venture with a passive institutional investor to own a portfolio of 12 multi-family communities in California. We have presented, in addition to the actual historical changes in results of operations of our segments, the results as if the California joint venture had closed at the beginning of the earliest period presented.  

We do not include offsite costs associated with property management, casualty gains or losses, or the results of apartment communities sold or held for sale, reported in consolidated amounts, in our assessment of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not allocated to our segment results discussed below.

Please refer to Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further discussion regarding our segments, including a reconciliation of these proportionate amounts to consolidated rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses.

(1) Reflects the change for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as if the California joint venture had closed on July 1, 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, after giving effect to the sale of partial interest in certain Same Store communities in the California joint venture, our Same Store proportionate property net operating income decreased by $7.7 million, or 6.3%. This decrease was attributable primarily to a $8.3 million, or 4.9%, decrease in rental and other property revenues due to an approximately 280 basis point decrease in average daily occupancy, a $2.4 million, or 140 basis point, increase in bad debt, and $0.5 million, or 20 basis point, reduction in other rental income due to local restrictions on our contractual right to charge late fees. The decrease in proportionate property net operating income was offset partially by a 30 basis point increase in residential rents and lower Same Store property operating expenses of $0.6 million. The change in Same Store property operating expenses were driven by a decrease in insurance and real estate taxes.

Redevelopment and Development proportionate property net operating income was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019.

Acquisition and Other Real Estate proportionate property net operating income decreased by $1.6 million, or 13.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, due primarily to a decrease in revenues related to commercial tenants due primarily to the economic impacts of COVID-19 and the governmental lockdown, offset partially by the lease-up of One Ardmore acquired in April 2019.

The results of our segments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as presented below, are based on segment classifications as of September 30, 2020.

35

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, after giving effect to the sale of partial interest in certain Same Store communities in the California joint venture, our Same Store proportionate property net operating income decreased by $3.1 million, or 0.9%. This decrease was attributable primarily to a $4.0 million, or 0.8%, decrease in rental and other property revenues due primarily to a 110 basis point decrease in average daily occupancy, a $4.3 million, or 90 basis point, increase in bad debt, and a $1.2 million, or 20 basis point, reduction in other rental income due to local restrictions on our contractual right to charge late fees, offset partially by a 180 basis point increase in residential rents. This decrease in proportionate property net operating income was offset partially by lower Same Store property operating expenses of $0.9 million. The change in Same Store property operating expenses were driven by a $2.2 million, or 3.2%, decrease in controllable operating expenses, offset partially by an increase in real estate taxes and insurance.

Redevelopment and Development proportionate property net operating income was relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019.

Acquisition and Other Real Estate proportionate property net operating income increased by $4.0 million, or 13.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, due primarily to the lease-up of One Ardmore acquired in April 2019 and the acquisition of 1001 Brickell Bay Drive in July 2019, offset partially by a decrease in revenues related to commercial tenants due primarily to the economic impacts of COVID-19 and governmental lockdown.

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations

Operating income amounts not attributed to our segments include offsite costs associated with property management, casualty losses, write-off of straight-line rent receivables, and the results of apartment communities sold or held for sale, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $2.9 million of write-offs of straight-line rent receivables due to the impact of COVID-19 and governmental lockdown, and the resulting economic impact on our commercial tenants. No similar write-off was recognized in 2019.

Net operating income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, by $3.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, due to the sale of apartment communities in 2020 and 2019.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, depreciation and amortization expense was relatively flat.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or 23.4%, and $4.0 million, or 12.5%, respectively, due primarily to lower incentive compensation.

Investment Management Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, investment management expenses increased $1.2 million, or 78.3%, due primarily to costs related to the California joint venture. Investment management expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, were relatively flat.

Other Expenses, Net

Other expenses, net, includes costs associated with our risk management activities, partnership administration expenses, ground lease rent expense, and certain non-recurring items.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, other expenses, net, increased by $13.6 million, or 339.1% due primarily to costs associated with the previously announced business separation and unrealized losses on our interest rate derivative, offset partially by restructuring costs incurred in 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, other expenses, net increased by $10.7 million, or 83.8%, due primarily to costs associated with the previously announced business separation and unrealized losses on our interest rate derivative, offset partially by restructuring costs incurred in 2019, a favorable incremental cash receipt in the first quarter of 2020 related to a previous settlement, and lower ground lease expense.

36

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, was relatively flat.

Interest income for nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, increased $1.8 million, or 20.8%, due primarily to a gain recognized on the early payoff of a seller financing note.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, interest expense increased by $8.5 million, or 20.3%, due primarily to $7.9 million of prepayment penalties incurred as a result of our refinancing activity and an increase in interest expense related to our term loan and higher non-recourse property debt, offset partially by lower interest expense on our revolving credit facility.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, interest expense increased by $17.7 million, or 14.4%, due primarily to refinancing activity and interest expense related to our term loan, offset partially by an increase in capitalized interest related to our active redevelopments and developments. As a result of our refinancing activity, we incurred $14.5 million of prepayment penalties, offset partially by more favorable interest rates on refinanced fixed rate debt.

Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold no apartment communities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold one apartment community with 219 apartment homes for a gain on disposition of $47.2 million and net proceeds of $36.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold eight apartment communities with 2,605 apartment homes for a gain on dispositions of $356.9 million and net proceeds of $418.3 million.

The apartment communities sold were in a lower-rated locations within our primary markets and had average revenues per apartment home significantly below those of our retained portfolio.

Mezzanine Investment Income, Net

On November 26, 2019, we loaned $275.0 million to the partnership owning Parkmerced Apartments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $6.9 million and $20.6 million, respectively, of income in connection with the mezzanine loan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we have received a cash payment of $0.6 million.

We have accrued all interest amounts due as required by GAAP. Our loan is secured by approximately $300 million of borrower equity. In the event we determine that a portion of the loan or accrued interest is not collectable, we will cease income recognition and, if appropriate, recognize an impairment.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Certain of our operations, including property management and risk management, are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS entities. Additionally, some of our apartment communities and 1001 Brickell Bay Drive are owned through TRS entities.

Our income tax benefit calculated in accordance with GAAP includes: (a) income taxes associated with the income or loss of our TRS entities including tax on gains on dispositions, for which the tax consequences have been realized or will be realized in future periods; (b) low income housing tax credits generated prior to the sale of our Asset Management business that offset REIT taxable income, primarily from retained capital gains; and (c) historic tax credits that offset income tax obligations of our TRS entities. Income taxes related to these items, as well as changes in valuation allowance and the establishment of incremental deferred tax items in conjunction with intercompany asset transfers (if applicable), are included in income tax benefit in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized income tax benefit of $1.7 million, compared to $3.1 million during the same period in 2019. The change is due primarily to income tax benefit associated with 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, offset partially by an increase in state tax expense and decreased benefit due to lower net operating losses at communities held by TRS entities.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized income tax benefit of $7.9 million, compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2019. The change is due primarily to income tax provision on the gain on dispositions of real

37

estate in 2019 and an income tax benefit associated with 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, offset partially by an increase in state tax expense.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the critical accounting policies that involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the impairment of long-lived assets and capitalized costs.

