EXPLANATORY NOTE 

This filing combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, 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 and, as of December 31, 2018, owned a 94.3% ownership interest in the common partnership 
units  of,  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership.  The  remaining  5.7%  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 any assets, which it may acquire including all 
proceeds from the offerings of its securities. In exchange for the contribution of these assets, 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 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 consolidated 
financial statements for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes 
separate  discussions  of  each  entity’s  stockholders’  equity  or  partners’  capital,  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.  

This report also includes separate Part II, Item 9A. 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.

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  Annual  Report  contains  or  may  contain  information  that  is  forward-looking,  within  the  meaning  of  the 
federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding: 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; and our ability to comply with debt covenants, including financial coverage ratios.  

Actual results may differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements and, in addition, will be affected by a variety of 

risks and factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation:  

•  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  of  acquisitions,  dispositions, 
redevelopments and developments; and changes in operating costs, including energy costs; 

• 

• 

• 

Financing risks, including the availability and cost of capital markets’ financing; the risk that our cash flows from operations may be 
insufficient  to  meet  required  payments  of  principal  and  interest;  and  the  risk  that  our  earnings  may  not  be  sufficient  to  maintain 
compliance with debt covenants;  

Insurance risks, including the cost of insurance, natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; and 

Legal  and  regulatory  risks,  including  costs  associated  with  prosecuting  or  defending  claims  and  any  adverse  outcomes;  the  terms  of 
governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; and 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 us. 

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 and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue 
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 the section entitled “Risk Factors” described in 

Item 1A of this Annual Report and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

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: 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. 

PART I 

Item 1. Business 

The Company 

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

2 

 
 
 
Table of Contents 

Aimco, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP Trust, owns a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO 
Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994. Aimco conducts all of its business and 
owns all of its assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

Business Overview 

Our  business  activities  are  defined  by  a  commitment  to  our  core  values  of  integrity,  respect,  collaboration,  performance  and  a  focus  on  our 
customers. These values and our corporate mission, “to consistently provide quality apartment homes in a respectful environment delivered by a 
team of people who care,” shape our culture. In all of our interactions with residents, team members, business partners, lenders, and equity holders, 
we aim to be the best owner and operator of apartment communities and an outstanding corporate citizen. 

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  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. Some 
investors focus on multiples of Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO, and Funds From Operations, FFO. Our disclosure of AFFO, a measure 
of current return, complements our focus on Economic Income. We also use Pro forma Funds From Operations, or Pro forma FFO, as a secondary 
measure of operational performance. Over the past five years, we have generated Economic Income at a compounded annual return of 11.5%. Our 
business plan to achieve this principal financial objective is to:  

• 

• 

• 

operate our portfolio of desirable apartment homes with a high level of focus on customer selection and customer satisfaction and in an 
efficient manner that produces predictable and growing Free Cash Flow;  

improve our portfolio of apartment communities, which is diversified both by geography and price point by selling apartment communities 
with lower projected Free Cash Flow internal rates of return and investing the proceeds from such sales through capital enhancements, 
redevelopment, limited development, and acquisitions with greater land value, higher expected rent growth, and projected Free Cash Flow 
internal rates of return in excess of those expected from the communities sold;  

use low levels of financial leverage primarily in the form of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity, 
a combination that reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk and provides a hedge against increases in interest rates; and 

• 

focus intentionally on a collaborative and productive culture based on respect for others and personal responsibility.

Our business is organized around five areas of strategic focus: operational excellence; redevelopment; portfolio management; balance sheet; and 
team and culture. Our areas of strategic focus are described in more detail below. Recent accomplishments in the execution of such strategies are 
discussed in the Executive Overview in Item 7. 

Operational Excellence 

We own and operate a portfolio of market rate apartment communities, diversified by both geography and price point, which we refer to as our 
Real Estate portfolio. At December 31, 2018, our Real Estate portfolio included 134 apartment communities with 36,549 apartment homes in which we 
held an average ownership of approximately 99%. This portfolio was divided about two thirds by value to our “Same Store” portfolio of stabilized 
apartment communities and about one third by value to “Other Real Estate,” which includes recently acquired communities and communities under 
redevelopment or development whose long-term financial contribution is not yet stabilized. 

To manage our property operations efficiently and to increase the benefits from our local management expertise, we give direct responsibility for 
operations within each area to area operations leaders with regular oversight by senior management. To enable the area operations leaders to focus 
on sales and service, as well as to improve financial control and budgeting, we have dedicated area financial officers who support the operations 
leaders.  Additionally,  with  the  exception  of  routine  maintenance  and  purchases  and  installation  of  equipment,  we  have  specialized  teams  that 
manage capital spending related to larger and more complicated construction.  

We  seek  to  improve  our  property  operations  by:  employing  service-oriented,  well-trained  team  members;  taking  advantage  of  advances  in 
technology;  centralizing  operational  tasks  where  efficient  to  do  so;  standardizing  business  processes,  operational  measurements,  and  internal 
reporting; and enhancing financial controls over field operations. We focus on the following areas: 

3 

 
 
Table of Contents 

•  Customer Satisfaction. Our operating culture is focused on our residents and providing them with a high level of service in a clean, safe, 
and  respectful  living  environment.  We  regularly  monitor  and  evaluate  our  performance  by  providing  customers  with  numerous 
opportunities to grade our work. In 2018, we received 78,000 customer grades averaging 4.25 on a five-point scale. We use this customer 
feedback  as  a  daily  management  tool.  We  also  publish  on-line  these  customer  evaluations  as  important  and  credible  information  for 
prospective customers. We have automated certain aspects of our on-site operations to enable current and future residents to interact with 
us using methods that are efficient and effective for them, such as making on-line requests for service work and executing leases and lease 
renewals on-line. In addition, we emphasize the quality of our on-site team members through recruiting, training and retention programs, 
which,  with  continuous  and  real-time  customer  feedback,  contributes  to  improved  customer  service.  We  believe  that  greater  customer 
satisfaction leads to higher resident retention and increased occupancy rates, which in turn leads to increased revenue and reduced costs. 

• 

Resident Selection and Retention. In our apartment communities, we believe that one’s neighbors are a meaningful part of the customer 
experience, together with the location of the community and the physical quality of the apartment homes. Part of our property operations 
strategy is to focus on attracting and retaining stable, credit-worthy residents who are also good neighbors. We have explicit criteria for 
resident selection, which we apply to new and renewal leases, including creditworthiness and behavior in accordance with our community 
standards and our written “Good Neighbor Commitment.” Our focus on resident selection and retention led to 54% of expiring leases being 
renewed in 2018, the highest result we have yet achieved. 

•  Revenue Management and Ancillary Services. We have a centralized revenue management system that leverages people, processes and 
technology to work in partnership with our local property management teams to develop rental rate pricing. We seek to increase Free Cash 
Flow, which we define as net operating income less Capital Replacements, by optimizing the balance between rental and occupancy rates, as 
well as taking into consideration costs such as preparing an apartment home for a new resident. We are focused on careful measurements of 
on-site operations, as we believe that timely and accurate collection of apartment community performance and resident profile data allows us 
to maximize Free Cash Flow through better property management and leasing decisions. We seek to maximize profit by performing timely data 
analysis of new and renewal pricing for each apartment home, thereby enabling us to adjust rents quickly in response to changes in supply 
and demand and minimize vacancy time. We also generate incremental revenue by providing or facilitating the provision of services to our 
residents,  including,  at  certain  apartment  communities,  telecommunications  services,  parking  options,  package  lockers  and  storage  space 
rental.  

•  Controlling Expenses. Innovation is the foundation of our cost control efforts. Innovative activities we have undertaken include: moving 
administrative tasks to our shared service center, which reduces costs and allows site teams to focus on sales and service; taking advantage 
of economies of scale at the corporate level, through electronic procurement which reduces complexity and increases purchasing volume 
discounts;  focusing  on  life  cycle  costs  by  investing  in  more  durable,  longer-lived  materials,  which  reduce  turn  times  and  costs;  and 
leveraging technology to enhance the customer experience through such items as website design and package lockers, which meet today’s 
customer preference for self-service. These and other innovations contributed to a growth rate in controllable operating expense, which we 
define as property expenses less taxes, insurance and utility expenses, compounding for the past decade at an annual rate of 0.1%. 

• 

Improving  and  Maintaining  Apartment  Community  Quality.  We  believe  that  the  physical  condition  and  amenities  of  our  apartment 
communities are important factors in our ability to maintain and increase rental rates. We invest in the maintenance and improvement of our 
apartment  communities  primarily  through:  Capital  Enhancements,  which  may  include  kitchen  and  bath  remodeling,  energy  conservation 
projects and investments in longer-lived materials as described above, all of which are generally lesser in scope than is a redevelopment and 
do  not  significantly  disrupt  property  operations;  Capital  Improvements,  which  extend  the  useful  life  of  an  apartment  community  from  its 
condition  at  our  date  of  purchase;  and  Capital  Replacements,  which  are  capital  additions  made  to  replace  the  portion  of  an  apartment 
community consumed during our ownership. During 2018, we invested approximately $2,890 per apartment home in Capital Enhancements, 
$4,670 per apartment home in Capital Improvements planned as part of our initial investment in apartment communities acquired in 2018, $270
per apartment home in Capital Improvements for apartment communities acquired prior to 2018, and $1,052 per apartment home in Capital 
Replacements.  

Redevelopment 

Our second line of business is the redevelopment and limited development of apartment communities. Through these activities, we expect to 
create value by repositioning communities within our portfolio. Over the past five years, we have spent approximately $1.0 billion on redevelopment 
and development, resulting in estimated value creation of approximately $400.0 million. We measure the rate and quality of financial returns by NAV 
creation, an important component of Economic Income, our primary measure of

Table of Contents 

long-term financial performance. 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.  

We undertake a range of redevelopments, including those in which buildings or exteriors are renovated without the need to vacate apartment 
homes; those in which significant renovation of apartment homes may be accomplished upon lease expiration and turnover; and those in which an 
entire building or community is vacated. We often execute redevelopment using a phased approach, in which we renovate an apartment community 
in  stages.  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. 

We  also  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. Of these two activities, we favor redevelopment because it permits adjustment to the scope 
and timing of spending to align with changing market conditions and customer preferences. 

Portfolio Management 

Our portfolio management strategy involves the allocation of investment capital to enhance rent growth and increase long-term capital values 
through portfolio design, emphasizing land value as well as location and submarket. We target geographic diversification in our portfolio in order to 
reduce the volatility of our rental revenue and to reduce the risk of undue concentration in any particular market. Similarly, we seek price point 
diversification by owning communities that offer apartment homes at rents below those asked by competitive new building supply. 

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. Please refer to the Executive Overview heading under Item 7 for a description of our 
portfolio quality ratings. At December 31, 2018, our Real Estate portfolio was allocated about one-half to “A” rated properties, and about one-half to 
“B” and “C+” rated properties.  

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, limited development and selective acquisitions with projected Free Cash Flow internal rates of 
return higher than expected from the communities being sold.  

Balance Sheet 

Our  leverage  strategy  seeks  to  magnify  financial  returns  while  using  leverage  with  appropriate  caution.  We  limit  risk  through  balance  sheet 
structure, employing low leverage, primarily non-recourse and long-dated property debt; build financial flexibility by maintaining ample unused and 
available credit as well as holding properties with substantial value unencumbered by property debt; and use 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 under 

our revolving credit facility, and outstanding preferred equity.  

We target a ratio of Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA below 7.0x and we target a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to 

Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends greater than 2.5x. Our ratios as of December 31, 2018 were 7.2x and 3.4x, respectively. 

Our  liquidity  consists  of  cash  balances  and  available  capacity  on  our  revolving  line  of  credit.  As  of  December 31,  2018,  we  had  cash  and 

restricted cash of $72.6 million and had capacity to borrow $632.5 million under our revolving credit facility. 

We manage our financial flexibility by maintaining an investment grade rating and holding apartment communities that are unencumbered by 
property debt. As of December 31, 2018, we held unencumbered apartment communities with an estimated fair market value of approximately $2.7 
billion, up 50% from December 31, 2017. 

Please  refer  to  the  Executive  Overview  and  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  headings  under  Item  7  for  additional  information  regarding  our 

balance sheet and liquidity. 

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. In 2018, we were recognized  

5

by the Denver Post as a Top Work Place for the sixth consecutive year, an accomplishment shared with only seven other companies in Colorado. 

Competition 

In attracting and retaining residents to occupy our apartment communities we compete with numerous other housing providers. Our apartment 
communities compete directly with other rental apartments as well as condominiums and single-family homes that are available for rent or purchase 
in the markets in which our apartment communities are located. Principal factors of competition include rent or price charged, attractiveness of the 
location and apartment community, and the quality and breadth of services. The number of competitive apartment communities relative to demand 
in a particular area has a material effect on our ability to lease apartment homes at our communities and on the rents we charge. In certain markets, 
there exists an oversupply of newly-constructed apartment homes, single-family homes, and condominiums relative to consumer demand, which 
affects the pricing and occupancy of our rental apartments.  

