The Aimco Operating Partnership

The Aimco Operating Partnership calculates earnings per unit based on the weighted average number of common partnership units and equivalents, participating securities and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership considers both common OP Units and HPUs, which have identical rights to distributions and undistributed earnings, to be common units for purposes of the earnings per unit data presented below. The following table illustrates the Aimco Operating Partnership’s calculation of basic and diluted earnings per unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except per unit data):

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership

As of September 30, 2014, the common share equivalents or common partnership unit equivalents that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share or unit in future periods totaled 2.5 million. These securities represent 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. The effect of these securities was dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and accordingly has been included in the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and unit during these periods. Participating securities, consisting of unvested restricted shares of Common Stock, receive dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units and totaled 0.5 million and 0.6 million at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effect of participating securities is included in basic and diluted earnings per share and unit computations for the periods presented above using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings.

Various classes of preferred OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership are outstanding. Depending on the terms of each class, these preferred OP Units are convertible into common OP Units or redeemable for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Common Stock, and are paid distributions varying from 1.8% to 8.8% per annum per unit. As of September 30, 2014, a total of 2.9 million preferred OP Units were outstanding with an aggregate redemption value of $78.9 million and were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.5 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option. 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.