Our critical accounting policies are described in more detail in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our Form 10-K and we believe that the related judgments and assessments have been consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly depicts the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain key financial indicators we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are non-GAAP measures. Key non-GAAP measures we use are defined and described below, and for those non-GAAP measures used or disclosed within this quarterly report, we provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP.

We measure our long-term total return using Economic Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Economic Income represents stockholder value creation as measured by the per share change in estimated NAV plus cash dividends. We believe Economic Income is important to investors as it represents a measure of total return earned by our stockholders. We report and reconcile Economic Income annually. Please refer to the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for more information about Economic Income.

Free Cash Flow, as calculated for our retained portfolio, represents property net operating income, less spending for Capital Replacements, which represents our estimation of the capital additions made to replace capital assets consumed during our ownership period (further discussed under the Nareit Funds From Operations, Pro forma Funds From Operations, and Adjusted Funds From Operations heading and the Liquidity and Capital Resources heading). FCF margin as calculated for apartment communities sold represents the sold apartment community’s net operating income less $1,200 per apartment home of assumed annual capital replacement spending, as a percentage of the apartment community’s rental and other property revenues. Capital replacement spending represents a measure of capital asset usage during the period; therefore, we believe that FCF is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of apartment community performance because it takes into consideration costs incurred during the period to replace capital assets that have been consumed during our ownership.

Nareit Funds From Operations, Pro forma Funds From Operations, and Adjusted Funds From Operations

Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers, or other personal property. Nareit defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: depreciation and amortization related to real estate; gains and losses from sales and impairment of depreciable assets and land used in our primary business; and income taxes directly associated with a gain or loss on the sale of real estate, and including our share of the FFO of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine Nareit FFO. We calculate Nareit FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted) by subtracting amounts allocated from Nareit FFO to participating securities.

In addition to Nareit FFO, we compute Pro forma FFO and AFFO, which are also non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful to investors in understanding our short-term performance. Pro forma FFO represents Nareit FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted), excluding certain amounts that are unique or occur infrequently.

38

In computing 2020 Pro forma FFO, we made the following adjustments to Nareit FFO:

• Separation costs: we incurred costs in connection with the separation of our development platform. We excluded these costs from Pro forma FFO because we believe they are not representative of ongoing operating performance.

• Transaction costs: we incurred certain transaction costs related to the California joint venture and other new business pursuits. We excluded these costs from Pro forma FFO because we believe they are not representative of ongoing operating performance.

• Prepayment penalties: as a result of debt refinancing activity, we incurred debt extinguishment costs, net of income tax effect. We excluded these costs from Pro forma FFO because we believe these costs are not representative of ongoing operating performance.

• Straight-line rent: in 2018, we assumed a 99-year ground lease with scheduled rent increases. Due to the terms of the lease, GAAP rent expense will exceed cash rent payments until 2076. We include the cash rent payments for this ground lease in Pro forma FFO but exclude the incremental straight-line non-cash rent expense. We include the rent expense for this lease in other expenses, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

• Severance costs, litigation, and other, net: during the three months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred an unrealized loss on a derivative agreement and other non-recurring costs. We excluded these costs from Pro Forma FFO because we believe they are not representative of current operating performance. These costs are included in other expenses, net, on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In computing 2019 Pro forma FFO, we made the following adjustments to Nareit FFO:

• Preferred equity redemption related costs: on May 16, 2019, we redeemed our Class A Preferred Perpetual Stock. We excluded the redemption-related costs from Pro forma FFO because we believe these costs are not representative of operating performance.

• Prepayment penalties: as described above.

• Straight-line rent: as described above.

• Severance costs, litigation, and other, net: in 2019, we incurred severance and restructuring costs, costs related to our litigation with Airbnb, and other non-recurring costs. We excluded these amounts from Pro forma FFO because we believe these costs are not representative of operating performance. These costs are included in other expenses, net, on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

AFFO represents Pro forma FFO reduced by Capital Replacements, which represent our estimation of the actual capital additions made to replace capital assets consumed during our ownership period. When we make capital additions at an apartment community, we evaluate whether the additions extend the useful life of an asset as compared to its condition at the time we purchased the apartment community. We classify as Capital Improvements those capital additions that meet this criterion, and we classify as Capital Replacements those that do not. AFFO is a key financial indicator we use to evaluate our short-term operational performance and is one of the factors that we use to determine the amounts of our dividend payments.

Nareit FFO, Pro forma FFO, and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance. Although we use these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing our performance compared to other REITs, not all REITs compute these same measures and those who do may not compute them in the same manner. Additionally, computation of AFFO is subject to our definition of Capital Replacement spending. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Aimco’s Nareit FFO, Pro forma FFO, and AFFO are calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

(1) Represents the numerator for calculating Aimco’s earnings per common share in accordance with GAAP.

(2) Represents the denominator for Aimco’s earnings per common share – diluted, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(3) During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we completed a reverse stock split and a special dividend paid primarily in stock. For stock splits, GAAP requires the restatement of weighted average shares as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the period presented; while shares issued in the special dividend are included in weighted average shares outstanding from the date issued. To minimize confusion and facilitate comparison of period-over-period Pro forma FFO and AFFO, we calculated pro forma weighted average shares for 2019 based on the effective date of the reverse stock split and ex-dividend date for the shares issued in the special dividend, thereby eliminating the per-share impact of the GAAP treatment to Aimco’s reported Pro forma FFO and AFFO.

Please refer to Financial Highlights above for discussion of the factors affecting our Pro forma FFO and AFFO growth for 2020, as compared to 2019.

The Aimco Operating Partnership does not separately compute or report Nareit FFO, Pro forma FFO, or AFFO. However, based on Aimco’s method for allocation of such amounts to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership, as well as limited differences between the amounts of net income attributable to Aimco’s common stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s unit holders during the periods presented, Nareit FFO, Pro forma FFO, and AFFO amounts on a per unit basis for the Aimco Operating Partnership would be substantially the same as the corresponding per share amounts for Aimco.

Leverage Ratios

As discussed under the Balance Sheet heading, our leverage strategy targets the ratio of Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre to be below 7.0x and the ratio of Adjusted EBITDAre to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Distributions to be greater than 2.5x. We believe these ratios, which are based in part on non-GAAP financial information, are commonly used by investors and analysts to assess the relative financial risk associated with companies within the same industry, and they are believed to be similar to measures used by rating agencies to assess entity credit quality.

Proportionate Debt, as used in our leverage ratios, is a non-GAAP measure and includes our share of the long-term, non-recourse property debt, outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and our term loan. Proportionate Debt excludes unamortized debt issuance costs because these amounts represent cash expended in earlier periods and do not reduce our contractual obligations. We reduce our recorded debt by the amounts of cash and restricted cash on-hand (which are primarily restricted under the terms of our property debt agreements), excluding tenant security deposits included in restricted cash, assuming the remaining amounts of cash and restricted cash would be used to reduce our outstanding leverage. We further reduce our recorded debt by the value of our investment in a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, as our payments of principal and interest associated with such property debt will ultimately repay our investments in the trust.