We also compete with other real estate investors, including other apartment REITs, pension and investment funds, partnerships and investment 
companies  in  acquiring,  redeveloping,  managing,  obtaining  financing  for  and  disposing  of  apartment  communities.  This  competition  affects  our 
ability to acquire apartment communities we want to add to our portfolio and the price that we pay in such acquisitions; our ability to finance or 
refinance communities in our portfolio and the cost of such financing; and our ability to dispose of communities we no longer desire to retain in our 
portfolio and the timing and price available to us when we seek to dispose of such communities. 

Taxation  

Aimco 

Aimco has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, commencing with 
our taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and intends to continue to operate in such a manner. The Code imposes various requirements related to 
organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of 
income that must be met in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. If Aimco continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Aimco will generally not be 
subject to United States federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially 
eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation. 

Certain of Aimco’s operations or a portion thereof, including property management and risk management are conducted through taxable REIT 
subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. A TRS is a subsidiary C-corporation that has not elected REIT status and, as such, is subject to 
United States federal corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents and 
investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. We also use TRS entities to hold investments in certain apartment communities.  

The Aimco Operating Partnership 

The  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  is  treated  as  a  “pass-through” entity  for  United  States  federal  income  tax  purposes  and  is  not  subject  to 
United  States  federal  income  taxation.  Partners  in  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership,  however,  are  subject  to  tax  on  their  allocable  share  of 
partnership  income,  gains,  losses,  deductions  and  credits,  regardless  of  whether  the  partners  receive  any  actual  distributions  of  cash  or  other 
property from the Aimco Operating Partnership during the taxable year. Generally, the characterization of any particular item is determined by the 
Aimco Operating Partnership, rather than at the partner level, and the amount of a partner’s allocable share of such item is governed by the terms of 
the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement. The Aimco Operating Partnership is subject to tax in certain states. 

Regulation 

General 

Apartment communities and their owners are subject to various laws, ordinances, and regulations, including those related to real estate broker 
licensing  and  regulations  relating  to  recreational  facilities  such  as  swimming  pools,  activity  centers  and  other  common  areas.  Changes  in  laws 
increasing  the  potential  liability  for  environmental  conditions  existing  on  apartment  communities  or  increasing  the  restrictions  on  discharges  or 
other conditions, as well as changes in laws affecting development, construction, and safety requirements, may result in significant unanticipated 
expenditures, which would adversely affect our net income and cash flows from operating activities. In addition, existing rent control laws, as well 
as future enactment of rent control or rent stabilization laws, or other laws regulating multifamily housing, may reduce rental revenue or increase 
operating costs in particular markets.

Table of Contents 

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  at  an  apartment  community.  These  materials  may  include  lead-based 
paint, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and petroleum-based fuels. Such laws often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner 
or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such materials. In connection with the ownership, operation and management 
of apartment communities, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our current apartment communities, 
communities we acquire or manage in the future, or communities we previously owned or operated in the past. These and other risks related to 
environmental matters are described in more detail in Item 1A. Risk Factors. 

Insurance 

Our primary lines of insurance coverage are property, general liability and workers’  compensation. We believe that our insurance coverages 
adequately insure our apartment communities against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, terrorism and other 
perils, and adequately insure us against other risk. Our coverage includes deductibles, retentions and limits that are customary in the industry. We 
have established loss prevention, loss mitigation, claims handling and litigation management procedures to manage our exposure. 

Employees 

At December 31, 2018, we had approximately 1,050 team members, of whom about 700 were at the apartment community level performing on-site 
functions or at our shared service center performing tasks that have been centralized there, with the balance managing corporate and area functions, 
including investment and debt transactions, legal, finance and accounting, information systems, human resources and other support functions. As 
of  December 31, 2018,  unions  represented  approximately 50  of  our  team  members.  We  have  never  experienced  a  work  stoppage  and  believe  we 
maintain satisfactory relations with our team members.  

Available Information

Aimco Operating Partnership and any amendments to any of those reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available 
free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable through Aimco’s website at www.aimco.com. The information contained on Aimco’s website is not 
incorporated into this Annual Report. Aimco’s Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AIV.” In 2018, Aimco’s 
chief  executive  officer  submitted  his  annual  corporate  governance  listing  standards  certification  to  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  which 
certification was unqualified. 

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report, describe certain risks and uncertainties that could 

cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. 

Redevelopment, development and construction risks could affect our profitability.  

We  are  currently  redeveloping  certain  of  our  apartment  communities.  During  2019,  we  expect  to  invest  $225  million  to  $275  million  in 

redevelopment and development activities. Redevelopment and development are subject to numerous risks, including the following:  

•  we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy or other required governmental or third-party 

permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of opportunities;  

•  we may incur costs that exceed our original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs, such as litigation; 

•  we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of an apartment community on schedule, resulting in increased construction and 

financing costs and a decrease in expected rental revenues; 

• 

occupancy  rates  and  rents  at  an  apartment  community  may  fail  to  meet  our  expectations  for  a  number  of  reasons,  including  changes  in 
market and economic conditions beyond our control and the development of competing communities;  

•  we may be unable to obtain financing with favorable terms, or at all, which may cause us to delay or abandon an opportunity;

•  we  may  abandon  opportunities  that  we  have  already  begun  to  explore,  or  stop  projects  we  have  already  commenced,  for  a  number  of 
reasons, including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, we may fail to recover 
costs already incurred in exploring those opportunities; 

•  we may incur liabilities to third parties during the redevelopment or development process; 

7 

 
 
Table of Contents 

• 

• 

unexpected events or circumstances may arise during the redevelopment or development process that affect the timing of completion and 
the cost and profitability of the redevelopment or development; and 

loss  of  a  key  member  of  a  redevelopment  or  development  team  could  adversely  affect  our  ability  to  deliver  redevelopments  and 
developments on time and within our budget. 

Failure to generate sufficient net operating income may adversely affect our liquidity, limit our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures 
or adversely affect our ability to pay dividends or distributions. 

Our ability to fund necessary capital expenditures on our apartment communities depends on, among other things, our ability to generate net 
operating income in excess of required debt payments. If we are unable to fund capital expenditures on our apartment communities, we may not be 
able to preserve the competitiveness of our communities, which could adversely affect their net operating income and long-term value. 

Our ability to make payments to our investors depends on our ability to generate net operating income in excess of required debt payments and 
capital expenditure requirements. Our net operating income and liquidity may be adversely affected by events or conditions beyond our control, 
including: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the general economic climate; 

an inflationary environment in which the costs to operate and maintain our communities increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase 
rents, which we can only do upon renewal of existing leases or at the inception of new leases; 

competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;

local conditions, such as loss of jobs, unemployment rates or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment 
occupancy or rental rates; 

changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;

changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing; and

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing. 

Competition could limit our ability to lease apartment homes or increase or maintain rents.  

Our apartment communities compete for residents with other housing alternatives, including other rental apartments and condominiums, and, to 
a  lesser  degree,  single-family  homes  that  are  available  for  rent,  as  well  as  new  and  existing  condominiums  and  single-family  homes  for  sale. 
Competitive  residential  housing  as  well  as  household  formation  and  job  creation  in  a  particular  area  could  adversely  affect  our  ability  to  lease 
apartment homes and to increase or maintain rental rates.  

Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, we may not be able to sell apartment communities when appropriate.  

Real  estate  investments  are  relatively  illiquid  and  generally  cannot  be  sold  quickly.  REIT  tax  rules  also  restrict  our  ability  to  sell  apartment 
communities. Thus, we may not be able to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other market conditions. Our ability 
to dispose of apartment communities in the future will depend on prevailing economic and market conditions, including the cost and availability of 
financing. This could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. 

If we are not successful in our acquisition of apartment communities, our results of operations could be adversely affected. 

The  selective  acquisition  of  apartment  communities  is  a  component  of  our  strategy.  However,  we  may  not  be  able  to  complete  transactions 
successfully in the future. Although we seek to acquire apartment communities when such acquisitions increase our Free Cash Flow internal rate of 
returns and are accretive to Net Asset Value, such transactions may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations. In particular, following 
acquisition, the value and operational performance of an apartment community may be diminished if obsolescence or neighborhood changes occur 
before we are able to redevelop or sell the community. This could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. 

Our existing and future debt financing could result in foreclosure of our apartment communities, prevent us from making distributions on our 
equity, or otherwise adversely affect our liquidity. 

We are subject to the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, and the risk 
that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. 
If we fail to make required payments of principal and interest on our non-recourse debt, our  

8 

 
 
Table of Contents 

lenders could foreclose on the apartment communities and other collateral securing such debt, which would result in the loss to us of income and 
asset value. As of December 31, 2018, the majority of our apartment communities were encumbered by debt. Our organizational documents do not 
limit the amount of debt that we may incur, and we have significant amounts of debt outstanding. Payments of principal and interest may leave us 
with insufficient cash resources to operate our communities or pay distributions required to be paid in order to maintain Aimco’s qualification as a 
REIT. 

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and the cost of available financing and could adversely affect 
our liquidity. 

Our  ability  to  obtain  financing  and  the  cost  of  such  financing  depends  on  the  overall  condition  of  the  United  States  credit  markets.  During 
periods of economic uncertainty the United States credit markets may experience significant liquidity disruptions, which may cause the spreads on 
debt financings to widen considerably and make obtaining financing, both non-recourse property debt and corporate borrowings such as those 
under  our  revolving  credit  agreement,  more  difficult.  In  particular,  apartment  borrowers  have  benefited  from  the  historic  willingness  of  Federal 
National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, to make substantial amounts of 
loans  secured  by  multi-family  properties,  even  in  times  of  economic  distress.  These  two  lenders  are  federally  chartered  and  subject  to  federal 
regulation, which is subject to change, making uncertain their prospects and ability to provide liquidity in a future downturn. 

If our ability to obtain financing is adversely affected, we may be unable to satisfy scheduled maturities on existing financing through other 
sources of liquidity, which could result in lender foreclosure on the apartment communities securing such debt and loss of income and asset value, 
both of which would adversely affect our liquidity. 

Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense and reduce our profitability. 

As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately $420.5 million of variable-rate indebtedness outstanding. We estimate that an increase in 30-day 
LIBOR of 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads would reduce our net income and the amount of net income attributable to our common 
security holders (including Aimco common stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common unitholders) by approximately $4.2 million 
on an annual basis.  

At December 31, 2018, we had approximately $72.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, a portion of which bear interest at 
variable rates indexed to LIBOR-based rates, which may partially mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate indebtedness 
discussed above. 

Covenant restrictions may limit our ability to make payments to our investors. 

Some of our debt and other securities contain covenants that restrict our ability to make distributions or other payments to our investors unless 
certain  financial  tests  or  other  criteria  are  satisfied.  Our  revolving  credit  agreement  provides,  among  other  things,  that  we  may  not  make 
distributions to our investors during any four consecutive fiscal quarters in an aggregate amount greater than 95% of our Funds From Operations 
for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status. Our outstanding 
classes of preferred stock or preferred units prohibit the payment of dividends on our Common Stock or common partnership units if we fail to pay 
the dividends to which the holders of the preferred stock or preferred units are entitled.  

The Aimco Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries may be prohibited from making distributions and other payments. 

All of Aimco’s apartment communities are owned, and all of Aimco’s operations are conducted, by the Aimco Operating Partnership. Further, 
many of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s apartment communities are owned by subsidiaries of the Aimco Operating Partnership. As a result, 
Aimco  depends  on  distributions  and  other  payments  from  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership,  and  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  depends  on 
distributions and payments from its subsidiaries in order to satisfy our financial obligations and make payments to our investors. The ability of the 
Aimco Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to make such distributions and other payments depends on their earnings and cash flows and 
may be subject to statutory or contractual limitations. As an equity investor in the Aimco Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our right to 
receive assets upon their liquidation or reorganization will be effectively subordinated to the claims of their creditors. To the extent that we are 
recognized as a creditor of such subsidiaries, our claims may still be subordinate to any security interest in or other lien on their assets and to any 
of their debt or other obligations that are senior to our claims. 

Potential liability or other expenditures associated with potential environmental contamination may be costly. 

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.  Potentially 
hazardous materials may include polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, lead-based paint or asbestos, among other materials. Such laws 
often impose liability without regard to fault or whether the owner or operator  

9 

 
 
Table of Contents 

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,  damages  to  natural  resources  and  for 
potential fines or penalties in connection with such damage or with respect to the improper management of hazardous materials. Moreover, private 
plaintiffs may potentially make claims for investigation and remediation costs they incur or personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities 
related  to  the  alleged  presence  of  hazardous  materials  at  an  apartment  community.  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. 

Laws benefiting disabled persons may result in our incurrence of unanticipated expenses. 

