• Quarterly dividend raised to $0.44, payable on August 27, 2021.
• Signed new lease rates increased 9.5% month-to-date in July.
• Acquired City Center on 7th for $223 million, enhancing property portfolio.

Apartment Income REIT Corp. (“AIR”) (NYSE: AIRC) announced today second quarter results for 2021 and an increase to full year Same Store Revenue, NOI and FFO guidance.

Chief Executive Officer Terry Considine comments: “Business is good! Strong consumer demand is driving higher occupancy and higher rents. The efficiency of the AIR business model is confirmed with peer-best operating margins, low corporate G&A, driving a 5% increase in full year FFO guidance.”

“Asking rents have now surpassed the pre-COVID peak and are at or above their long-term trend. Improving consumer demand and strong execution led to signed new rates up 2.7% in the second quarter… and up 9.5% month-to-date in July.”

"We are on track to meet leverage goals. In April, we issued $342 million of equity and used the proceeds to reduce debt. We expect similar proceeds from 3Q activity to sell our New York and Chicago properties, and a like amount from 4Q activities to sell properties outright or to joint ventures, with all proceeds applied to debt reduction.”

“We upgraded our portfolio with the $223 million purchase of City Center on 7th, a 700-apartment home community located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. We will increase 4Q property sales so that this purchase is funded on a leverage neutral basis.”

"We are well positioned for an excellent second half of 2021 and an even better 2022; our current loss to lease of 10% suggests double-digit revenue growth."

Chief Financial Officer Paul Beldin adds: “Second quarter FFO per share of $0.52 was $0.02 above the high-end of our guidance range due to better than anticipated property operations and lower than anticipated offsite costs.”

“With 80% of 2021 anticipated leasing activity completed, we now expect full year Same Store NOI growth between (0.50%) and 1.00%, with Same Store property operations contributing an incremental $0.08 to FFO per share at the midpoint. Our full year FFO expectations, at the mid-point, are now 7% above our beginning of year expectations.”

AIR Operating Results: Second Quarter Same Store Revenue Up 0.8% Sequentially

The table below includes the operating results of the 92 properties of AIR that meet our Same Store definition. These properties comprise approximately 99% of AIR’s GAAP revenue.

Components of Same Store Revenue Growth – Second quarter year-over-year Same Store revenue growth was impacted by lower residential rental rates and increased bad debt expense, offset partially by higher average daily occupancy, increased late fees, and a recovery in commercial rents. The table below summarizes the change in the components of our Same Store revenue growth.

		SECOND QUARTER								YEAR-TO-DATE
Same Store Revenue Components		Year-over-Year				Sequential				Year-over-Year
Residential Rents			(2.3	%)			0.2	%			(2.1	%)
Average Daily Occupancy			0.3	%			(0.1	%)			(0.6	%)
Residential Net Rental Income			(2.0	%)			0.1	%			(2.7	%)
Bad Debt			(0.6	%)			(0.1	%)			(1.1	%)
Late Fees and Other			0.5	%			0.4	%			—	%
Residential Revenue			(2.1	%)			0.4	%			(3.8	%)
Commercial Revenue			0.2	%			0.4	%			(0.2	%)
Same Store Revenue Growth			(1.9	%)			0.8	%			(4.0	%)

Same Store Rental Rates – We measure changes in rental rates by comparing, on a lease-by-lease basis, the effective rate on a newly executed lease to the effective rate on the expiring lease for that same apartment. A newly executed lease is classified either as a new lease, where a vacant apartment is leased to a new customer, or as a renewal.

The table below details changes in lease rates, as well as the weighted-average (blended) lease rates for leases executed in the respective period. Transacted leases are those that became effective during a reporting period and are therefore the best measure of immediate effect on current revenues. Signed leases are those executed during a reporting period and are therefore the best measure of current activity.

*July leasing results are preliminary and as of July 27, 2021.

Same Store Markets – Market conditions and leasing results in the second quarter exceeded our expectations at the beginning of the year. We continue to emphasize margin and long-tern NOI growth over short-term revenue growth. This approach contributed to sequential revenue growth of 80 basis points from the first to second quarter, and more importantly positioned the business for continued acceleration through the second half of the year and into 2022.

Weighted-average signed lease changes have now trended upwards for 10 consecutive months with July new lease rates up 9.5% through July 27, 2021.

Year-to-date, we have transacted 11,700 leases with a weighted-average rate increase of 70 basis points compared to the prior lease. We have signed an additional 4,000 leases with average rate increases of 8.6%. These 15,700 leases represent approximately 80% of our anticipated full year leasing activity and have weighted-average rent increases of 2.7%. We anticipate another 3,700 leases to be signed with blended rent changes in the range of 6%-8%, and a full year blended rate increase of approximately 3%. Today, asking rents are 6% above our pre-COVID peak.