We believe Proportionate Debt is useful to investors as it is a measure of our net exposure to debt obligations. Proportionate Debt, as used in our leverage ratios, is calculated as set forth in the table below.

Preferred OP Units, as used in our leverage ratios, represents the redemption amount for the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units and, although perpetual in nature, is another component of our overall leverage.

The reconciliation of total indebtedness to Proportionate Debt and Net Leverage, as used in our leverage ratios as of September 30, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

	September 30, 2020
Total indebtedness	$	4,406,797
Adjustments:
Debt issuance costs related to non-recourse property debt and term loan		22,454
Proportionate share adjustments related to debt obligations of consolidated and unconsolidated    partnerships		(481,387	)
Cash and restricted cash		(268,491	)
Tenant security deposits included in restricted cash		13,036
Proportionate share adjustments related to cash and restricted cash held by consolidated and    unconsolidated partnerships		6,496
Securitization trust investment and other		(98,874	)
Proportionate Debt	$	3,600,031
Preferred OP Units		79,449
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnership		4,371
Net Leverage	$	3,683,851

We calculated Adjusted EBITDAre used in our leverage ratios based on the most recent three-month amounts, annualized, and trailing twelve months. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP measures, which we believe are useful to investors, creditors, and rating agencies as a supplemental measure of our ability to incur and service debt because they are recognized measures of performance by the real estate industry and allow for comparison of our credit strength to different companies. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of liquidity. There can be no assurance that our method of calculating EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts. Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, further adjusted for:

• gains and losses on the dispositions of depreciated property;

• impairment write-downs of depreciated property;

• impairment write-downs of investments in unconsolidated partnerships caused by a decrease in the value of the depreciated property in such partnerships; and

• adjustments to reflect Aimco’s share of EBITDAre of investments in unconsolidated entities.

41

EBITDAre is defined by Nareit and provides for an additional performance measure independent of capital structure for greater comparability between real estate investment trusts. We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre adjusted to exclude the effect of the following items for the reasons set forth below:

• net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and EBITDAre adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interests, to allow investors to compare a measure of our earnings before the effects of our capital structure and indebtedness with that of other companies in the real estate industry;

• the amount of interest income related to our investment in the subordinated tranches in a securitization trust holding primarily Aimco property debt, as we view our interest cost on this debt to be net of any interest income received from the investment; and

• the amount by which GAAP rent expense exceeds cash rents for a long-term ground lease for which expense exceeds cash payments until 2076. The excess of GAAP rent expense over the cash payments for this lease does not reflect a current obligation that affects our ability to service debt.

The reconciliation of net income to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and twelve months ended September 30, 2020, as used in our leverage ratios, is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Twelve Months Ended

Adjusted EBITDAre	$	125,041		$	529,839
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre	$	500,164

(1) Pro forma adjustments, net, includes pro forma adjustments to Nareit FFO per the reconciliation above, as well as adjustments for which annualization would distort results, and adjustments to reflect the acquisition of Hamilton on the Bay and the California joint venture transaction as if both transactions closed on July 1, 2020, for the annualized current quarter, and October 1, 2019, for the trailing twelve months.

We calculated Adjusted Interest Expense, as used in our leverage ratios, based on the most recent three-month amounts, annualized, and trailing twelve months. Adjusted Interest Expense is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is meaningful for investors and analysts as it presents our share of current recurring interest requirements associated with leverage. Adjusted Interest Expense represents our proportionate share of interest expense on non-recourse property debt and interest expense on our revolving credit facility borrowings and term loan. We exclude from our calculation of Adjusted Interest Expense:

• debt prepayment penalties, which are items that, from time to time, affect our interest expense, but are not representative of our scheduled interest obligations; and

• the income we receive on our investment in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, as this income is being generated indirectly from interest we pay with respect to property debt held by the trust.

Preferred Distributions represents the distributions paid on the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units. We add Preferred Distributions to Adjusted Interest Expense for a more complete picture of the interest and dividend requirements of our leverage.

42

The reconciliation of interest expense to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Distributions for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and twelve months ended September 30, 2020, as used in our leverage ratios, is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended			Twelve Months Ended

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources are proceeds from dispositions of apartment communities, proceeds from refinancing existing property debt, borrowings under new property debt, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from equity offerings.

As of September 30, 2020, our available liquidity exceeded $1.0 billion. We have commitments for, and expect to spend, approximately $111 million on long-cycle redevelopment and development projects underway.

Our available liquidity consists of:

• $228.4 million in cash and cash equivalents;

• $27.1 million of restricted cash, excluding amounts related to tenant security deposits, consists primarily of escrows held by lenders for capital additions, property taxes, and insurance; and

• $793.4 million of available capacity to borrow under our revolving credit facility after consideration of $6.6 million of letters of credit backed by the facility.

Additional liquidity may also be provided through property debt financing at properties unencumbered by debt. As of September 30, 2020, we held unencumbered communities with an estimated fair market value of approximately $3.6 billion.

Uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding property debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders, distributions paid to noncontrolling interest partners, and acquisitions of apartment communities. We use our cash and cash equivalents and our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that our cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities are not sufficient to cover our short-term liquidity needs, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability and proceeds from apartment community sales and refinancings. We may use our revolving credit facility for working capital and other short-term purposes, such as funding investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, including redevelopment spending and apartment community acquisitions, through primarily non-recourse, long-term borrowings, the issuance of equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of apartment communities, and cash generated from operations. Additionally, we expect to meet our liquidity requirements associated with our debt maturities. Our revolving credit facility matures on January 22, 2022, and our term loan matures on April 20, 2021, prior to consideration of its one-year extension option.

43

The following table summarizes the payments due under our non-recourse property debt commitments, excluding debt issuance costs, as of September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

	Total		Less than One Year (2020)		1-3 Years (2021-2022)		3-5 Years (2023-2024)		More than Five Years (2025 and Thereafter)
Non-recourse property debt	$	4,079,251	$	18,656	$	472,602	$	578,427	$	3,009,566

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we placed $688.5 million of new property debt for incremental proceeds of $370.2 million.

Leverage and Capital Resources

The availability of credit and its related effect on the overall economy may affect our liquidity and future financing activities, both through changes in interest rates and access to financing. Currently, interest rates are low compared to historical levels. Recent events have increased volatility in interest rates, resulting in substantial movements, both up and down, in short periods of time. Capital is still available, but with fewer sources than in past periods. Any adverse changes in the lending environment could negatively affect our liquidity. We believe we have mitigated much of this exposure by reducing our short and intermediate term maturity risk through refinancing such loans with long-dated, fixed-rate property debt. However, if property financing options become unavailable for our future debt needs, we may consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as reductions in capital spending or proceeds from apartment community dispositions.

As of September 30, 2020, approximately 89% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, amortizing debt. Approximately 98% of our property-level debt is fixed-rate, which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates, and inflation. The weighted-average remaining term to maturity of our property-level debt was 8.2 years. On average, 5.0% of our unpaid principal balances will mature each year from 2021 through 2023.