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or ADA, all places intended to be used by the public are required to meet certain federal 
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, or FHAA, requires apartment communities 
first occupied after March 13, 1991, to comply with design and construction requirements for disabled access. For those apartment communities 
receiving federal funds, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 also has requirements regarding disabled access. These and other federal, state and local 
laws may require structural modifications to our apartment communities or changes in policy/practice, or affect renovations of the communities. 
Noncompliance with these laws could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants and also could result in an order to 
correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. Although we believe that our apartment communities are 
substantially  in  compliance  with  present  requirements,  we  may  incur  unanticipated  expenses  to  comply  with  the  ADA,  the  FHAA  and  the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in connection with the ongoing operation or redevelopment of our apartment communities. 

Moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation may be costly.  

Although we are proactively engaged in managing moisture intrusion and preventing the presence of mold at our apartment communities, it is 
not  unusual  for  periodic  moisture  intrusion  to  cause  mold  in  isolated  locations  within  an  apartment  community.  We  have  implemented  policies, 
procedures  and  training,  and  include  a  detailed  moisture  intrusion  and  mold  assessment  during  acquisition  due  diligence.  We  believe  these 
measures will manage mold exposure at our apartment communities and will minimize the effects that mold may have on our residents. To date, we 
have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. We have only limited insurance 
coverage for property damage claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. 

Although we are insured for certain risks, the cost of insurance, increased claims activity or losses resulting from casualty events may affect our 
operating results and financial condition. 

We are insured for a portion of our consolidated apartment communities’ exposure to casualty losses resulting from fire, earthquake, hurricane, 
tornado, flood and other perils, which insurance is subject to deductibles and self-insurance retention. We recognize casualty losses or gains based 
on the net book value of the affected apartment community and the amount of any related insurance proceeds. In many instances, the actual cost to 
repair  or  replace  the  apartment  community  may  exceed  its  net  book  value  and  any  insurance  proceeds.  We  recognize  the  uninsured  portion  of 
losses as casualty losses in the periods in which they are incurred. In addition, we are self-insured for a portion of our exposure to third-party claims 
related to our employee health insurance plans, workers’ compensation coverage and general liability exposure. With respect to our exposure to 
claims of third parties, we establish reserves at levels that reflect our known and estimated losses. The ultimate cost of losses and the impact of 
unforeseen events may vary materially from recorded reserves, and variances may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. 
We  purchase  insurance  to  reduce  our  exposure  to  losses  and  limit  our  financial  losses  on  large  individual  risks.  The  availability  and  cost  of 
insurance are determined by market conditions outside our control. No assurance can be made that we will be able to obtain and maintain insurance 
at the same levels and on the same terms as we do today. If we are not able to obtain or maintain insurance in amounts we consider appropriate for 
our business, or if the cost of obtaining such insurance increases materially, we may have to retain a larger portion of the potential loss associated 
with our exposures to risks.  

Natural disasters and severe weather may affect our operating results and financial condition. 

Natural disasters such as earthquakes and severe weather such as hurricanes may result in significant damage to our apartment communities. 
The extent of our casualty losses and loss in operating income in connection with such events is a function of the severity of the event and the 
total amount of exposure in the affected area. When we have geographic concentration of exposures, a single catastrophe (such as an earthquake) 
or destructive weather event (such as a hurricane) affecting a region may have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition and results of 
operations. We cannot accurately predict natural disasters or severe weather, or the number and type of such events that will affect us. As a result, 
our operating and financial results may vary significantly from one period to the next. Although we anticipate and plan for losses, there can be no 
assurance that our financial  

10 

 
 
Table of Contents 

results  will  not  be  adversely  affected  by  our  exposure  to  losses  arising  from  natural  disasters  or  severe  weather  in  the  future  that  exceed  our 
previous experience and assumptions.  

We depend on our senior management.  

Our  success  depends  upon  the  retention  of  our  senior  management,  including  Terry  Considine,  our  chief  executive  officer.  We  have  a 
succession planning and talent development process that is designed to identify potential replacements and develop our team members to provide 
depth  in  the  organization  and  a  bench  of  talent  on  which  to  draw.  However,  there  are  no  assurances  that  we  would  be  able  to  find  qualified 
replacements for the individuals who make up our senior management if their services were no longer available. The loss of services of one or more 
members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do 
not currently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our employees.  

Aimco may fail to qualify as a REIT. 

If Aimco fails to qualify as a REIT, Aimco will not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to its stockholders in computing its taxable income, 
and  will  be  subject  to  United  States  federal  income  tax  at  regular  corporate  rates.  This  would  substantially  reduce  our  funds  available  for 
distribution to our investors. Unless entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code, Aimco also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT 
for the four taxable years following the year during which it ceased to qualify as a REIT. In addition, Aimco’s failure to qualify as a REIT would 
place us in default under our revolving credit agreement.  

We  believe  that  Aimco  operates,  and  has  since  its  taxable  year  ended  December  31,  1994,  operated,  in  a  manner  that  enables  it  to  meet  the 
requirements for qualification as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes. Aimco’s continued qualification as a REIT will depend on its 
satisfaction of certain asset, income, investment, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. 
Aimco’s ability to satisfy the asset tests depends upon our analysis of the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a 
precise determination, and for which we do not obtain independent appraisals. Aimco’s compliance with the REIT annual income and quarterly 
asset  requirements  also  depends  upon  our  ability  to  manage  successfully  the  composition  of  our  income  and  assets  on  an  ongoing  basis. 
Moreover, the proper classification of an instrument as debt or equity for United States federal income tax purposes may be uncertain in some 
circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT qualification requirements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Internal 
Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not contend that our interests in subsidiaries or other issuers constitutes a violation of the REIT requirements. 
Moreover, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause Aimco to fail to qualify as a REIT, or Aimco’s Board of Directors 
may determine to revoke its REIT status.  

REIT distribution requirements limit our available cash. 

As a REIT, Aimco is subject to annual distribution requirements. The Aimco Operating Partnership pays distributions intended to enable Aimco 
to satisfy its distribution requirements. This limits the amount of cash available for other business purposes, including amounts to fund our growth. 
Aimco generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and 
excluding any net capital gain, in order for its distributed earnings not to be subject to United States federal corporate income tax. We intend to 
make distributions to Aimco’s stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Code. However, differences in timing between the recognition of 
taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell apartment communities or borrow funds on a short-term or long-term basis to 
meet the 90% distribution requirement of the Code. 

Aimco may be subject to federal and state income taxes, in certain circumstances. 

Even if Aimco qualifies as a REIT, Aimco may be subject to United States federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on its 
undistributed income. Aimco could also be required to pay a 100% tax on any net income on non-arm’s length transactions between Aimco and a 
taxable REIT subsidiary and on any net income from sales of apartment communities that were held for sale primarily in the ordinary course. State 
and local tax laws may not conform to the United States federal income tax treatment, and Aimco may be subject to state or local taxation in various 
state or local jurisdictions in which Aimco transacts business. Any taxes imposed on Aimco would reduce our operating cash flow and net income 
and could negatively impact our ability to pay dividends and distributions. 

Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends. 

REITs are entitled to a United States federal tax deduction for dividends paid to their stockholders. As compared to other taxable corporations, 
this ability to reduce or eliminate the REIT’s taxable income by paying dividends to stockholders is a principal benefit of maintaining REIT status, 
generally resulting in a lower combined tax liability of the REIT and its stockholders as  

11 

 
 
Table of Contents 

compared  to  that  of  the  combined  tax  liability  of  other  taxable  corporations  and  their  stockholders.  Notwithstanding  this  combined  benefit, 
dividends payable by REITs may result in marginally higher taxes to the stockholder.  

C-corporations are generally required to pay United States federal income tax on earnings. After tax earnings are then available for stockholder 
dividends.  The  maximum  U.S.  federal  tax  rate  applicable  to  income  from  “qualified  dividends”  payable  to  United  States  stockholders  that  are 
individuals,  trusts  and  estates  is  currently  20%,  plus  the  3.8%  investment  tax  surcharge.  While  dividends  payable  by  REITs  are  generally  not 
eligible for the qualified dividend reduced rates, stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates may deduct 20% of the aggregate amount of 
ordinary dividends from REITs. This deduction is available for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, and will 
generally cause the maximum tax rate for ordinary dividends from REITs to be 29.6%, plus the 3.8% investment tax surcharge. The more favorable tax 
rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates to perceive investments in 
REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the shares of non-REIT corporates that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the 
value of the shares of REITs, including Aimco Common Stock. 

Changes to United States federal income tax laws could materially and adversely affect Aimco and Aimco’s stockholders. 

The  present  United  States  federal  income  tax  treatment  of  REITs  may  be  modified,  possibly  with  retroactive  effect,  by  legislative,  judicial  or 
administrative action at any time, which could affect the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in Aimco Common Stock. The 
United States federal income tax rules dealing with REITs constantly are under review by persons involved in the legislative process, the IRS and 
the United States Treasury Department, which results in statutory changes as well as frequent revisions to regulations and interpretations. We 
cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect Aimco or Aimco’s stockholders. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations thereof 
could  significantly  and  negatively  affect  Aimco’s  ability  to  qualify  as  a  REIT  and  the  tax  considerations  relevant  to  an  investment  in  Aimco 
Common Stock, or could cause Aimco to change its investments and commitments. 

Government  housing  regulations  may  limit  the  opportunities  at  some  of  our  apartment  communities  and  failure  to  comply  with  resident 
qualification  requirements  may  result  in  financial  penalties  and/or  loss  of  benefits,  such  as  rental  revenues  paid  by  government  agencies. 
Additionally, the government may cease to operate or reduce funding for government housing programs which would result in a loss of benefits 
from those programs. 

We  own  equity  interests  in  entities  that  own  certain  apartment  communities  that  benefit  from  governmental  programs  intended  to  provide 
housing to people with low or moderate incomes. These programs, which are usually administered by the United States Department of Housing and 
Urban  Development,  or  HUD,  or  state  housing  finance  agencies,  typically  provide  one  or  more  of  the  following:  mortgage  insurance;  favorable 
financing terms; tax-exempt interest; historic or low-income housing tax credits; or rental assistance payments to the apartment community owners. 
As  a  condition  of  the  receipt  of  assistance  under  these  programs,  the  apartment  communities  must  comply  with  various  requirements,  which 
typically limit rents to pre-approved amounts and limit our choice of residents to those with incomes at or below certain levels. Failure to comply 
with these requirements may result in financial penalties or loss of benefits. We are usually required to obtain the approval of HUD in order to 
acquire or dispose of a significant interest in or manage a HUD-assisted apartment community. We may not always receive such approval.  

Limits on ownership of shares specified in Aimco’s charter may result in the loss of economic and voting rights by purchasers that violate those 
limits. 

Aimco’s charter limits ownership of Common Stock by any single stockholder (applying certain “beneficial ownership” rules under the federal 
securities laws) to 8.7% (or up to 12.0% upon a waiver from Aimco’s Board of Directors) of outstanding shares of Common Stock, or 15% in the 
case of certain pension trusts, registered investment companies and Mr. Considine (or up to 18.0% for such pension trusts or registered investment 
companies upon a waiver from Aimco’s Board of Directors). Aimco’s charter also limits ownership of Aimco’s Common Stock and preferred stock 
by any single stockholder to 8.7% of the value of the outstanding Common Stock and preferred stock, or 15% in the case of certain pension trusts, 
registered investment companies and Mr. Considine. The charter also prohibits anyone from buying shares of Aimco’s capital stock if the purchase 
would result in Aimco losing its REIT status. This could happen if a transaction results in fewer than 100 persons owning all of Aimco’s shares of 
capital stock or results in five or fewer persons (applying certain attribution rules of the Code) owning 50% or more of the value of all of Aimco’s 
shares of capital stock. If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit or in violation of the ownership requirements of the Code for 
REITs: 

• 

the transfer will be considered null and void; 

•  we will not reflect the transaction on Aimco’s books; 

•  we may institute legal action to enjoin the transaction; 

12 

 
 
Table of Contents 

•  we may demand repayment of any dividends received by the affected person on those shares;

•  we may redeem the shares; 

• 

• 

the affected person will not have any voting rights for those shares; and

the shares (and all voting and dividend rights of the shares) will be held in trust for the benefit of one or more charitable organizations 
designated by Aimco. 

Aimco may purchase the shares of capital stock held in trust at a price equal to the lesser of the price paid by the transferee of the shares or the 
then current market price. If the trust transfers any of the shares of capital stock, the affected person will receive the lesser of the price paid for the 
shares  or  the  then  current  market  price.  An  individual  who  acquires  shares  of  capital  stock  that  violate  the  above  rules  bears  the  risk  that  the 
individual: 

•  may lose control over the power to dispose of such shares; 

•  may not recognize profit from the sale of such shares if the market price of the shares increases;

•  may be required to recognize a loss from the sale of such shares if the market price decreases; and

•  may be required to repay to us any dividends received from us as a result of his or her ownership of the shares.

Aimco’s charter may limit the ability of a third-party to acquire control of Aimco. 