In addition to accelerating market rents as shown above, leasing pace has also exceeded expectations, with second quarter leasing volume 65% ahead of 2020 and 10% above our previous high in the second quarter of 2019. Average Daily Occupancy remained stable in the second quarter despite significant increases in frictional vacancy due to the number of lease expirations in peak season. While occupancy remained stable, our leased percent, which is the percent of total apartment homes currently leased, improved from 90.7% to 93.1% during the second quarter. As of July 27, 2021, our leased percentage is now 95%; 800 basis points ahead of the same day last year and 400 basis points ahead of 2019.

Rent Collection Update

We measure residential rent collection as the amount of payments received as a percentage of all residential amounts owed. In the second quarter, we recognized 97.9% of all residential revenue owed during the quarter, treating the balance of 2.1% as bad debt. Of the 97.9% of residential revenue recognized, as of quarter-end, we collected in cash all but 120 basis points, with 96.7% of the residential rents collected. Year-to-date we have recognized 97.9% of all residential revenue and collected 97.6% of billed rents.

As of June 30, 2021, our proportionate share of gross residential accounts receivable was $12.7 million. After consideration of tenant security deposits and reserves for uncollectible amounts, our net exposure is $1.1 million. Most of this balance is expected to be collected during the third quarter of 2021. Of our uncollected accounts receivable, 73% relate to California residents.

The state of California has recently expanded the SB-91 rent relief program, to allow for 100% of past due rents to be paid by state funding (vs. 80% previously). As of June 30, 2021, we had received $0.7 million in payments under these programs. We remain cautiously optimistic that this program will allow us to recover rent that was uncollected in 2020 or 2021. We expect bad debt expense to decline as emergency ordinances are lifted that suspended legal action to collect past due rents.

Commercial rental income comprised 2.7% of second quarter revenue. In the second half of 2021, we expect an increased contribution from commercial tenants as their businesses re-open and rent payments resume.

Portfolio Management

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. The table below relates to the AIR portfolio, excludes the properties retained by Aimco in the separation from AIR, and excludes the properties leased to Aimco for development or redevelopment.

	SECOND QUARTER
	2021		2020		Variance
Apartment Communities	96		99		(3	)
Apartment Homes	26,422		26,592		(170	)

NOI Margin	70	%	71	%	(1	%)
Free Cash Flow Margin	66	%	66	%	—	%

Acquisitions and Dispositions – In the second quarter, we acquired City Center on 7th, a 700-apartment home community located in Pembroke Pines, Florida for $223 million. The acquisition was temporarily funded through borrowings on our revolving credit facility pending the completion of paired trade transactions later in 2021.

We expect an NOI cap rate of 4.2% during our first year of ownership. An additional 160 basis points of growth is expected as we invest approximately $10 million in capital enhancements and implement fully our best-in-class operating platform. Since acquisition 45 days ago, we've signed 27 new leases with rate increases averaging 21.5%, while increasing occupancy by 70 basis points to 97.1%.

Dispositions – We had no dispositions in the second quarter.

Balance Sheet

We seek to increase financial returns by using leverage with appropriate caution. We limit risk through our balance sheet structure, employing low leverage, primarily long-dated debt; and we 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.

Components of Leverage

Our leverage includes our share of long-term, non-recourse property debt encumbering our apartment communities, together with outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our term loans, and our preferred equity.

		AS OF JUNE 30, 2021
($ in millions)		Amount				% of Total				Weighted-Avg. Maturity (Yrs.)
AIR share of long-term, non-recourse property debt		$	2,601				68	%			8.9
Term loans			800				21	%			4.5
Outstanding borrowings on revolving credit facility			347				9	%			4.8
Preferred equity*			81				2	%			9.9
Total Leverage		$	3,830				100	%			7.6
Cash and restricted cash			(67	)
Notes receivable from Aimco**			(534	)
Net Leverage		$	3,229

* AIR’s Preferred equity is perpetual in nature; however, for illustrative purposes, we have computed the weighted-average maturity of our preferred OP Units assuming a 10-year maturity and preferred stock assuming it is called at the expiration of the no-call period.

** We have notes receivable from Aimco with an aggregate principal amount of $534 million. The notes will mature on January 31, 2024, and are secured by a pool of properties owned by Aimco. We consider the notes a reduction of leverage as we expect proceeds to be used to repay current amounts outstanding.

We entered 2021 with approximately $3.2 billion of net leverage. We anticipate ending 2021 with net leverage of approximately $2.5 billion. The April equity offering and 2021 property sales are expected to reduce leverage by $920 million. This decline is somewhat offset by borrowing to fund capital projects and the City Center acquisition at a loan to value of approximately 25%.