While our primary source of leverage is property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt, we also have a credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. As of September 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and had capacity to borrow up to $793.4 million after consideration of $6.6 million of letters of credit backed by the facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we amended our Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement to include a $350.0 million term loan that matures on April 20, 2021. The term loan represents approximately 9% of our total leverage, includes a one-year extension option, and bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 185-basis points with a 50-basis point LIBOR floor.

As of September 30, 2020, our outstanding preferred OP Units represented approximately 2% of our total leverage. Preferred OP Units are redeemable at the holder’s option; however, for illustrative purposes, we compute the weighted-average maturity of our total leverage assuming a 10-year maturity on the units.

The combination of non-recourse property-level debt, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, term loan, preferred OP Units, and redeemable noncontrolling interests in a consolidated real estate partnership comprise our total leverage. The weighted-average remaining term to maturity for our total leverage described above was 7.6 years as of September 30, 2020.

Under the revolving credit facility and term loan, we have agreed to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.40x, as well as other covenants customary for similar revolving credit arrangements. For the trailing 12-month period ended September 30, 2020, our Fixed Charge Coverage ratio was 1.93x. We expect to remain in compliance with this covenant during the next 12 months.

We like the discipline of financing our investments in real estate through the use of fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property debt, as the amortization gradually reduces our leverage and reduces our refunding risk, and the fixed-rate provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, and the non-recourse feature avoids entity risk.

Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following discussion relates to changes in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 1 of this report.

44

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $265.9 million. Our operating cash flow is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment communities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, decreased by $12.9 million compared to 2019. The decrease was due to lower contribution from our Same Store and Redevelopment and Development communities, which were negatively impacted by the pandemic and governmental lockdown, and lower net operating income associated with communities sold. The decrease was offset partially by higher contribution from our Acquisition and Other Real Estate communities.

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our net cash used in investing activities of $356.0 million consisted primarily of capital expenditures and cash used in the purchase of Hamilton on the Bay, offset partially by proceeds from the disposition of one apartment community.

Total capital additions at apartment communities totaled $258.3 million and $296.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We generally fund capital additions with cash provided by operating activities and cash proceeds from sales of apartment communities.

We categorize capital spending for communities in our portfolio broadly into seven primary categories:

• capital replacements, which do not increase the useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition. Capital replacements represent capital additions made to replace the portion of our investment in acquired apartment communities consumed during our period of ownership;

• capital improvements, which represent capital additions made to replace the portion of acquired apartment communities consumed prior to our period of ownership;

• capital enhancements, which may include kitchen and bath remodeling, energy conservation projects, and investments in more durable, longer-lived materials designed to reduce costs, all of which differ from redevelopment additions in that they are generally lesser in scope and do not significantly disrupt property operations;

• initial capital expenditures, which represent capital additions contemplated in the underwriting of our recently acquired communities;

• redevelopment additions, which represent capital additions intended to enhance the value of the apartment community through the ability to generate higher average rental rates, and may include costs related to entitlement, which enhance the value of a community through increased density, and costs related to renovation of exteriors, common areas, or apartment homes;

• development additions, which represent construction and related capitalized costs associated with the ground-up development of apartment communities; and

• casualty capital additions, which represent capitalized costs incurred in connection with the restoration of an apartment community after a casualty event.

We exclude the amounts of capital spending related to commercial spaces and to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale at the end of the period from the foregoing measures. We have also excluded from these measures indirect capitalized costs, which are not yet allocated to communities with capital additions, and their related capital spending categories.

45

A summary of the capital spending for these categories, along with a reconciliation of the total for these categories to the capital expenditures reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, are presented below (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019
Capital replacements	$	28,330	$	27,834
Capital improvements		9,066		13,528
Capital enhancements		23,178		66,007
Redevelopment		106,873		74,666
Development		79,486		93,461
Initial capital expenditures		3,989		15,200
Casualty		7,411		5,420
Total apartment community capital additions	$	258,333	$	296,116
Plus: additions related to commercial spaces		2,391		4,221
Plus: additions related to apartment communities sold or held for sale		356		4,362
Consolidated capital additions	$	261,080	$	304,699
Plus: net change in accrued capital spending		11,189		(11,950	)
Capital expenditures per condensed consolidated statement of cash flows	$	272,269	$	292,749

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we capitalized $10.8 million and $8.0 million of interest costs, respectively, and $25.5 million and $26.9 million of other direct and indirect costs, respectively.

We invested $23.2 million in capital enhancements and $186.4 million in redevelopment and development during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Capital enhancement spend decreased $42.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2019, due primarily to the delay of certain capital projects in response to the potential economic impacts of COVID-19 and the governmental lockdown. The increase in redevelopment spending is driven by the full redevelopments of the North Tower at Flamingo Point and 707 Leahy. Further details regarding our redevelopment and development activities, including apartment communities constructed and delivered as of September 30, 2020, is discussed in the Executive Overview section above.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased by $423.0 million compared to nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change was due primarily to cash proceeds from the sale of a partial interest in the California joint venture, cash proceeds from our term loan, and lower payments to equity holders, offset partially by higher principal repayments on non-recourse debt and higher payments on our revolving credit facility.

Equity and Partners’ Capital Transactions

The following table presents the Aimco Operating Partnership’s distribution activity (including distributions paid to Aimco) during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to preferred unitholders	$	5,415
Cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to common unitholders (1)		193,139
Cash distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships		312
Total cash distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership	$	198,866

(1) $183.0 million represented distributions to Aimco, and $10.1 million represented distributions paid to holders of common OP Units.

The following table presents Aimco’s dividend and distribution activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Cash distributions paid to holders of OP Units	$	15,551
Cash distributions paid to holders of noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships		312
Cash dividends paid by Aimco to common stockholders		183,003
Total cash dividends and distributions paid by Aimco	$	198,866

46

Future Capital Needs

We expect to fund any future acquisitions, redevelopment, development, and other capital spending principally with proceeds from apartment community sales, short-term borrowings, debt and equity financing, and operating cash flows. Our near-term business plan does not contemplate the issuance of equity. We believe, based on the information available at this time, that we have sufficient cash on hand and access to additional sources of liquidity to meet our operational needs for 2020 and beyond.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of September 30, 2020, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $69.5 million of variable-rate property-level debt outstanding in addition to our $350.0 million term loan. We estimate that a change in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads would reduce or increase interest expense by approximately $0.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, on an annual basis.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid an upfront premium of $12.1 million for the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a future date. This interest rate option, or swaption, provides partial protection against our refinancing interest rate risk and is intended to mitigate interest rate increases between now and 2024. We receive a cash settlement in the future if the prevailing interest rate is higher than the 1.68% strike price. The amount of future cash settlement is limited if the prevailing interest rate exceeds 2.78%. Alternatively, if interest rates were to decrease below the specified strike price, we would not receive a cash settlement.

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $268.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, a portion of which bears interest at variable rates, which may offset somewhat a change in rates on our variable-rate debt discussed above.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Aimco

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Aimco’s management, with the participation of Aimco’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Aimco’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this report, we are updating the risk factors in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, to include the following risk factors. The risk factors as-filed remain unchanged.

The proposed plan to separate our business into two, focused and independent, publicly traded companies, may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or terms, or at all, and may not achieve the intended benefits.