The 8.7% and other ownership limits discussed above may have the effect of delaying or precluding acquisition by a third-party of control of 
Aimco without the consent of Aimco’s Board of Directors. Aimco’s charter authorizes its Board of Directors to issue up to 510,587,500 shares of 
capital stock. As of December 31, 2018, 500,787,260 shares were classified as Common Stock, of which 149,133,826 were outstanding, and 9,800,240 
shares were classified as preferred stock, of which 5,000,000 were outstanding. Under Aimco’s charter, its Board of Directors has the authority to 
classify  and  reclassify  any  of  Aimco’s unissued shares of capital stock into shares of capital stock with such preferences, conversion or other 
rights, voting power restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemptions as the Board of Directors may 
determine. The authorization and issuance of a new class of capital stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking 
control of Aimco, where there is a difference of opinion between the Aimco Board of Directors and others as to what is in Aimco’s stockholders’ 
best interests. 

The Maryland General Corporation Law may limit the ability of a third-party to acquire control of Aimco. 

As a Maryland corporation, Aimco is subject to various Maryland laws that may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire Aimco and 
increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, where there is a difference of opinion between the Aimco Board of Directors and others 
as to what is in Aimco’s stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland Business Combination Act, 
restricts  mergers  and  other  business  combination  transactions  between  Aimco  and  any  person  who  acquires,  directly  or  indirectly,  beneficial 
ownership of shares of Aimco’s stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without Aimco’s Board of Directors’ prior approval. Any such 
business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting power, and generally only with the 
approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the interested 
stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. The Maryland General Corporation Law, specifically the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, 
provides generally that a person who acquires shares of Aimco’s capital stock representing 10% or more of the voting power in electing directors 
will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote. Additionally, the Maryland General Corporation 
Law provides, among other things, that the board of directors has broad discretion in adopting stockholders’ rights plans and has the sole power to 
fix the record date, time and place for special meetings of the stockholders. To date, Aimco has not adopted a stockholders’ rights plan. In addition, 
the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a corporation that: 

• 

• 

has at least three directors who are not officers or employees of the entity or related to an acquiring person; and

has a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,

13 

 
 
Table of Contents 

may elect in its charter or bylaws or by resolution of the board of directors to be subject to all or part of a special subtitle that provides that: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the corporation will have a staggered board of directors; 

any  director  may  be  removed  only  for  cause  and  by  the  vote  of  two-thirds  of  the  votes  entitled  to  be  cast  in  the  election  of  directors 
generally, even if a lesser proportion is provided in the charter or bylaws; 

the number of directors may only be set by the board of directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws;

vacancies may only be filled by the remaining directors, even if the procedure is contrary to the charter or bylaws; and

the secretary of the corporation may call a special meeting of stockholders at the request of stockholders only on the written request of the 
stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, even if the procedure is contrary to the 
charter or bylaws. 

To date, Aimco has not made any of the elections described above.

Depreciation” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to  Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information 
regarding property debt.  

Our Real Estate portfolio is diversified by both price point and geography and consists of market rate apartment communities in which we own a 
substantial  interest.  Our  Real  Estate  portfolio  includes  garden  style,  mid-rise and high-rise  apartment  communities  located  in  17  states  and  the 
District of Columbia. Our portfolio strategy seeks predictable rent growth from a portfolio of apartment communities diversified among some of the 
largest markets in the United States, and that is diversified across “A,” “B” and “C+” price points, averaging “B/B+” in quality. As of December 31, 
2018, our Real Estate portfolio consisted of roughly one-half “A” quality communities and one-half “B” and “C+” quality communities (as measured 
by gross asset value). Please refer to the Executive Overview heading under Item 7 for a description of our portfolio quality ratings. The following 
table sets forth information on the apartment communities in our Real Estate portfolio as of December 31, 2018:

At December 31, 2018, we owned an equity interest in 134 apartment communities with 36,549 apartment homes in our Real Estate portfolio. We 

consolidated 130 of these apartment communities with 36,407 apartment homes.  

These consolidated apartment communities contained, on average, 280 apartment homes, with the largest community containing 2,113 apartment 
homes.  These  apartment  communities  offer  residents  a  range  of  amenities,  including  resort  pools  with  cabanas,  grills,  clubhouses,  spas,  fitness 
centers,  package  lockers,  dog  parks  and  large  open  spaces.  Many  of  the  apartment  homes  offer  features  such  as  granite  countertops,  wood 
flooring, stainless steel appliances, fireplaces, spacious closets, washer and dryer connections, balconies and patios.

The majority of our consolidated apartment communities are encumbered by property debt. At December 31, 2018, apartment communities in our 
Real Estate portfolio were encumbered by, in aggregate, $3.9 billion of property debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.18% and a weighted 
average maturity of 8.0 years. The apartment communities collateralizing this non-recourse property debt have an estimated aggregate fair value of 
$10.2 billion. At December 31, 2018, we held unencumbered apartment communities with an estimated fair value of approximately $2.7 billion. 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings 

As  further  discussed  in  Note  5  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  8,  we  are  engaged  in  discussions  with  regulatory  agencies 
regarding environmental matters at apartment communities we, or predecessor entities, previously owned. Although the outcome of these matters 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.

Aimco 

Aimco’s Common Stock has been listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol “AIV” since July 22, 1994.  

On February 15, 2019, there were 148,766,616 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held by 1,673 stockholders of record. The number of holders 
does not include individuals or entities who beneficially own shares but whose shares are held of record by a broker or clearing agency, but does 
include each such broker or clearing agency as one record holder. 

From time to time, Aimco may issue shares of Common Stock in exchange for OP Units, defined under The Aimco Operating Partnership heading 
below. Please refer to Note  7 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further discussion of such exchanges. Aimco may also issue 
shares of Common Stock in exchange for limited partnership interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. During the year ended December 31, 
2018,  Aimco  did  not  issue  any  shares  of  Common  Stock  in  exchange  for  OP  Units  or  limited  partnership  interests  in  consolidated  real  estate 
partnerships.

Performance Graph 

The following graph compares cumulative total returns for Aimco’s Common Stock, the MSCI US REIT Index, the NAREIT Apartment Index, and 
the Standard & Poor’s 500 Total Return Index (the “S&P 500”). The MSCI US REIT Index is published by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc., 
a provider of equity indices. The NAREIT Apartment Index is published by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, 
a representative of real estate investment trusts and publicly traded real estate companies with interests in United States real estate and capital 
markets. The MSCI REIT Index reflects total shareholder return for a broad range of REITs and the NAREIT Apartment Index provides a more direct 
multifamily peer comparison of total shareholder return. The indices are weighted for all companies that fit the definitional criteria of the particular 
index and are calculated to exclude companies as they are acquired and to add companies to the index calculation as they become publicly traded 
companies. All companies that fit the definitional criteria and existed at the point in time presented are included in the index calculations. The graph 
assumes  the  investment  of  $100  in  Aimco’s  Common  Stock  and  in  each  index  on  December  31,  2013,  and  that  all  dividends  paid  have  been 
reinvested. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

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 partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units. There is no public 
market  for  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership’s  common  partnership  units,  including  OP  Units,  and  we  have  no  intention  of  listing  the  common 
partnership units on any securities exchange. In addition, the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement restricts the transferability of 
common partnership units, including OP Units. 

At February 15, 2019, there were 158,495,487 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding (148,766,616 of which were held by Aimco) 

that were held by 2,515 unitholders of record. 

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). 

No common OP Units or preferred OP Units held by Limited Partners were redeemed for shares of Aimco Common Stock during the year ended 

December 31, 2018.

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.  Aimco’s  Board  of  Directors  determines  and  declares  its  dividends.  In  making  a  dividend  determination,  Aimco’s  Board  of  Directors 
considers a variety of factors, including: REIT distribution requirements; current market conditions; liquidity needs; and other uses of cash, such as 
for deleveraging and accretive investment activities. Aimco’s Board of Directors targets a dividend payout ratio between 65% and 70% of Adjusted 
Funds From Operations. 

In February 2019, the Aimco’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend on the common stock that consists of $67.1 million in cash and 4.5 
million shares of Class A Common Stock. The special dividend will be payable on March 22, 2019, to stockholders of record as of February 22, 2019. 
The special dividend amount includes the regular quarterly cash dividend, which for 2019 is expected to be $0.39 per share, which represents an 
increase of 3% compared to cash dividends paid during 2018. Stockholders will have the opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the 
form of all cash or all stock, subject to proration if either option is oversubscribed. 

Stockholders receiving such dividend and any future dividend payable in cash and shares of Aimco Common Sock will be required to include 
the full amount of such dividends as ordinary income to the extent of Aimco’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for 
United States federal income tax purposes for the year of such dividends, and may be required to pay income taxes with respect to such dividends 
in excess of the cash dividends received. With respect to certain non-United States stockholders, Aimco may be required to withhold United States 
tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in Common Stock. 

The Board of Directors of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s general partner determines and declares distributions on OP Units. Aimco, through 
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  is  the  general  and  special  limited  partner  of  and,  as  of  December 31, 2018, owned a  94.3% ownership interest in the 
common partnership units of the Aimco Operating Partnership. The Aimco Operating Partnership holds all of Aimco’s assets and manages the daily 
operations of Aimco’s business. The distributions paid by the Aimco Operating Partnership to Aimco are used by Aimco to fund the dividends 
paid to its stockholders. Accordingly, the per share dividends Aimco pays to its stockholders generally equal the per unit distributions paid by the 
Aimco Operating Partnership to holders of its common partnership units.

In February 2019, the Board of Directors of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s general partner declared a special distribution on the common 
partnership units that consists of $71.5 million in cash and 4.8 million common partnership units. The special distribution will be payable on March 
22, 2019, to unitholders of record as of February 22, 2019. 

In order to neutralize the dilutive impact of the stock issued in the special dividend, Aimco’s Board of Directors also authorized a reverse stock 
split in which every 1.03119 share of Class A Common Stock will be combined into one share of Class A Common Stock, effective at the close of 
business on February 20, 2019. The Board of Directors of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s general partner authorized a corresponding reverse 
unit split to be effective concurrent with the Aimco reverse stock split. As a result, total shares and total units outstanding following completion of 
the transactions are expected to be unchanged from the total shares and units outstanding immediately prior to the transactions. Some stockholders 
may have more Aimco shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections.  

Our revolving credit agreement includes customary covenants, including a restriction on dividends 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 Funds From Operations 
for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Executive Overview 

We are focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment and limited 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  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, avoiding disparity that can result from application of GAAP to investment properties and various ownership structures. Some 
investors  focus  on  multiples  of  Adjusted  Funds  From  Operations,  or  AFFO,  and  Funds  From  Operations,  or  FFO.  Our  disclosure  of  AFFO,  a 
measure of current return, complements our focus on Economic Income. We also use Pro forma Funds From Operations, or Pro forma FFO, as a 
secondary measure of operational performance. Over the last five years, our Economic Income grew at a compound annual return of 11.5%

as of September 30, 2018, comprised of a 8.5% compounded annual growth in net asset value, or NAV, per share and $6.36 in cash dividends per 
share paid over the period. In 2018, AFFO grew by 1.9% to $2.16 per share.  

Our business and five areas of strategic focus are described in more detail within the Business Overview in Item 1. The results from execution of 

our business plan in 2018 are further described in the sections that follow.  

Net income attributable to common stockholders per common share increased by $2.25 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to 

2017, primarily due to gains on the sale of the Asset Management Business and lower-rated apartment communities. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, our NAV per share increased by about 6%, which, with our cash dividend, provided Economic Income of 

8.5%. 

Pro forma FFO per share increased $0.02, or 0.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to 2017 due to the following items: 

• 

$0.08 from Same Store property net operating income growth of 3.1%, driven by a 3.1% increase in revenue, offset by a 3.3% increase in 
expenses; 

• 

$0.16 net operating income contribution from redevelopment communities and lease-up communities; partially offset by

•  A reduction of $0.14 from apartment communities sold to fund our investment activities; 

•  A reduction of $0.03 from the sale of the Asset Management business, net of the contribution from the reinvestment of the proceeds in 

2018 acquisitions and repayment of debt; 

•  A reduction of $0.05 from lower tax benefits and other items, net.

The $0.02 increase in year-over-year Pro forma FFO per share plus $0.02 in lower capital replacement spending due to fewer apartment homes 

increased AFFO by $0.04, or 1.9% per share.  

Operational Excellence 

We own and operate a portfolio of market rate apartment communities diversified by both geography and price point, which we refer to as our 
Real Estate portfolio. At December 31, 2018, our Real Estate portfolio included 134 apartment communities with 36,549 apartment homes in which we 
held an average ownership of approximately 99%. This portfolio was divided about two-thirds by value to our “Same Store” portfolio of stabilized 
apartment communities and about one-third by value to “Other Real Estate,” which includes recently acquired communities and communities under 
redevelopment or development whose long-term financial contribution is not yet stabilized.  

