DENVER, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco") (NYSE: AIV) announced today second quarter results for 2024, updated guidance, and provided highlights on recent and planned activities.
Financial Results and Highlights
- Aimco's net loss attributable to common stockholders per share, on a fully dilutive basis, was $(0.43) for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, due primarily to a non-cash impairment charge related to its passive equity investment in IQHQ.
- Second quarter 2024 revenue, expenses, and net operating income ("NOI") from Aimco's Stabilized Operating Properties increased 4.6%, 5.7%, and 4.1%, respectively, year-over-year, with average monthly revenue per apartment home increasing by 4.4% to $2,392.
- During the second quarter, construction of Aimco's Strathmore Square and Oak Shore development projects advanced on plan. Aimco has substantially completed construction at Upton Place in Upper Northwest Washington, D.C. and, as of July 31, 2024, had leased 240 of the 689 units at rates ahead of underwriting.
- Aimco acquired 3.0 million shares of its common stock during the second quarter at an average cost of $8.02 per share.
CEO Commentary
Wes Powell, Aimco President and Chief Executive Officer, comments: "In the second quarter, Aimco continued to produce solid results and made steady progress toward our 2024 plans and objectives.
"Aimco's diversified portfolio of apartment communities continued to perform well during the second quarter with NOI up 4.1% year-over-year. Nearly 66% of residents whose leases were expiring signed renewals during the quarter and average monthly revenue per apartment home grew by 4.4% to $2,392. With the majority of 2024's leasing transactions now complete, and considering the strong performance to date, we have revised our full year guidance and now expect revenue to grow between 3.25% and 3.75% and expenses to increase between 6.00% and 7.50%, resulting in NOI growth of between 1.50% to 2.75%, an increase of more than 100 basis points at the mid-point.
"Our active development projects are progressing on schedule and on budget. Year-to-date, through July, the Aimco team has brought more than 600 new apartment homes online and executed more than 250 new leases across those projects. Our current class of development projects are expected to be fully delivered by year end with NOI stabilization projected to occur during 2026. We continue to advance planning efforts in anticipation of select new project starts. Consistent with our stated guidance, total Aimco equity allocated to development and related activities is projected to be substantially reduced when compared to prior years.
"Together with our brokerage teams we continue to advance efforts related to the marketing and sale of our two-property assemblage in Miami's Brickell neighborhood and The Hamilton, our recently completed redevelopment in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. While we do not plan to comment on specific pricing, terms or timelines until definitive agreements have been executed and deposits have become nonrefundable, we remain committed to unlocking the value embedded within these assets and prudently allocating the net proceeds, with a preference for returning capital to stockholders.
"We continue to believe that Aimco shares represent an accretive use of excess capital and, as of July 31, 2024, had repurchased 4.2 million shares year-to-date at an average price of $7.93 per share.
"Aimco's strong performance is the result of the good work produced by a talented and engaged team, whom I am thankful to work alongside, and from the diligent oversight provided by an experienced Board of Directors. Above all else, we are committed to creating and unlocking value for Aimco stockholders."

Value Add and Opportunistic Investments
Development and Redevelopment
Aimco generally seeks development and redevelopment opportunities where barriers to entry are high, target customers can be clearly defined, and Aimco has a comparative advantage over others in the market. Aimco's value add and opportunistic investments may also target portfolio acquisitions, operational turnarounds, and re-entitlements.
As of June 30, 2024, Aimco had two multifamily development projects under construction, a multifamily community that has been substantially completed and is now in lease-up, and a hotel that was completed in 2023 and is being stabilized. These projects remain on track, as measured by construction budget and lease-up metrics. Additionally, Aimco has a pipeline of future value add opportunities totaling approximately 13 million gross square feet of development in Aimco's target markets of Southeast Florida, the Washington D.C. Metro, and Colorado's Front Range.
During the second quarter, $29.8 million of capital was invested in Aimco's development and redevelopment activities, primarily funded through construction loan draws. Updates on active development projects and Aimco's pipeline include:
- In Upper Northwest Washington D.C., construction at Upton Place is substantially complete. As of July 31, 2024, Aimco has delivered all 689 apartment homes with 240 units leased or pre-leased and 150 homes occupied, at rates ahead of our initial projections. Additionally, as of July 31, 2024, approximately 88% of the project's 105K square feet of retail space had been leased with tenant fit-out ongoing.
- In Bethesda, Maryland, construction is progressing on plan at the first phase of Strathmore Square, which will contain 220 highly tailored apartment homes in two buildings. As of July 31, 2024, Aimco had delivered 175 apartment homes, leased 40 units at rates ahead of our initial projections, and welcomed residents into their new homes.
- In Corte Madera, California, construction is ongoing at Oak Shore where 16 luxury single-family rental homes and eight accessory dwelling units are being developed. As of July 31, 2024, 13 of the residences had been delivered, seven were occupied and Aimco had pre-leased another two at rates ahead of our initial projections.
- In the second quarter 2024, Aimco invested $3.3 million into programming, design, documentation, and entitlement efforts related to select pipeline projects located in South Florida and on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. Consistent with Aimco's capital allocation strategy, it may choose to monetize certain of these assets prior to vertical construction in an effort to maximize value add and risk-adjusted returns.
Investment & Disposition Activity
Aimco is focused on prudently allocating capital and delivering strong investment returns. Consistent with Aimco's capital allocation philosophy, it monetizes the value within its assets when accretive uses of the proceeds are identified and invests when the risk-adjusted returns are superior to other uses of capital.
Aimco is currently marketing three assets for sale in the Miami market: 1001 and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive (The Brickell Assemblage) and The Hamilton. Our respective brokerage teams remain in active discussions with interested parties and continue to solicit offers. Aimco does not intend to comment on specific pricing, terms or timelines until definitive agreements have been executed and buyers' deposits have become nonrefundable.
Balance Sheet and Financing Activity
Aimco is highly focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, including ample liquidity. As of June 30, 2024, Aimco had access to $259.4 million, including $88.5 million of cash on hand, $20.9 million of restricted cash, and the capacity to borrow up to $150.0 million on its revolving credit facility.
Aimco's net leverage as of June 30, 2024, was as follows:

Public Market Equity

Commitment to Enhance Stockholder Value
The Aimco Board of Directors, in coordination with management, remains intently focused on maximizing and unlocking value for Aimco stockholders and continues to engage regularly with several leading advisory firms, including Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
Aimco's announced plans to reduce exposure to development activity and monetize certain assets represent a commitment to simplify the portfolio and unlock embedded value when there are opportunities to do so. These efforts will further improve Aimco's positioning in the market and provide increased flexibility as the Board of Directors continues its review and consideration of broader strategic actions to maximize stockholder value. In addition, in conjunction with our contemplated asset sales, we will prioritize return of capital to our stockholders as a key component of our capital allocation philosophy.
There can be no assurance that the ongoing review will result in any particular transaction or transactions or other strategic changes or outcomes and the timing of any such event is similarly uncertain. The Company does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to the foregoing unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