On September 14, 2020, we announced a plan to separate our business into two, focused and independent, publicly traded companies, AIR and Aimco, in the form of a spin-off transaction, whereby Aimco will retain the redevelopment and development business and portfolio (among other communities and assets), and AIR will own a diversified portfolio of stabilized properties. We expect to complete the spin-off in 2020, although there can be no assurance as to whether or when the spin-off will occur. The spin-off is subject to various conditions, including, among other things, declaration by the SEC that the registration statements on Form 10 are effective, the listing on the NYSE of the common stock to be distributed in the spin-off, and final approval and declaration of the distribution by our Board of Directors. Such conditions and other unforeseen developments, including in the debt or equity markets or general market conditions, could delay or prevent the spin-off or cause the spin-off to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable and/or different than anticipated. In addition, even if all the conditions have been satisfied, if our Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the spin-off is not in the best interests of Aimco and its stockholders, Aimco may terminate the spin-off. We also are expected to incur significant one-time costs and ongoing costs in connection with, or as a result of, the spin-off, including costs of operating each business as an independent, publicly-traded company. Those costs may exceed our estimates or could negate some of the benefits we expect to realize.

The spin-off may not provide results on the scope or scale we anticipate, and we may not realize any or all of the intended benefits. For instance, it may take longer than anticipated for Aimco to, or it may never, succeed in growing its revenues through its development and redevelopment business, and it may take longer than anticipated for AIR to, or it may never, succeed in growing its business through the acquisition of new stabilized apartments communities or through its active management strategies.

Pandemics, such as COVID-19, may affect our ability to collect rents and late fees from tenants, and our ability to evict tenants, in addition to having other negative effects on our business, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

A local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, could negatively impact our tenants and our operations. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting a wide variety of measures including states of emergency, mandatory quarantines, required business and school closures, implementing “shelter in place” orders, and restricting travel. In addition, many cities and states have enacted, or are considering enacting, exceptions to contractual obligations for residents and commercial tenants, including government mandated rent delays or other abatement measures or concessions or prohibitions on lease terminations or evictions. Many experts predict that the outbreak will trigger a period of material global economic slowdown or a global recession.

Factors that have negatively impacted, or would negatively impact, our operations or those of entities in which we hold a partial interest (including our interest in the partnership owning the Parkmerced Apartments), during the COVID-19 pandemic or another pandemic include:

• our ability to collect rents and late fees on a timely basis or at all, without reductions or other concessions;

• our ability to evict residents for non-payment and for other reasons;

• our ability to ensure business continuity in the event our continuity of operations plan is not effective or improperly implemented or deployed during a disruption;

• fluctuations in regional and local economies, local real estate conditions, and rental rates;

• our ability to control incremental costs associated with COVID-19;

• our ability to dispose communities at all or on terms favorable to us;

48

• our ability to complete redevelopments and developments as planned; and

• potential litigation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict how significant the impact of this outbreak will be on the global economy, our residents and commercial tenants, our communities, and the operations of entities in which we hold a partial interest (including our interest in the partnership owning the Parkmerced Apartments), or for how long disruptions are likely to continue. The extent of such impact will depend on developments, which are highly uncertain, rapidly evolving and cannot be predicted, including the ability to contain the virus, the duration of measures implemented and the overall impact of these measures. Such developments, depending on their nature, duration, and intensity, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic also may have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Aimco

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

From time to time, Aimco may issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for OP Units, defined under The Aimco Operating Partnership heading below. Such shares are issued based on an exchange ratio of one share for each common OP Unit. Aimco may also issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for limited partnership interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, Aimco did not issue any shares of Common Stock in exchange for OP Units in these transactions.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

There were no repurchases by Aimco of its common equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Aimco’s Board of Directors has, from time to time, authorized Aimco to repurchase shares of its outstanding Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, Aimco was authorized to repurchase approximately 10.4 million shares. This authorization has no expiration date. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

The Aimco Operating Partnership

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The Aimco Operating Partnership did not issue any unregistered OP units during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

The Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement generally provides that after holding common OP Units for one year, limited partners other than Aimco have the right to redeem their common OP Units for cash or, at our election, shares of Aimco Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary antidilution adjustments). During the three months ended September 30, 2020, no common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock.

The following table summarizes the Aimco Operating Partnership’s repurchases, or redemptions in exchange for cash, of common OP Units for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Fiscal period	Total Number of Units Purchased		Average Price Paid per Unit		Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1)	Maximum Number of Units that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
July 1, 2020 ‒ July 31, 2020		1,393	$	38.65	N/A	N/A
August 1, 2020 ‒ August 31, 2020		9,549		36.97	N/A	N/A
September 1, 2020 ‒ September 30, 2020		2,477		36.35	N/A	N/A
Total		4,178	$	37.03

(1) The terms of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement do not provide for a maximum number of units that may be repurchased, and other than the express terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Aimco Operating Partnership has no publicly announced plans or programs of repurchase. However, for Aimco to repurchase shares of its Common Stock, the Aimco Operating Partnership must make a concurrent repurchase of its common partnership units held by Aimco at a price per unit that is equal to the price per share Aimco pays for its Common Stock.

49

Dividend and Distribution Payments

As a REIT, Aimco is required to distribute annually to holders of its Common Stock at least 90% of its “real estate investment trust taxable income,” which, as defined by the Code and United States Department of Treasury regulations, is generally equivalent to net taxable ordinary income. Our revolving credit facility includes customary covenants, including a restriction on dividends and distributions and other restricted payments, but permits dividends and distributions during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of Aimco’s FFO for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status and avoid the payment of federal income or excise tax. Aimco’s Board of Directors targets a dividend payout ratio between 65% and 70% of AFFO.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization

Note 1 — Organization

Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. Aimco is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994, to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment, and some development of quality apartment communities located in several of the largest markets in the United States.

Aimco, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, holds a majority of the ownership interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Aimco conducts all of its business and owns all of its assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as OP Units. OP Units include common partnership units, which we refer to as common OP Units, as well as preferred partnership units, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2020, after elimination of units held by consolidated subsidiaries, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 159,182,513 common OP Units outstanding. As of September 30, 2020, Aimco owned 148,865,947 of the common OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco had an equal number of shares of its Class A Common Stock outstanding, which we refer to as Common Stock. Aimco’s ownership of the total common OP units outstanding represents a 93.5% legal interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership and a 94.9% economic interest.

Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries, collectively.

We own and operate a portfolio of apartment communities, diversified by both geography and price point, in 17 states and the District of Columbia. As of September 30, 2020, our portfolio included 126 apartment communities with 33,209 apartment homes in which we held an average ownership of approximately 95%. We consolidated 122 of these apartment communities with 33,067 apartment homes.