Our property operations team produced solid results for our Real Estate portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2018. Highlights include:  

•  Average daily occupancy of 96.5%, 50 basis points higher than the year ended 2017;

• 

• 

Same Store net operating income increased 3.1% with 74.2% net operating income margin; and

Same Store rent increases on renewals and new leases averaged 4.5% and 1.5%, respectively, for a weighted average increase of 3.0%.

Our focus on efficient operations through productivity initiatives such as centralization of administrative tasks, optimization of economies of 
scale  at  the  corporate  level,  and  investment  in  more  durable,  longer-lived  materials  has  helped  us  control  operating  expenses.  These  and  other 
innovations  contributed  to  limiting  growth  in  controllable  operating  expense  (defined  as  property  expenses  less  taxes,  insurance  and  utility 
expenses) compounding for the past decade at an annual rate of 0.1%. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, our Real Estate portfolio provided 72% net operating income margins and 67% Free Cash Flow margins.  

Redevelopment 

 
Our second line of business is the redevelopment and limited development of apartment communities. Through these activities, we expect to 
create value by repositioning communities within our portfolio. We measure the rate and quality of financial returns by NAV creation, an important 
component of Economic Income, our primary measure of long-term financial performance. Over the past five years, we have spent approximately 
$1.0  billion  on  redevelopment  and  development,  resulting  in  estimated  value  creation  of  approximately  $400.0  million.  We  also  undertake  limited 
ground-up development when warranted by risk-adjusted  

19 

 
Table of Contents 

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 favor redevelopment because it permits adjustment to the scope and timing of spending 
to align with changing market conditions and customer preferences. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we invested $175.9 million in redevelopment and development. 

In Boulder, Colorado, we have invested $68.9 million in the development of Parc Mosaic, a 226-unit apartment home community. The site is two 
miles from the new Google campus and is across the street from Ball Aerospace’s Technology Campus and Foothills Hospital. Building in Boulder 
is highly regulated and new supply is limited, notwithstanding higher enrollment at the University of Colorado and increased employment generally.  

At the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, we exercised our option to acquire approximately two acres of land adjacent to our 21 
Fitzsimons apartment community, and broke ground on the development of The Fremont, a 253-apartment home community. We expect to invest 
approximately $87.0 million to construct the community, which is expected to be ready for occupancy in late 2020. 

We also commenced the next phase of redevelopment at our Flamingo community, located in Miami Beach, bringing our potential net investment 

to $39.7 million. This phase includes extensive redevelopment of retail, leasing, and common areas, including major enhancements to the entryway. 

In Center City, Philadelphia, we completed the redevelopment of Park Towne Place, and as of December 31, 2018, we had leased 95.6% of the 
apartment homes at the community. This multi-year redevelopment of 940 apartment homes, amenities, and common area spaces, was executed on 
plan and leased-up in-line with expectations with expected free cash flow returns of greater than 9%. 

In San Jose, California we completed the redevelopment of Saybrook Pointe, a 324-apartment home, garden-style community. Construction was 
completed on time and in-line with underwritten costs, and lease-up of the community finished ahead of schedule and at rates above underwriting, 
increasing the expected free cash flow return to greater than 14%, a 100 basis point outperformance to underwriting. 

As  of December 31,  2018,  our  total  estimated  net  investment  in  redevelopment  and  development  activities  is $571.2  million,  with  a  projected 
weighted average net operating income yield on these investments of 6.1%, assuming untrended rents. As of December 31, 2018, $361.0 million of 
this total has been funded. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we leased 457 apartment homes at our redevelopment and development communities. At December 31, 
2018, our exposure to lease-up at active redevelopment and development communities was approximately 366 apartment homes, of which 208 were 
being constructed at Parc Mosaic, and 158 were located in four other communities. Additionally, we expect to acquire One Ardmore in 2019 upon its 
completion as part of the Philadelphia portfolio acquisition announced in April 2018. This acquisition will increase our exposure to lease-up risk by 
approximately 100 apartment homes. 

See  below  under  the  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  –  Redevelopment/Development  heading  for  additional  information  regarding  our 

redevelopment and development investment during the year ended December 31, 2018. 

Portfolio Management 

Our portfolio of apartment communities is diversified across  “A,” “B,”  and “C+” price points, averaging  “B/B+” in quality and is diversified 
across several of the largest markets in the U.S. We measure the quality of apartment communities in our Real Estate 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 
and analysis. Under this rating system, we classify as “A” quality apartment communities those earning rents greater than 125% of the local market 
average; as “B” quality apartment communities those earning rents between 90% and 125% of the 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 the local market average rents where the portfolio is located. 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.

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, limited developments and selective acquisitions with projected Free Cash Flow internal rates 
of  return  higher  than  expected  from  the  communities  being  sold.  Through  this  disciplined  approach  to  capital  recycling,  we  have  significantly 
increased the quality and expected growth rate of our portfolio.

(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. 

The quality of our portfolio improved through value created by our redevelopment and transaction activities, contributing to the increase in 
average revenue per apartment home. Our average revenue per apartment home was $2,126 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, a 6.4% 
compounded annual growth rate compared to 2015. This increase is due to growth in Same Store revenue as well as our acquisition activities, lease-
up  of  redevelopment  and  acquisition  communities,  and  the  sale  of  communities  with  average  monthly  revenues  per  apartment  home  lower  than 
those of the retained 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 Free Cash Flow margins; and maintain sufficient geographic and price point diversification to limit volatility and concentration risk. 

Apartment Community Acquisitions 

We evaluate potential acquisitions with an eye for unique and opportunistic investments, and fund acquisitions pursuant to our “paired trade” 

discipline. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we acquired six apartment communities. We acquired for $307.9 million four apartment communities in 
the Philadelphia area including 665 apartment homes and 153,000 square feet of office and retail space. We also acquired for $160.0 million Bent Tree 
Apartments,  a 748-apartment  home  community  in  Fairfax  County,  Virginia,  and  for  $29.7  million  Avery  Row,  a 67-apartment  home  community  in 
Arlington, Virginia.  

In  addition  to  the  four  communities  in  Philadelphia  that  were  acquired  in  2018,  we  also  agreed  last  year  to  purchase  a  fifth  community,  One 

Ardmore, upon completion of its construction in the first half of 2019. 

Dispositions 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  we  sold  for  $590.0  million  our  Asset  Management  business  and  four  affordable  apartment 
communities  located  in  the  Hunters  Point  area  of  San  Francisco.  After  payment  of  transaction  costs  and  repayment  of  property-level  debt 
encumbering the Hunters Point apartment communities, net proceeds to us were $512.2 million.  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we also sold for $242.3 million four apartment communities with 1,334 apartment homes, which were 
previously  included  in  our  Real  Estate  segment.  Net  proceeds  to  us  were  $230.1  million.  Two  of  these  apartment  communities  were  located  in 
southern Virginia, one was located in suburban Maryland, and one was located in northern Philadelphia.  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold our interests in the entities owning the La Jolla Cove property in settlement of legal actions 
filed in 2014 by a group of disappointed buyers who had hoped to acquire the property. We provided seller financing with a stated value of $48.6 
million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $5.0 million upon the sale. 

In January 2019, we sold two apartment communities with 782 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $141.2 million. One community was located 

in Schaumberg, Illinois and the other located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. 

 
  
  
  
  
Proceeds  from  the  2018  and  2019  sales  were  used  to  fund  accretive  investments  in  community  acquisitions,  capital  enhancements, 
redevelopments and share repurchases, representing continued execution of our paired trade strategy. This reallocation of $1.1 billion in capital 
increased expected Free Cash Flow internal rates of return by 420 basis points.

Balance Sheet 

Leverage 

Our  leverage  strategy  seeks  to  increase  financial  returns  while  using  leverage  with  appropriate  caution.  We  limit  risk  through  balance  sheet 
structure, employing low leverage, primarily non-recourse and long-dated property debt; build financial flexibility by maintaining ample unused and 
available credit as well as holding properties with substantial value unencumbered by property debt; and use 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 the 
revolving credit facility and outstanding preferred equity. For additional information regarding our leverage, please see the discussion under the 
Liquidity and Capital Resources heading. 

Leverage Ratios 

We  target  the  ratio  of  Proportionate  Debt  and  Preferred  Equity  to  Adjusted  EBITDA  to  be  below  7.0x  and  we  target  the  ratio  of  Adjusted 
EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends to be greater than 2.5x. Our leverage ratios for the three months ended December 31, 
2018, are presented below: 

Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDA 

Proportionate Debt and Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA 

Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense 

Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends 

6.8x 

7.2x 

3.8x 

3.4x 

Our Adjusted EBITDA has been calculated on a pro forma basis to adjust for significant items impacting the three months ended December 31, 
2018 for which annualization would distort the results. Leverage ratios are elevated by 0.5x due to the use of debt to fund temporarily the Aimco 
common share repurchases completed during the three months ended December 31, 2018. We intend to reduce our Proportionate Debt and Preferred 
Equity to Adjusted EBITDA to 6.9x by the end of 2019 from earnings growth, primarily due to increasing contribution from Same Store apartment 
communities and reduction of debt balances due to regularly-scheduled debt amortization and apartment community sales, partially offset by the 
loss of earnings from communities sold. As used in the ratios above, Preferred Equity represents Aimco’s preferred stock and the Aimco Operating 
Partnership’s preferred OP units.  

Refinancing Activity 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we addressed approximately half of our property loans maturing in 2019, 2020, and 2021. We placed 
$867.4 million of new loans, $740.4 million of fixed-rate loans at a weighted average interest rate of 4.20% and a weighted average term of 9.3 years, 
and $127.0 million of variable-rate loans with rates floating at 115 basis points over 30-day LIBOR and a weighted average term of 5.1 years. This 
refinancing activity results in an annual interest savings of $13.0 million.  

Liquidity 

Our  liquidity  consists  of  cash  balances  and  available  capacity  on  our  revolving  line  of  credit.  During  the  year  ended December 31,  2018, we 
exercised  our  option  to  expand  our  revolving  credit  facility  by  $200.0  million,  bringing  the  total  borrowing  capacity  to  $800.0  million.  As  of 
December 31, 2018, we had cash and restricted cash of  $72.6 million and had the capacity to borrow up to  $632.5 million on our revolving credit 
facility, after consideration of $7.1 million letters of credit backed by the facility. We use our credit facility primarily for working capital and other 
short-term purposes and to secure letters of credit. 

We manage our financial flexibility by maintaining an investment grade rating and holding apartment communities that are unencumbered by 
property  debt.  At  December 31,  2018,  we  held  unencumbered  apartment  communities  with  an  estimated  fair  market  value  of  approximately  $2.7 
billion, up 50% from December 31, 2017. 

Two credit rating agencies rate our creditworthiness, using different methodologies and ratios for assessing our credit, and both have rated our 
credit and outlook as BBB- (stable), an investment grade rating. Although some of the ratios they use are similar to those we use to measure our 
leverage, there are differences in our methods of calculation and therefore our leverage ratios disclosed above are not indicative of the ratios that 
may be calculated by these agencies. 

22 

 
 
Table of Contents 

Equity Capital Activities 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased 8.7 million shares of common stock, of which 0.5 million settled in January 2019, all for 
$394.1 million, at a weighted average price of $45.33 per share, approximately a 20% discount to our published NAV per share. Approximately half of 
the repurchases were funded with proceeds from 2018 and January 2019 property sales at a premium to the values ascribed to these communities in 
our published NAV. The remaining half of repurchases are temporarily funded with borrowings on our credit facility. We expect to repay these 
borrowings with proceeds from the sale of communities now under contract, again at prices greater than those used in our published NAV. With the 
completion of these transactions, we will have increased NAV by an estimated $0.67 per share. 

The 2019 property sales necessary to fund our share repurchases are expected to generate taxable gains of $285 million, which is in excess of our 
regular quarterly dividend. Accordingly, on February 3, 2019, Aimco’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend on the common stock that 
consists of $67.1 million in cash and 4.5 million shares of common stock. The special dividend will be payable on March 22, 2019, to stockholders of 
record as of February 22, 2019. The special dividend also includes the regular quarterly cash dividend, which for 2019 is expected to be $0.39 per 
share, which represents an increase of 3% compared to cash dividends paid during 2018. 

Stockholders will have the opportunity to elect to receive the special dividend in the form of all cash or all stock, subject to proration if either 
option is oversubscribed. Based on Aimco’s closing share price on February 15, 2019, we estimate the aggregate value of the special dividend to be 
approximately $290.3 million. However, the actual value will vary depending on the price of Aimco common stock on the dividend valuation dates 
(March 11 and 12, 2019).  

In  order  to  neutralize  the  dilutive  impact  of  the  stock  issued  in  the  special  dividend,  Aimco’s  Board  also  authorized  a  reverse  stock  split, 
effective on February 20, 2019. 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 transactions. Some stockholders may have more Aimco 
shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections. The reverse split will facilitate comparability of Aimco per share results before 
and after these transactions.  