Equity Issuance & Financing Activity

As previously announced in April, we sold 7.825 million shares of our Class A Common Stock in a private placement to a large global real estate-focused investment firm for a cash purchase price of $342 million. Proceeds raised were used to repay $318.4 million of property debt with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.6%, which resulted in a ~0.9x reduction in Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre. Prepayment penalties incurred in connection with the debt repayment totaled $33.8 million. The economic cost of these prepayment penalties is expected to be substantially recovered through lower future interest expense.

On July 15, 2021, we closed on a new $350 million term loan. The loan matures on January 14, 2023, inclusive of a six month extension option, and bears interest at a LIBOR spread of 95 basis points. We used the proceeds to repay borrowings on our revolving credit facility, whose $600 million capacity is fully available.

Leverage Reduction – On Track

We target Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre below 6.0x, with a current target of 5.5x by year-end.

At June 30, 2021, Net Leverage to Adjusted EBITDAre was 7.3x, a 0.5x reduction from March 31, 2021.

Liquidity

We use our revolving credit facility for working capital and other short-term purposes and to secure letters of credit. At June 30, 2021, our share of cash and restricted cash was $67 million and we had the capacity to borrow up to $249 million, under our revolving credit facility, bringing total liquidity to $316 million. Pro-forma for the closing of the July term loan, our liquidity increased to $666 million.

We manage our financial flexibility by maintaining an investment grade rating and holding communities that are unencumbered by property debt. AIR has been rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s. As of June 30, 2021, we held unencumbered communities with property debt with an estimated fair market value of approximately $4.2 billion; an increase of 50% from December 31, 2020. We anticipate seeking an investment grade credit rating from Moody’s. In assigning ratings, Moody’s places significant emphasis on the amount of non-recourse property debt as percentage of the undepreciated book value of a company’s assets. To achieve Moody’s required thresholds, we estimate that a Moody’s investment grade rating will require property debt to approximate $1.8 billion. At June 30, 2021 our share of property debt is $2.6 billion.

Dividend

On July 27, 2021, our Board of Directors increased our quarterly cash dividend from $0.43 to $0.44 per share of AIR Common Stock. This amount is payable on August 27, 2021, to stockholders of record on August 13, 2021.

2021 Outlook

At the midpoint, we expect FFO per share to be $2.12, up $0.11 from our previous expectations due primarily to increased Same Store NOI.

Our guidance ranges are based on the following components:

		YEAR-TO-DATE JUNE 30, 2021		FULL YEAR 2021		PREVIOUS FULL YEAR 2021

Total Shareholder Return

The separation of AIR from Aimco created significant value for shareholders. The combined outperformance since the announcement of the separation translates to ~$1.3 billion of incremental shareholder value creation, or approximately $8.00 per share. This accretive capital allocation decision, builds on a long-track record of delivering strong returns to shareholders.

AIR Strategic Objectives

We created AIR to be an efficient way to invest in U.S. multi-family real estate, due to its simplified business model and diversified portfolio of stabilized apartment communities. Upon AIR’s separation from Aimco, we identified 10 strategic objectives. The following table outlines our progress against these objectives.

	Objective	Progress
	Simple business model without complex investments or development/lease-up risk	Done
	High quality and diversified portfolio of stabilized multi-family properties	Done
	Best-in-class property operations	Done

Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands, except per share data) (unaudited)
The separation resulted in Aimco being presented as the predecessor for AIR’s financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with GAAP and is due primarily to the relative significance of AIR’s business as compared to Aimco before the separation.

Rental and other property revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, is inclusive of $2.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of revenues related to Aimco’s sold properties. Property operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, is inclusive of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of expenses related to Aimco’s sold properties.
(2)	In setting our G&A benchmark of 15 bps of total assets, we consider platform fees earned on our California joint venture as a reduction of general and administrative expenses. In accordance with GAAP, general and administrative expenses are shown gross of these platform fees and they are instead included in the determination of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships.
(3)	Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, includes $6.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of income associated with our notes receivable from Aimco, and $6.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of interest income associated with the four properties leased to Aimco commencing on January 1, 2021.
(4)	Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, includes $37.2 million and $38.2 million, respectively, of costs related to prepayment penalties from the repayment of property debt and the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with our previous credit facility.
(5)	In connection with the Separation, Aimco was allocated economic ownership of the mezzanine loan investment and option to acquire a 30% equity interest in the partnership. Subsequent to the Separation, all risks and rewards of ownership are Aimco’s, but legal transfer is not complete. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $6.9 million and $13.7 million of income, respectively, in connection with the mezzanine loan. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the mezzanine investment income was entirely offset by an expense to recognize the requirement that this income be contributed to Aimco.
(6)	During the fourth quarter of 2020, Aimco 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. Basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 148,535 and 148,553, respectively, as previously reported for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 148,527 and 148,670, respectively, as previously reported for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