On September 14, 2020, we announced a Board-led plan, informed by active and regular engagement with shareholders, to reduce financial risk and execution risk, and to increase shareholder value by division of our business between two public entities. The first, with approximately 90% of our estimated fair value, will be known as Apartment Income REIT, or AIR. The second entity, with 10% of our estimated fair value, will be known as Aimco, or sometimes for clarity, as “new” Aimco, and is expected to hold the non-traditional assets, specified below. Separation costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, totaled $11.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively, are reflected in other expenses, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Following the completion of the separation, we expect to retain the redevelopment and development business, 25 consolidated communities including 16 multi-family communities securing a $534 million note payable due to AIR, and four non-100% owned communities that we do not consolidate. In addition, we expect to hold non-traditional assets such as other investments including 1001 Brickell Bay Tower and our loan to, and equity option in, the partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2019, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member of a limited liability company. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Redeemable Preferred OP Units

As described in Note 5, the preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holder’s option and are therefore presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units from December 31, 2019, to September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2019	$	97,064
Preferred distributions		(5,415	)
Redemption of preferred units		(17,615	)
Net income		5,415
Balance at September 30, 2020	$	79,449

The Aimco Operating Partnership has outstanding various classes of redeemable preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 2,938,802 and 3,643,399 redeemable preferred OP Units, respectively, issued and outstanding. Distributions per annum range from 1.92% to 8.75% per class and $0.48 to $8.00 per unit.

Revenue from Leases

The majority of lease payments we receive from our residents and tenants are fixed. We receive variable payments from our residents and commercial tenants primarily for utility reimbursements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our total lease income was comprised of the following amounts for all operating leases (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020			2019
Fixed lease income	$	200,295	$	213,945	$	619,447		$	639,359
Variable lease income		14,578		15,005		40,842			42,814
Straight-line rent write-off (1)		—		—		(2,927	)		—
Total lease income	$	214,873	$	228,950	$	657,362		$	682,173

(1) We monitor the collectability of all unpaid rent amounts. The onset of COVID-19 and the anticipated economic slowdown resulted in a $2.9 million write-off of accrued straight-line rent during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, we wrote-off the related deferred leasing costs of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The write-offs of deferred leasing costs are recorded in depreciation and amortization in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental lockdown, many jurisdictions where our communities are located have enacted protections for residents and commercial tenants, including government-mandated rent deferrals, rent freezes, repayment extensions, fee abatement measures or concessions, and prohibitions on lease terminations or evictions for tenants. Some states and municipalities are also implementing rental assistance programs and encouraging landlord-tenant negotiations.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions, including deferrals or reductions of future lease payments. Consequently, in accordance with the Staff Q&A issued by the FASB, we may elect to record rent relief when granted rather than over the remaining term of the lease. Our residential tenants represent approximately 97% of revenue and our commercial tenants represent approximately 3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we granted to commercial tenants $0.6 million and $1.0 million in rent relief, respectively, and elected to record these as a reduction of variable lease income in the table above.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Revisions

For the 2020 presentation of our condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have added a caption for investment management expenses. We have reclassified certain items from property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, net, in our 2019 presentation to conform to the current presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, issued by the FASB which changes the method and timing of the recognition of credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires us to estimate and record credit losses over the life of a financial instrument, including receivables, at its inception. Our notes receivable and investments in available for sale, or AFS, debt securities are subject to the new standard. For AFS debt securities, the new standard requires us to estimate a credit loss if the fair value of the instruments is less than the carrying value of the instruments.

We adopted the credit loss standard using the modified-retrospective approach. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment for the estimated credit loss associated with our notes receivable of $0.3 million in distributions in excess of earnings and partners’ capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2020. As of the date of adoption, the fair value of our AFS debt securities exceeded their carrying value and no estimate of credit loss was required for these instruments.

Significant Transactions

Note 3 — Significant Transactions

Joint Venture Transaction

On September 8, 2020, we formed a joint venture with a passive institutional investor, to own a portfolio of 12 multi-family apartment communities with 4,051 homes located in California. The communities included in the joint venture were valued at $2.4 billion, or approximately $592,000 per apartment home. The joint venture has existing property debt of $1.22 billion and an implied equity value of $1.18 billion. In exchange for a 39% interest subject to $475 million of property debt, we received $461 million. We retain ownership of 61% of the joint venture and will control and operate the communities in exchange for property and asset management fees.

We evaluated the joint venture and concluded that we will continue to consolidate these communities. The difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the interest sold was recognized in additional paid-in capital.

Acquisition of Hamilton on the Bay

On August 25, 2020, we acquired Hamilton on the Bay, an apartment community and an adjacent land parcel located in Miami, Florida. Summarized information regarding this acquisition is set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Number of apartment homes		271
Purchase price	$	89,600
Capitalized transaction costs		2,506
Total consideration	$	92,106
Consideration allocated to land	$	56,251
Consideration allocated to building and improvements		34,645
Consideration allocated to intangible assets (1)		1,506
Consideration allocated to below-market lease liabilities (2)		(296	)
Total consideration	$	92,106

(1) Intangible assets include in-place leases and leasing costs with a weighted-average term of 0.5 years.

(2) Below-market leases have a weighted-average term of 0.8 years.

Dispositions of Apartment Communities

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no apartment communities were sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we sold one apartment community with 219 apartment homes for a gain on disposition of $47.2 million and sold eight apartment communities with 2,605 apartment homes for a gain on dispositions of $356.9 million, respectively. The apartment communities sold were in lower-rated locations within our primary markets and had average revenues per apartment home significantly below those of our retained portfolio.

From time to time we may be marketing for sale certain apartment communities that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. At the end of each reporting period we evaluate whether such communities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2020, we classified a 266-apartment home community as held for sale that is expected to be sold for gross proceeds of approximately $126 million later in 2020.

Term Loan

On April 20, 2020, we secured a $350.0 million term loan. The loan matures on April 20, 2021, includes a one-year extension option, and currently bears interest at a 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85%, with a 50-basis point LIBOR floor. Proceeds from the loan were used primarily to repay borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

Life Science Developer Investment

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we made a $50 million commitment to IQHQ, a privately-held life-sciences real estate development company. In addition, we gained the right to collaborate with IQHQ on any multifamily component at its future development sites.

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In connection with our redevelopment, development, and other capital additions activities, we have entered into various construction-related contracts and we have made commitments to complete redevelopment and development of certain apartment communities, pursuant to financing or other arrangements. As of September 30, 2020, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $184 million, most of which we expect to incur during the next 12 months.

We enter into certain commitments for future purchases of goods and services in connection with the operations of our apartment communities. Those commitments generally have terms of one year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

Legal Matters

In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by our general liability insurance program, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental

Various federal, state, and local laws subject apartment community owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain potentially hazardous materials that may be present in the land or buildings of an apartment community. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such materials. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remediate properly, these materials may adversely affect occupancy at such apartment communities as well as the ability to sell or finance such apartment communities. In addition, governmental agencies may bring claims for costs associated with investigation and remediation actions. Moreover, private plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or for personal injury, disease, disability, or other infirmities related to the alleged presence of hazardous materials. In addition to potential environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current apartment communities, we may also be responsible for such liabilities or costs associated with communities we acquire or manage in the future, or apartment communities we no longer own or operate.