In aggregate, these transactions: 

Increase NAV per share by 1%; 

• 
•  Do not affect Aimco’s regular quarterly cash dividend; 
•  Reduce the number of Aimco shares outstanding by 6% (as a result of the share repurchases);
•  Minimize the aggregate tax paid by Aimco and its stockholders;
•  Are leverage neutral; and 
•  Result in no change in the number of shares outstanding (as a result of the special dividend and the reverse stock split), thereby improving 

comparability of per share results. 

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 based on succession planning and talent development to produce a 
strong, stable team that is the enduring foundation of our success. In 2018, we were recognized by the Denver Post as a Top Work Place for the 
sixth consecutive year, an accomplishment shared with only seven other companies in Colorado.  

Key Financial Indicators 

The  key  financial  indicators  that  we  use  in  managing  our  business  and  in  evaluating  our  operating  performance  are  Economic  Income,  our 
measure of long-term total return, and AFFO, our measure of current return. In addition to these indicators, we evaluate our operating performance 
and financial condition using: Pro forma FFO; Free Cash Flow; Same Store property net operating income; proportionate property net operating 
income; average revenue per effective apartment home; leverage ratios; and net leverage.

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 consolidated financial statements in Item 8.  

Overview 

2018 compared to 2017  

Net income attributable to Aimco and net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership increased by $350.5 million and $370.4 million, 
respectively,  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  as  compared  to  2017.  The  increase  in  income  was  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  gain  on 
dispositions  of  real  estate,  including  the  2018  sale  of  our  Asset  Management  business,  and  results  of  operations  described  more  fully  below, 
partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from redeveloped and developed apartment homes placed into service. 

2017 compared to 2016  

Net income attributable to Aimco and net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership decreased by $114.6 million and $120.0 million, 
respectively, for the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  as  compared  to 2016.  The  decrease  in  income  was  principally  due  to  a  decrease  in  gain  on 
dispositions of real estate and an increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from redeveloped apartment homes placed into service and the 
completion of One Canal and the acquisition of Indigo in 2016, partially offset by improved operating results. 

The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting the results of operations of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in 

more detail. 

Property Operations 

As described under the preceding Executive Overview heading, we have a single reportable segment, Real Estate, which consists of market rate 

apartment communities in which we hold a substantial equity ownership interest. 

We use proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating performance of our Real Estate portfolio. Proportionate property 
net  operating  income  reflects  our  share  of  rental  and  other  property  revenues,  excluding  resident  utility  reimbursement,  less  direct  property 
operating  expenses,  net  of  resident  utility  reimbursement,  and  including  real  estate  taxes,  for  consolidated  apartment  communities  we  manage. 
Accordingly, the results of operations of our Real Estate segment discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis and exclude the results 
of four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes that we neither manage nor consolidate. Beginning in 2018, our segment results below 
reflect  utility  reimbursements  as  a  reduction  of  the  corresponding  expense.  We  have  revised  the  2017  and  2016  amounts  to  conform  to  this 
presentation.  

We do not include offsite costs associated with property management or casualty-related amounts in our assessment of segment performance. 

Accordingly, these items are not allocated to our segment results discussed below.  

Refer  to  Note  12  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  Item  8  for  further  discussion  regarding  our  reportable  segment,  including  a 

reconciliation of these proportionate amounts to consolidated rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses. 

Real Estate Proportionate Property Net Operating Income 

We classify apartment communities within our Real Estate segment as Same Store and Other Real Estate. Same Store communities are those 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. Other Real Estate includes apartment communities that do not meet the 
Same  Store  definition,  including,  but  not  limited  to:  redevelopment  and  development  apartment  communities,  which  are  those  currently  under 
construction that have not achieved a stabilized level of operations 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;  acquisition  apartment  communities,  which  are  those  we  have 
acquired since the beginning of a two-year comparable period; and communities that we expect to sell within 12 months but do not yet meet the 
criteria to be classified as held for sale.

As  of December 31,  2018,  our  Real  Estate  segment  consisted  of 93  Same  Store  communities  with 25,905  apartment  homes  and  35 Other Real 

Estate communities with 9,720 apartment homes. 

From  December 31, 2017  to  December 31,  2018,  on  a  net  basis,  our  Same  Store  portfolio  increased  by  one community and  decreased by  481 

apartment homes. These changes consisted of: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the  addition  of  one  developed  apartment  community  with  91  apartment  homes  and  one  redeveloped  apartment  community  with  104 
apartment homes that were classified as Same Store upon maintaining stabilized operations for the entirety of the periods presented; 

the addition  of  one  acquired apartment community with 115 apartment homes that was classified as Same Store because we have now 
owned it for the entirety of the periods presented; 

the addition of one apartment community with 492 apartment homes which we no longer expect to sell within 12 months; 

the reduction of one apartment community with 821 apartment homes sold during the period; 

the reduction of one apartment community with 94 apartment homes we expect to sell during 2019; and

the reduction of one apartment community with 368 apartment homes classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018. 

As of December 31, 2018, our Other Real Estate communities included:  

• 

• 

• 

13 apartment communities with 6,294 apartment homes in redevelopment or development; 

7 apartment communities with 1,943 apartment homes recently acquired; and

15 apartment communities with 1,483 apartment homes that do not meet the definition of Same Store because they are either subject to 
agreements that limit the amount by which we may increase rents or have not reached or maintained a stabilized level of occupancy as of 
the beginning of a two-year comparable period, often due to a casualty event.  

Our Real Estate segment results for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, as presented below, are based on the apartment community 

classifications as of December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, our Real Estate segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $56.9 

million, or 10.2%. 

Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $12.8 million, or 3.1%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $17.5 
million,  or  3.1%,  increase  in  rental  and  other  property  revenues  due  to  higher  average  monthly  revenues  of  $50  per  Aimco  apartment  home 
comprised of increases in rental rates and a 50 basis point increase in average daily occupancy. Renewal rents, which is the rent paid by an existing 
resident who renewed a lease compared to the rent paid prior to renewal, were up 4.5% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and new lease rents, 
which is the rent paid by a new resident compared to the rent paid by the previous resident of the same apartment home, were up 1.5%, resulting in 
a weighted average increase of 3.0%. The increase in Same Store rental and other property revenues was partially offset by a $4.7 million, or 3.3%, 
increase in property operating expenses, primarily due to increases in real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance costs. During the year ended

December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility costs, real estate taxes and insurance, increased by $1.5 
million, or 2.0%. 

The  proportionate  property  net  operating  income  of  Other  Real  Estate  communities  increased by  $44.2  million,  or 31.4%,  for  the year  ended 

December 31, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to: 

• 

• 

• 

a  $24.1  million  increase  in  property  net  operating  income  due  to  the  2018  acquisition  of  the  four  Philadelphia  communities,  Bent  Tree 
Apartments and Avery Row, as well as the stabilization of Indigo; 

an  $11.0  million  increase  in  property  net  operating  income  due  to  leasing  activities  at  redevelopment  and  development  communities, 
partially offset by decreases due to apartment homes taken out of service for redevelopment; and 

higher property net operating income of $9.1 million from other communities, primarily the effect of our increased ownership interest in the 
Palazzo communities from our June 2017 reacquisition of a 47% limited partner interest in the related joint venture. 

As  of  December 31,  2017,  as  defined  by  our  segment  performance  metrics,  our  Real  Estate  portfolio  consisted  of  90  Same  Store  apartment 

communities with 25,197 apartment homes and 32 Other Real Estate communities with 8,845 apartment homes. 

As of December 31, 2017, our Other Real Estate communities included:  

• 

• 

• 

15 apartment communities with 6,386 apartment homes in redevelopment or development; 

2 apartment communities with 578 apartment homes recently acquired; and

15 apartment communities with 1,881 apartment homes that do not meet the definition of Same Store because they are either subject to 
agreements that limit the amount by which we may increase rents or have not reached or maintained a stabilized level of occupancy as of 
the beginning of a two-year comparable period, often due to a casualty event.  

Our Real Estate segment results for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as presented below, are based on the apartment community 
classifications as of December 31, 2017, and exclude amounts related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale during 2018. The 
results of operations for these communities are reflected in the comparable periods in the tables below.

For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, our Real Estate segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $48.6 

million, or 9.5%. 

Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $15.5 million, or 4.0%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $17.3 
million, or 3.3%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average revenues of approximately $59 per effective home, comprised 
primarily of increases in rental rates. Renewal rents, which is the rent paid by an existing resident who renewed a lease compared to the rent paid 
prior to renewal, were up 4.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017, and new lease rents, which is the rent paid by a new resident compared to the 
rent paid by the previous resident of the same apartment home, were up 0.6%, resulting in a weighted average increase of  2.5%. The increase in 
Same Store rental and other property revenues was partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 1.3%, increase in property operating expenses, primarily due 
to

increases in real estate taxes. During the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility 
costs, real estate taxes and insurance, decreased by $1.6 million, or 2.1%. 

The  proportionate  property  net  operating  income  of  Other  Real  Estate  communities  increased by  $33.1  million,  or 27.7%,  for  the year  ended 

December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to: 

• 

• 

redevelopment and lease-up activities during the year ended December 31, 2017, which helped contribute to incremental property net 
operating income of $20.9 million compared to 2016; and  

higher property net operating income of $12.0 million from other communities, including the effect of our increased ownership interest 
in the Palazzo communities from our June 2017 reacquisition of the 47% limited partner interest in the related joint venture. 

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations 

Operating  income  amounts  not  attributed  to  our  Real  Estate  segment  include  offsite  costs  associated  with  property  management,  casualty 
losses, and the results of apartment communities sold or held for sale, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our Real 
Estate segment for purposes of evaluating segment performance, as described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.  

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, casualty losses totaled $4.0 million, $8.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Casualty 
losses during the year ended December 31, 2018 included several claims, primarily due to storm and fire damage, partially offset by recovery from 
insurance carriers for insured losses in excess of policy limits. Casualty losses were elevated during the year ended December 31, 2017, primarily due 
to hurricane damage. 

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, apartment communities previously in our Real Estate portfolio that were sold or classified 

as held for sale generated net operating income of $22.3 million, $59.6 million and $79.7 million, respectively. 

Asset Management Results 

Prior  to  the  July  2018  sale  of  our  Asset  Management  business,  we  provided  asset  management  and  other  services  to  certain  consolidated 
partnerships owning apartment communities that qualify for low-income housing tax credits and are structured to provide for the pass-through of 
tax credits and tax deductions to their partners. 

Contribution  from  Asset  Management  in  our  consolidated  financial  statements  included:  fees  and  other  amounts  paid  to  us  from  the  net 
operating  income  of  partnerships  served  by  our  Asset  Management  business,  less  interest  expense  incurred  on  non-recourse  property  debt 
obligations of the partnerships; income associated with delivery of tax credits to the third-party investors in the partnerships; and transactional 
revenue and other income less asset management expenses, which included certain allocated offsite costs related to the operation of this business. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, contribution from Asset Management decreased $19.3 million due to its July 2018 sale. 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, contribution from Asset Management decreased $8.8 million due to decreases in tax 

credit income as the result of delivering final credits and acquiring certain partners’ interests in the partnerships, as well as transactional revenues. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  compared  to  2017,  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  by  $11.6  million  primarily  due  to 
apartment homes acquired in 2018 and renovated apartment homes placed in service after their completion, partially offset by decreases associated 
with apartment communities sold. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017  compared  to  2016,  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  by  $33.1  million  primarily  due  to 
renovated  apartment  homes  placed  in  service  after  their  completion,  a  full  year  of  depreciation  following  the  2016  completion  of  our  One  Canal 
development and 2016 acquisition of Indigo, and other capital additions, partially offset by decreases associated with apartment communities sold.  

General and Administrative Expenses 

In recent years, we have worked toward simplifying our business, including the sale of our Asset Management Business, which allowed us to 

reduce overhead and other costs. This simplification and our scale reductions have allowed us to reduce our offsite  

27 

 
 
Table of Contents 

costs, which consist of general and administrative expenses, property management expenses and investment management expenses, by $6.4 million, 
or 8.6%, over the last three years.  

For  the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to  2017, general and administrative expenses  increased $2.6  million, primarily due to higher 

variable incentive compensation cost. 

For  the year  ended  December  31,  2017 compared to  2016,  general  and  administrative  expenses decreased  $3.1 million,  primarily  due  to  lower 

personnel and related costs including incentive compensation, professional services, technology costs and other corporate costs. 

Other Expenses, Net 

Other  expenses,  net  includes  costs  associated  with  our  risk  management  activities,  partnership  administration  expenses  and  certain  non-

recurring items. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, other expenses, net decreased by $7.4 million, primarily due to the resolution of our 

litigation against Airbnb, and settlement of litigation related to the challenge to the title of the La Jolla Cove property which we acquired in 2014. 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, other expenses, net decreased by $3.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to the 
2016  recognition  of  estimated  future  environmental  clean-up  and  abatement  costs  associated  with  the  matters  discussed  in  Note  5  to  the 
consolidated financial statements in Item 8, partially offset by legal costs we incurred related to a challenge to the title of the La Jolla Cove property. 

Provision for Real Estate Impairment Loss 

We recognized no provisions for impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2016. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we agreed to sell our interests in the entities owning the La Jolla Cove property in settlement of legal 
actions filed in 2014 by a group of disappointed buyers who had hoped to acquire the property. As a result of the settlement, we recognized in our 
2017  results  a  gross  impairment  loss  of  $35.8  million,  $25.6  million  of  which  related  to  the  establishment  of  a  deferred  tax  liability  assumed  in 
connection  with  our  acquisition  of  the  business  entities.  The  tax  liability  was  assumed  by  the  buyer,  resulting  in  no  economic  loss  to  us.  The 
remaining $10.2 million loss was offset by cash distributions paid to us during our ownership and avoided legal costs for continued litigation. On an 
economic basis, we agreed to sell these entities at roughly our purchase price, adjusted for retained cash distributions and avoided legal costs. 

Interest Income 

For the  year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, interest income increased $2.6  million, primarily due to interest earned on the seller 

financing notes received as consideration in the sale of the La Jolla Cove property. 

Interest Expense 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  compared  to  2017,  interest  expense,  which  includes  the  amortization  of  debt  issuance  costs  and 
amortization of deferred financing costs, increased by $6.0 million, or 3.1%. The increase was primarily due to debt prepayment penalties of $14.9 
million incurred in connection with 2018 property-level debt refinancing activity undertaken to refinance property-level debt that was scheduled to 
mature  in  2019,  2020,  and  2021,  partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in  mortgage  interest  expense  for  communities  sold  and  the  sale  of  the  Asset 
Management business in July 2018, and lower corporate-level interest. 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, interest expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 0.9%. The decrease was primarily due to 
lower average outstanding balances on non-recourse property debt for our Real Estate apartment communities and lower interest rates, resulting in 
an  $11.9  million  reduction  in  interest  expense.  These  decreases  were  partially  offset  by  higher  amounts  outstanding  on  corporate  borrowings 
(including our term loan and incremental line borrowings used to temporarily fund the reacquisition of the Palazzo limited partner interests) and a 
decrease in capitalized interest associated with our redevelopment and development activities. 

Other, Net 

Other,  net  includes  our  equity  in  the  income  or  loss  of  unconsolidated  real  estate  partnerships,  and  the  results  of  operations  related  to  the 

NAPICO business, which we accounted for under the profit sharing method prior to the derecognition of the final property during 2017.  

 
28 

 
Table of Contents 

For the  year ended December 31, 2018 compared to  2017, other, net  decreased by  $7.4 million, primarily due to the derecognition of the final 
NAPICO property in 2017, which resulted in a gain. For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, other, net increased by $2.1 million, 
also attributed to gain recognized upon the derecognition of a NAPICO property.

(1)  Net proceeds are after repayment of debt, if any, net working capital settlements, payment of transaction costs and debt prepayment penalties, if 

applicable. 

The apartment communities sold from our Real Estate portfolio during 2018, 2017 and 2016 were primarily located outside of our primary markets 
or in lower-rated  locations  within  our  primary  markets  and  had  average  revenues  per  apartment  home  significantly  below  those  of  our  retained 
portfolio.  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold for $590 million our Asset Management business and our four Hunters Point communities. 

Please refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for further details regarding this sale. 

Income Tax Benefit 

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 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, 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 consolidated 
statements of operations. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 2017, income tax benefit decreased by $17.8 million, from $30.8 million to $13.0 million. The 
decrease is primarily due to the reversal of a $19.3 million net tax benefit we recognized as a result of the December 2017 tax reform legislation in 2017 
(as further discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8) and higher tax expense related to gains on sale of real estate for 
communities held through TRS entities.  

For the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016, income tax benefit increased by $12.0 million, from $18.8 million to $30.8 million. The 
increase  is  primarily  due  to  lower  tax  expense  on  the  gains  of  sale  of  apartment  communities,  higher  net  operating  losses  at  the  TRS  entities 
(including  the  La  Jolla  Cove  impairment  loss  discussed  above),  higher  tax  benefit  associated  with  low-income  housing  tax  credits,  and  the  $0.5 
million  net  tax  benefit  we  recognized  for  December  2017  tax  reform  legislation  (as  further  discussed  in  Note  9  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements in Item 8). 

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships 

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships reflects the results of our consolidated real estate partnerships allocated to the 
owners who are not affiliated with Aimco. The amounts of income or loss of our consolidated real estate partnerships that we allocate to owners not 
affiliated with Aimco include their share of property management fees, interest on notes and other amounts that we charge to these partnerships.  

For the years ended  December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we allocated net income of $8.2 million, $9.1 million,  and $25.3 million, respectively, to 
noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships. The amount of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests was driven by 
three primary factors: the operations of the consolidated apartment communities; gains on  

29 

 
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
     
    
  
  
Table of Contents 

the sale of apartment communities with noncontrolling interest holders; and the results of operations of the NAPICO business, as further discussed 
below. 

• 

The amount of net income allocated to noncontrolling interests resulting from operations of the consolidated apartment communities was 
$0.3 million, $2.4 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

•  Gains on the sale of apartment communities allocated to noncontrolling interests totaled $7.9 million, $7.3 million and $13.0 million for the 

years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

•  We derecognized the NAPICO business in two transactions, which occurred in 2017 and 2016. We allocated an $8.1 million gain on sale 

and a $0.6 million net loss, respectively, to the noncontrolling interest holders in connection with the 2017 and 2016 transactions. 

Net Income Attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders 

Net income attributable to Aimco preferred stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred unitholders decreased by $3.4 million 
and  $2.9  million,  respectively,  during  the  year  ended  December 31,  2017  as  compared  to  2016.  These  decreases  were  primarily  due  to  Aimco’s 
redemption of its Class Z Preferred Stock in 2016.  

Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership 

In  Aimco’s  consolidated  financial  statements,  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  reflects  the  results  of  the  Aimco 
Operating  Partnership  that  are  allocated  to  the  OP  Unit  holders.  Allocations  to  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership 
fluctuate  in  proportion  to  variations  in  net  income,  as  described  above.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018  compared  to  2017,  net  income 
allocated to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership increased $20.0 million primarily due to the increase in net income, as well 
as an increase in the percentage allocated following the issuance of OP Units as partial consideration for the acquisition of the four Philadelphia 
properties,  discussed  further  in  Note  3  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Net  income  allocated  to  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Aimco 
Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased $5.9 million as compared to 2016 due to the decrease in net income between 
the periods. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe 
that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated 
financial statements. 

Capitalized Costs 

We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital additions activities, including redevelopments and 
developments,  other  tangible  apartment  community  improvements  and  replacements  of  existing  apartment  community  components.  Included  in 
these capitalized costs are payroll costs associated with time spent by site employees in connection with the planning, execution and control of all 
capital additions activities at the apartment community level. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including 
payroll, at the area operations and corporate levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We also capitalize interest, property taxes and 
insurance  during  periods  in  which  redevelopments  and  developments  are  in  progress.  We  commence  capitalization  of  costs,  including  certain 
indirect costs, incurred in connection with our capital addition activities, at the point in time when activities necessary to get apartment communities 
ready for their intended use begin. These activities include when apartment communities or apartment homes are undergoing physical construction, 
as well as when apartment homes are held vacant in advance of planned construction, provided that other activities such as permitting, planning 
and design are in progress. We cease the capitalization of costs when the apartment communities or components thereof are substantially complete 
and ready for their intended use, which is typically when construction has been completed and apartment homes are available for occupancy. We 
charge  costs  including  ordinary  repairs,  maintenance  and  resident  turnover  costs  to  property  operating  expense,  as  incurred.  Refer  to  the 
discussion  of  investing  activities  within  the  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  section  for  a  summary  of  costs  capitalized  during  the  periods 
presented. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

Real  estate  and  other  long-lived  assets  to  be  held  and  used  are  stated  at  cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization,  unless  the 
carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an apartment community may not be 
recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, 
excluding interest charges, of the apartment community. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we 
recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the apartment community.

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, occasional developments, and selective acquisitions with projected Free Cash Flow internal 
rates of return higher than expected from the communities being sold. As we execute this strategy, we evaluate alternatives to sell or reduce our 
interest  in  apartment  communities  that  do  not  align  with  our  long-term  investment  strategy,  although  there  is  no  assurance  that  we  will  sell  or 
reduce  our  investment  in  such  apartment  communities  during  the  desired  time  frame.  For  any  apartment  communities  that  are  sold  or  meet  the 
criteria to be classified as held for sale during the next 12 months, the reduction in the estimated holding period for these apartment communities 
may result in impairment losses.  

Non-GAAP Measures 

Various of the 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 annual report, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure computed in accordance 
with GAAP are provided. 

We measure our long-term total return using Economic Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined and further described 

below under the Economic Income heading. 

Funds from Operations, or FFO, Pro forma FFO and Adjusted FFO, or AFFO, are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined and further 

described below under the Funds From Operations, Pro forma Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations heading.  

Net Asset Value, or NAV, Free Cash Flow, or FCF, as calculated for our retained portfolio, represents an apartment community’s property net 
operating income, or NOI, 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  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  NOI  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.  

Economic Income 

Economic Income represents stockholder value creation as measured by the change in estimated NAV per share plus cash dividends per share. 
We believe Economic Income is important to investors as it represents a measure of the total return we have earned for our stockholders. NAV, as 
used in our calculation of Economic Income, is a non-GAAP measure and represents the estimated fair value of assets net of liabilities attributable 
to Aimco’s common stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common unitholders on a diluted basis. We believe NAV is considered 
useful by some investors in real estate companies 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. 
We believe it enhances comparability among companies that have differences in their accounting. While NAV is not identical to liquidation value in 
that  some  costs  and  benefits  are  disregarded,  it  is  often  considered  a  floor  with  upside  for  value  ascribed  to  the  operating  platform.  NAV  also 
provides an objective basis for the perceived quality and predictability of future cash flows as well as their expected growth as these are factors 
considered by real estate investors.  

Our estimated NAV per share and the quoted share price of Aimco Common Stock are not necessarily equal. Although we use Economic Income 
and NAV for comparability in assessing our value creation compared to other REITs, not all REITs publish these measures and those who do may 
not compute them in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these measures is comparable with that 
of other REITs. 

We report NAV on a semiannual basis, as of the end of the first and third quarters. Economic Income for 2018 was calculated using the change 
in  NAV  per  share  between  September  30,  2017  and  2018.  NAV  will  fluctuate  over  time.  This  NAV  information  should  not  be  relied  upon  as 
representative of the amount a stockholder could expect to receive in a liquidation event, now or in the future. Certain assets are excluded as are 
certain  liabilities,  such  as  taxes  and  transaction  costs  associated  with  a  liquidation.  In  addition,  NAV  is  based  on  management’s  subjective 
judgments, assumptions and opinions as of the date of determination. We assume no obligation to revise or update NAV to reflect subsequent or 
future  events  or  circumstances.  Our  NAV  estimate  is  subject  to  a  variety  of  risks  and  uncertainties,  many  of  which  are  beyond  our  control, 
including, without limitation, those described in Item 1A. Risk Factors.

(1)   We compute NAV by estimating the value of our communities, using methods we believe are appropriate based on the characteristics of the communities. 
For purposes of estimating NAV, real estate at fair value disclosed above includes wholly owned apartment communities plus our proportionate share of 
communities held by non-wholly owned entities (both consolidated and unconsolidated). A reconciliation of our consolidated apartment communities to 
those communities included in total real estate at fair value in the table above is as follows: 

Consolidated apartment communities as of September 30, 2018

For valuation purposes at September 30, 2018, we segregated these 133 communities into the following categories: stabilized portfolio and non-

stabilized portfolio.  

(2)  As  of  September  30, 2018,  our  stabilized  portfolio  includes  122  communities  that  had  reached  stabilized  operations  and  were  not  expected  to  be  sold 
within twelve months. We value this portfolio using a direct capitalization rate method based on the annualized proportionate property NOI for the three 
months ended September 30, 2018, less a 2% management fee. Market property management fees range between 1.5% and 3.0% with larger, higher quality 
portfolios at the lower end of that range. The weighted average estimated capitalization rate as applied to the annualized property NOI was 4.96%, which 
we  calculate  on  a  property-by-property  basis,  based  primarily  on  information  published  by  a  third-party.  Community  characteristics  that  we  use  to 
determine  comparable  market  capitalization  rates  include:  the  market  in  which  the  community  is  located;  infill  or  suburban  location  within  the  market; 
property quality grade; and whether the community is stabilized or value-add. We used this valuation method for approximately 84% of real estate fair 
value at September 30, 2018.  