We are engaged in discussions with the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, regarding contaminated groundwater near an Indiana apartment community that has not been owned by us since 2008. The contamination allegedly derives from a dry cleaner that operated on our former property, prior to our ownership. We undertook a voluntary remediation of the dry cleaner contamination under state oversight. In 2016, EPA listed our former community and a number of residential communities in the vicinity on the National Priorities List, or NPL (i.e., as a Superfund site). In May 2018, we prevailed on our federal judicial appeal vacating the Superfund listing. We continue to work with EPA to formulate an agreed order to reimburse EPA costs and finish clean up of the site outside the Superfund program. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We also have a contingent environmental liability related to a property in Lake Tahoe, California. An entity owned by us was the former general partner of a now-dissolved partnership that previously owned a site where a laundromat, with a self-service dry-cleaning machine, operated. That entity and the current property owner have been remediating the site since 2009, under the oversight of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, or Lahontan. In May 2017, Lahontan issued a final cleanup and abatement order that names four potentially-responsible parties, acknowledges that there may be additional responsible parties, and requires the named parties to perform additional groundwater investigation and corrective actions with respect to onsite and offsite contamination. We appealed the final order, and on June 1, 2020, the court vacated the Order against us. However, there are still civil suits pending related to this contingent liability. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do not expect the resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We have determined that our legal obligations to remove or remediate certain potentially hazardous materials may be conditional asset retirement obligations, as defined by GAAP. Except in limited circumstances where the asset retirement activities are expected to be performed in connection with a planned construction project or apartment community casualty, we believe that the fair value of our asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated due to significant uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of those obligations. Asset retirement obligations that are reasonably estimable as of September 30, 2020, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Earnings and Dividends per Share and Unit

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings and Dividends per Share and Unit

Note 5 — Earnings and Dividends per Share and Unit

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership calculate basic earnings per common share and basic earnings per common unit based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit taking into consideration dilutive common stock and common partnership unit equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period.

Our common stock and common partnership unit equivalents include options to purchase shares of Common Stock, which, if exercised, would result in Aimco’s issuance of additional shares and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s issuance to Aimco of additional common partnership units equal to the number of shares purchased under the options. These equivalents also include unvested total shareholder return, or TSR, restricted stock awards that do not meet the definition of participating securities, which would result in an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock and common partnership units outstanding equal to the number of shares that vest. Common partnership unit equivalents also include unvested long-term incentive partnership units. We include in the denominator securities with dilutive effect in calculating diluted earnings per share and per unit during these periods.

Our restricted stock awards that are subject to time-based vesting receive non-forfeitable dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units prior to vesting, and our TSR long-term incentive partnership units receive non-forfeitable distributions based on specified percentages of the distributions paid to common partnership units prior to vesting

and conversion. The unvested restricted shares and units related to these awards are participating securities. We include the effect of participating securities in basic and diluted earnings per share and unit computations using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings when the two-class method is more dilutive than the treasury stock method.

Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share and per unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, are as follows (in thousands, except per share and per unit data):

The Aimco Operating Partnership has various classes of preferred OP Units, which may be redeemed at the holders’ option. The Aimco Operating Partnership may redeem these units for cash, or at its option, shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2020, these preferred OP Units were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.4 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, we have excluded these securities from earnings per share and unit computations for the periods presented above, and we expect to exclude them in future periods.

Dividends and distributions paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Dividends and distributions paid	$	0.41	$	0.39	$	1.23	$	2.80

In the first quarter of 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a special dividend and special distribution of $2.02, which is included in the $2.80 in the table above. The special dividend and distribution in the first quarter of 2019 consisted of the below (in millions):

Aimco Special Dividend:
Cash	$	67.1
Shares of Common Stock		4.5
Cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares	$	0.4
Aimco Operating Partnership Special Distribution:
Cash	$	72.7
Common partnership units		4.8
Cash paid in lieu of issuing fractional units	$	0.4

In connection with the 2019 special dividend and distribution, the Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The reverse split combined every 1.03119 common shares and common partnership units into one common share or common partnership unit and was intended to neutralize the dilutive impact of the shares and units issued in the special dividend and distribution. As a result, the number of shares and units outstanding after the dividend/distribution and reverse split was unchanged from the number outstanding immediately prior to the two actions.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investments in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which we classify as AFS debt securities. These investments are presented within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We hold several positions in the securitization trust that pay interest currently and we also hold the first loss position in the securitization trust, which accrues interest over the term of the investment. These investments were acquired at a discount to face value and we are accreting the discount to the $100.9 million face value of the investments through interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining expected term of the investments, which as of September 30, 2020, was approximately 0.8 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $95.3 million and $90.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Our investments in AFS debt securities are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of these investments using an income and market approach with primarily observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The fair value of the positions that pay interest currently typically moves in an inverse relationship with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the first loss position is primarily correlated to collateral quality and demand for similar subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid an upfront premium of $12.1 million for the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a future date. This interest rate option, or swaption, provides partial protection against our refinancing interest rate risk and is intended to mitigate interest rate increases between now and 2024. We receive a cash settlement in the future if the prevailing interest rate is higher than the 1.68% strike price. The amount of future cash settlement is limited if the prevailing interest rate exceeds 2.78%. Alternatively, if interest rates were to decrease below the specified strike price, we would not receive a cash settlement.

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our interest rate option, which is presented in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our interest rate option is classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy, and we estimate its fair value using pricing models that rely on observable market information, including contractual terms, market prices, and interest rate yield curves. The fair value adjustment is included in earnings in other expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair value are reflected as a non-cash transaction in adjustments to arrive at cash flows from operations, and the upfront premium is reflected in other financing in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table summarizes fair value for our AFS debt securities and our interest rate option (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2020								As of December 31, 2019
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Fair Value Disclosures

We believe that the carrying value of the consolidated amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their fair value as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The carrying amounts of notes receivable, the term loan, and the revolving credit facility also approximated their estimated fair value as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019. We estimate the fair value of our non-recourse property debt using an income and market approach, including comparison of the contractual terms to observable and unobservable inputs such as market interest rate risk spreads, contractual interest rates, remaining periods to maturity, collateral quality, and loan to value ratios on similarly encumbered apartment communities within our portfolio. We classify the fair value of our non-recourse property debt within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate its fair value.

The following table summarizes carrying value and fair value for our non-recourse property debt (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2020				As of December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value

Variable Interest Entities

Note 7 — Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Entities

Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, a VIE of which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Aimco are that of the Aimco Operating Partnership.

All of the VIEs the Aimco Operating Partnership consolidates own interests in one or more apartment communities and are typically structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the communities. The Aimco Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary in the limited partnerships in which it is the sole decision maker and has a substantial economic interest. The table below summarizes apartment community information regarding VIEs consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership, excluding 1001 Brickell Bay Drive as it is not an apartment community:

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
VIEs with interests in apartment communities		6		6
Apartment communities owned by VIEs		17		6
Apartment homes in communities owned by VIEs		5,409		2,056

Assets of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated VIEs must first be used to settle the liabilities of such consolidated VIEs. These consolidated VIEs’ creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Aimco Operating Partnership. Assets and liabilities of VIEs, excluding those of the Aimco Operating Partnership, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Assets (1)
Net real estate	$	1,424,820	$	501,272

Deferred tax liability		136,968		147,722
Accrued liabilities and other		42,845		36,107

(1) VIEs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, include one VIE that owns an interest in 1001 Brickell Bay Drive. Assets and liabilities include those of the VIE, but it is not included in the apartment counts above as it is not an apartment community.

Unconsolidated Entities

We have an interest in a partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments, which meets the definition of a VIE. However, we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate this partnership. We loaned $275.0 million to the partnership, which accrues interest at 10% per annum with a five-year term and the right to extend for a second five-year term. Our investment

balance of $300.3 million, reflected in mezzanine investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, consists primarily of notes receivable and represents our maximum exposure to loss in this VIE.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Note 8 — Business Segments

We have three segments: (i) Same Store, (ii) Redevelopment and Development, and (iii) Acquisition and Other Real Estate.

Our Same Store segment includes communities that have reached a stabilized level of operations as of the beginning of a two-year comparable period and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior year and are not expected to be sold within 12 months. Our Redevelopment and Development segment includes apartment communities that are currently under construction, and those that have been completed in recent years that have not achieved and maintained stabilized operations for both the current and comparable prior year. Our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment includes: (i) communities that we have acquired since the beginning of a two-year comparable period; (ii) communities that are subject to limitations on rent increases; (iii) communities that we expect to sell within 12 months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (iv) communities that we expect to redevelop; and (v) certain commercial spaces.

Our chief operating decision maker uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our communities. Proportionate property net operating income reflects our share of rental and other property revenues, excluding utility reimbursements, less direct property operating expenses, net of utility reimbursements, for consolidated communities. In our condensed consolidated statements of operations, utility reimbursements are included in rental and other property revenues, in accordance with GAAP.

As of September 30, 2020, our Same Store segment included 93 consolidated apartment communities with 27,610 apartment homes; our Redevelopment and Development segment included eight consolidated communities with 2,521 homes; and our Acquisition and Other Real Estate segment included 20 communities with 2,670 homes and one office building.

The following tables present the rental and other property revenues, property operating expenses, proportionate property net operating income, and income before income tax benefit (expense) of our segments on a proportionate basis, excluding amounts related to communities sold or held for sale and our proportionate share of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a $8.20 special dividend in the form of cash and stock. The special dividend includes the next two quarterly cash dividends, or $0.82 per share in the aggregate, accelerating the payment of the regular dividend expected in February of 2021. Additionally, shareholders in the aggregate will receive $7.38 per share in stock. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on the close of business on November 4, 2020, with shareholders having the opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the form of all stock or prorated cash and stock, and will be paid on November 30, 2020, after trading hours. The number of shares distributed in the special dividend will be determined by the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our shares during the 10-trading day period ending on November 24, 2020.

In order to neutralize the dilutive impact of the stock issued in the special dividend, our Board also authorized a reverse stock split, effective on November 30, 2020, immediately following the special dividend. As a result, total shares outstanding following completion of both the special dividend and the reverse stock split are expected to be unchanged from the total shares outstanding immediately prior to the dividend. Some stockholders may have more shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections. The reverse split will ensure comparability of per share results before and after these transactions.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2019, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.

As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a partner in a limited partnership or a member of a limited liability company. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.

Redeemable Preferred OP Units

Redeemable Preferred OP Units

As described in Note 5, the preferred OP Units may be redeemed at the holder’s option and are therefore presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units from December 31, 2019, to September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2019	$	97,064
Preferred distributions		(5,415	)
Redemption of preferred units		(17,615	)
Net income		5,415
Balance at September 30, 2020	$	79,449

The Aimco Operating Partnership has outstanding various classes of redeemable preferred OP Units. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 2,938,802 and 3,643,399 redeemable preferred OP Units, respectively, issued and outstanding. Distributions per annum range from 1.92% to 8.75% per class and $0.48 to $8.00 per unit.

Revenue from Leases

Revenue from Leases

The majority of lease payments we receive from our residents and tenants are fixed. We receive variable payments from our residents and commercial tenants primarily for utility reimbursements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our total lease income was comprised of the following amounts for all operating leases (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020			2019
Fixed lease income	$	200,295	$	213,945	$	619,447		$	639,359
Variable lease income		14,578		15,005		40,842			42,814
Straight-line rent write-off (1)		—		—		(2,927	)		—
Total lease income	$	214,873	$	228,950	$	657,362		$	682,173

(1) We monitor the collectability of all unpaid rent amounts. The onset of COVID-19 and the anticipated economic slowdown resulted in a $2.9 million write-off of accrued straight-line rent during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, we wrote-off the related deferred leasing costs of $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The write-offs of deferred leasing costs are recorded in depreciation and amortization in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental lockdown, many jurisdictions where our communities are located have enacted protections for residents and commercial tenants, including government-mandated rent deferrals, rent freezes, repayment extensions, fee abatement measures or concessions, and prohibitions on lease terminations or evictions for tenants. Some states and municipalities are also implementing rental assistance programs and encouraging landlord-tenant negotiations.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for lease concessions, including deferrals or reductions of future lease payments. Consequently, in accordance with the Staff Q&A issued by the FASB, we may elect to record rent relief when granted rather than over the remaining term of the lease. Our residential tenants represent approximately 97% of revenue and our commercial tenants represent approximately 3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we granted to commercial tenants $0.6 million and $1.0 million in rent relief, respectively, and elected to record these as a reduction of variable lease income in the table above.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Reclassifications and Revisions

For the 2020 presentation of our condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have added a caption for investment management expenses. We have reclassified certain items from property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, net, in our 2019 presentation to conform to the current presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, issued by the FASB which changes the method and timing of the recognition of credit losses on financial assets. The standard requires us to estimate and record credit losses over the life of a financial instrument, including receivables, at its inception. Our notes receivable and investments in available for sale, or AFS, debt securities are subject to the new standard. For AFS debt securities, the new standard requires us to estimate a credit loss if the fair value of the instruments is less than the carrying value of the instruments.

We adopted the credit loss standard using the modified-retrospective approach. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment for the estimated credit loss associated with our notes receivable of $0.3 million in distributions in excess of earnings and partners’ capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2020. As of the date of adoption, the fair value of our AFS debt securities exceeded their carrying value and no estimate of credit loss was required for these instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investments in the securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which we classify as AFS debt securities.We estimate the fair value of these investments using an income and market approach with primarily observable inputs, including yields and other information regarding similar types of investments, and adjusted for certain unobservable inputs specific to these investments. The fair value of the positions that pay interest currently typically moves in an inverse relationship with movements in interest rates. The fair value of the first loss position is primarily correlated to collateral quality and demand for similar subordinate commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Unconsolidated Entities

We have an interest in a partnership that owns Parkmerced Apartments, which meets the definition of a VIE. However, we are not the primary beneficiary and do not consolidate this partnership. We loaned $275.0 million to the partnership, which accrues interest at 10% per annum with a five-year term and the right to extend for a second five-year term. Our investment

balance of $300.3 million, reflected in mezzanine investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, consists primarily of notes receivable and represents our maximum exposure to loss in this VIE.