(3)  The  non-stabilized  portfolio  includes  six  apartment  communities  under  redevelopment  or  development  at  September  30,  2018.  We  valued  these 
communities by discounting projected future cash flows. Key assumptions used to estimate the value of these communities include: revenues, which are 
based on in-place rents, projected submarket rent growth to community stabilization based on projections published by third parties and adjusted for the 
impacts of redevelopment; expenses, which are based on estimated operating costs adjusted for inflation and a management fee equal to 2% of projected 
revenue; estimated remaining costs to complete construction; and a terminal value based on current market capitalization rates plus five basis points per 
year from September 30, 2018 to community stabilization. Discount rates applied to estimated future cash flows of these communities ranged between 
6.30% and 6.40% depending on construction and lease-up progress as of September 30, 2018. We used this valuation method for approximately 12% of 
the  real  estate  fair  value  at  September  30,  2018.  The  non-stabilized  portfolio  also  included  five  recently  acquired  apartment  communities  valued  at 
purchase price and certain land investments at Aimco’s carrying value that represent approximately 4% of real estate fair value at September 30, 2018. Our 
calculation of NAV does not include such future values as air rights, the potential for increased density, nor the potential for completion of future phases 
of redevelopments. 

(4)  We calculate the fair value of indebtedness related to real estate as the carrying value of our non-recourse property debt adjusted for the mark-to-market 
asset  on  our  fixed-rate  property  debt  as  of  September  30,  2018,  plus  the  outstanding  balances  on  the  revolving  line  of  credit  and  term  loan,  which 
approximate their fair value as of September 30, 2018. The fair value of debt takes into account the duration of the existing property debt, as well as its 
loan to value ratio and debt service coverage. For purposes of estimating NAV, the fair value of debt includes our proportionate share of debt related to 
non-wholly owned entities (both consolidated and unconsolidated).

(5)  Other  tangible  assets  consist  of  cash,  restricted  cash,  accounts  receivable  and  other  assets  for  which  we  reasonably  expect  to  receive  cash  through  the 
normal course of operations or another future event. Other tangible liabilities consist of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other tangible liabilities we 
reasonably  expect  to  settle  in  cash  through  the  normal  course  of  operations  or  another  future  event.  Other  tangible  assets  and  liabilities  were  generally 
valued at their carrying amounts and reduced by the noncontrolling interests’ portion of these amounts and exclude intangible assets and liabilities reflected 
on  our  consolidated  balance  sheet.  The  fair  value  of  our  preferred  stock  is  estimated  as  the  closing  share  price  on  September  30,  2018,  less  accrued 
dividends. Such accrued dividends are assumed to be accounted for in the closing share price and these amounts are also included in other tangible liabilities. 
For purposes of this NAV calculation, no realizable value has been assigned to goodwill or other intangible assets. Deferred income, which includes below 
market lease liabilities, recognized in accordance with GAAP in connection with the purchase of the related apartment communities, and cash received in 
prior periods and required to be deferred under GAAP, is excluded from this NAV calculation. 

(6)  Total shares, units and dilutive share equivalents represents Common Stock, OP Units, participating unvested restricted shares and the dilutive effect of 

common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2018.  

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

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. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or 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, current or deferred, directly associated with a gain or loss on 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 FFO. We calculate FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted) by subtracting 
dividends on preferred stock and amounts allocated from FFO to participating securities. 

In addition to 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 performance. Pro forma FFO represents FFO attributable to Aimco common stockholders (diluted), excluding preferred equity 
redemption-related amounts and certain other income or costs, adjusted for noncontrolling interests. Preferred equity redemption-related amounts 
(gains or losses) are items that periodically affect our operating results and we exclude these items from our calculation of Pro forma FFO because 
such amounts are not representative of our operating performance.  

In computing 2018 Pro forma FFO, we made a number of adjustments. We were engaged in litigation with Airbnb, which was resolved during the 
year. Due to the unpredictable nature of these proceedings, related amounts recognized, net of income tax effect, have been excluded from Pro forma 
FFO. In connection with the sale of our Asset Management business, we incurred severance costs during 2018. We exclude such costs from Pro 
forma FFO because we believe these costs incurred are closely related to the sale of the business. We also excluded from Pro forma FFO the tax 
benefit  due  to  the  release  of  a  valuation  allowance.  Due  to  the  sale  of  the  Asset  Management  business,  we  expect  to  realize  our  deferred  tax 
benefits. As a result, we determined the valuation allowance recorded in connection with recognizing the effect of the 2017 tax reform is no longer 
necessary. We excluded the effect of the establishment of the valuation allowance from Pro forma FFO and as such have excluded the benefit from 
its release. We have also excluded the impact of tax reform. Finally, we addressed approximately half of our property loans maturing in 2019, 2020 
and 2021. In connection with this activity, we incurred debt extinguishment costs, which we have excluded from Pro forma FFO. 

AFFO  represents  Pro  forma  FFO  reduced  by  Capital  Replacements,  which  represents  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 these criteria, and we classify as Capital Replacements those that do not. AFFO is a key financial 
indicator we use to evaluate our operational performance and is one of the factors that we use to determine the amounts of our dividend payments. 

FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income, as 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.

(1)  Represents  the  numerator  for  calculating  Aimco’s  earnings  per  common  share  in  accordance  with  GAAP  (see  Note  10  to  the  consolidated  financial 

statements in Item 8). 

(2)  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  income  taxes  related  to  gain  on  dispositions  and  other  items  includes  tax  on  the  gain  on  the  sale  of  the  Asset 

Management business, as well as tax on the gain on the sale of apartment communities during the year ended December 31, 2018. 

(3)  In connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in December 2017, we recognized income tax benefit during 2017 and adjusted the estimated 

impact of tax reform upon the conclusion of our analysis of the effects during 2018. We have excluded such amounts from Pro forma FFO. 

(4)  Due  to  the  sale  of  the  Asset  Management  business,  we  expect  to  realize  our  deferred  tax  benefits.  As  a  result,  we  have  determined  that  a  valuation 
allowance is no longer necessary. We excluded the effect of the establishment of the valuation allowance from Pro forma FFO and as such have excluded 
the benefit from its release.  

(5)  During 2018, we were engaged in litigation with Airbnb, which was resolved during the year. Due to the unpredictable nature of these proceedings, related 

amounts recognized, net of income tax effect, have been excluded from Pro forma FFO. 

(6)  We  incurred  severance  costs  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  our  Asset  Management  business.  We  exclude  such  costs  from  Pro  forma  FFO  because  we 

believe these costs are closely related to the sale of the business. 

(7)  In  connection  with  2018  refinancing  activity  undertaken  related  to  property-level  debt  scheduled  to  mature  in  2019,  2020  and  2021,  we  incurred  debt 

extinguishment costs, net of income tax effect, which have been excluded from Pro forma FFO. 

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

Refer  to  the  Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  section  for  further  information  regarding  our  capital  investing  activities,  including  Capital 

Replacements. 

The Aimco Operating Partnership does not separately compute or report 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, FFO, 
Pro forma FFO and AFFO amounts on a per unit basis for the Aimco Operating Partnership would be expected to be substantially the same as the 
corresponding per share amounts for Aimco. 

Leverage Ratios 

As discussed under the Balance Sheet and Liquidity heading, as part of our leverage strategy, we target the ratio of Proportionate Debt and 
Preferred Equity to Adjusted EBITDA to be below 7.0x and we target the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred 
Dividends to be greater than 2.5x. We believe these ratios are important measures as they are commonly used by investors and analysts to assess 
the relative financial risk associated with balance sheets of companies within the same industry, and they are believed to be similar to measures 
used by rating agencies to assess entity credit quality.  

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Interest Expense used in our leverage ratios based on the most recent three month amounts, 

annualized. 

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 
secured by apartment communities in the Real Estate portfolio and outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, reduced by our share 
of the cash and restricted cash of our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships owning communities in our Real Estate portfolio, and also by 
our investment in the subordinate tranches of a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, which is essentially an investment in our 
own non-recourse property loans.  

In our Proportionate Debt computation, we increase our recorded debt by unamortized debt issue costs because these amounts represent cash 
expended in earlier periods and do not reduce our contractual obligations, and 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, assuming these amounts 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  Equity,  as  used  in  our  leverage  ratios,  represents  the  redemption  amounts  for  Aimco’s  preferred  stock  and  the  Aimco  Operating 

Partnership’s preferred OP Units. Preferred Equity, although perpetual in nature, is another component of our overall leverage. 

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it allows 
investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis, before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on 
sales of and impairment losses related to real estate, and various other items described below. Adjusted EBITDA represents Aimco’s share of the 
consolidated amount of our net income, adjusted to exclude the effect of the following items for the reasons set forth below:  

•  Adjusted Interest Expense, defined below, to allow investors to compare a measure of our earnings before the effects of our indebtedness 

with that of other companies in the real estate industry; 

• 

• 

• 

• 

preferred dividends, to allow investors to compare a measure of our performance before the effects of our capital structure with that of other 
companies in the real estate industry;  

income  taxes,  to  allow  investors  to  measure  our  performance  independent  of  income  taxes,  which  may  vary  significantly  from  other 
companies within our industry due to leverage and tax planning strategies, among other factors; 

depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on dispositions and impairment losses related to real estate, for similar reasons to those set 
forth in our discussion of FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO in the preceding section; and  

other items, including gains on dispositions of non-depreciable assets, as these are items that periodically affect our operations but that are 
not necessarily representative of our ability to service our debt obligations. 

 
35 

 
Table of Contents 

While Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance and is commonly used in leverage ratios, it does not represent net income as 
defined  by  GAAP,  and  should  not  be  considered  as  an  alternative  to  net  income  in  evaluating  our  performance.  Further,  our  definition  and 
computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.  

Adjusted Interest Expense, as calculated in our leverage ratios, 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 encumbering apartment communities in the Real Estate portfolio and interest expense on 
our term loan and revolving credit facility borrowings. We exclude from our calculation of Adjusted Interest Expense: 

• 

• 

• 

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

the amortization of debt issue costs, as these amounts have been expended in previous periods and are not representative of our current or 
prospective debt service requirements; 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  Dividends  represents  the  preferred  dividends  paid  on  Aimco’s  preferred  stock  and  the  preferred  distributions  paid  on  the  Aimco 
Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units, exclusive of preferred equity redemption related amounts. We add Preferred Dividends to Adjusted 
Interest Expense for a more complete picture of the interest and dividend requirements of our leverage, inclusive of perpetual preferred equity.

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 sales of apartment communities, proceeds from refinancings of existing property debt, borrowings under new property 
debt, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and proceeds from equity offerings. 

Our  principal  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, such as debt maturities, 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. 

As of December 31, 2018, our primary sources of liquidity were as follows: 

•  $36.9 million in cash and cash equivalents;

•  $35.7 million of restricted cash, which consists primarily of escrows related to resident security deposits and reserves and escrows held by 

lenders for capital additions, property taxes and insurance; and 

•  $632.5 million of available capacity to borrow under our revolving credit facility after consideration of $7.1 million of letters of credit backed 

by the facility. 

At December 31, 2018, we also held unencumbered apartment communities with an estimated fair market value of approximately $2.7 billion, up 

50.0% from December 31, 2017. 

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 and many lenders are active in the 
market. However, 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 further debt needs, we may consider alternative sources of liquidity, such as 
reductions in capital spending or proceeds from apartment community dispositions. 

Two credit rating agencies rate our creditworthiness and both have rated our credit and outlook as BBB- (stable), an investment grade rating. 
Our investment grade rating would be useful in accessing capital through the sale of bonds in private or public transactions. However, our intention 
and historical practice has been to raise debt capital in the form of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt, the cost of 
which is generally less than that of recourse debt and the terms of which also provide for greater balance sheet safety. 

As  of  December 31,  2018,  approximately  91.0%  of  our  leverage  consisted  of  property-level,  non-recourse,  long-dated,  amortizing  debt. 
Approximately 93.4%  of  our  property-level debt is fixed-rate, which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and 
inflation. The weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 8.0 years. 

Of our property-level debt, $167.5 million of our unpaid principal balances mature during 2019. On average, 7.6% of our unpaid principal balances 

will mature each year from 2020 through 2022. 

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. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we exercised our $200.0 million expansion option on the credit facility, 
increasing the total capacity to $800.0 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had $160.4 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit 
facility, which represented 3.7% of our total leverage. 

 
As  of  December 31,  2018,  our  outstanding  perpetual  preferred  equity  represented  approximately  5.2%  of  our  total  leverage.  Our  preferred 
securities are perpetual in nature; however, for illustrative purposes, we compute the weighted average maturity of our total leverage assuming a 40-
year maturity on our preferred securities. 

38 

 
Table of Contents 

The  combination  of  non-recourse  property  level  debt,  borrowings  under  our  revolving  credit  facility  and  perpetual  preferred  equity  that 
comprises our total leverage, reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk. The weighted average maturity for our total leverage described above was 
9.5 years as of December 31, 2018.  

Under the revolving credit facility, 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 year ended December 31, 2018, our Fixed Charge Coverage ratio was 2.05x, compared to ratio of 2.01x 
for the year ended December 31, 2017. We expect to remain in compliance with this covenant during the next 12 months.  

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 consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 8 of this report. 

Operating Activities 

For the  year ended December 31, 2018, our net cash provided by operating activities was  $396.4 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 year ended December 31, 2018, increased by $4.3 million compared to 2017, due to improved operating results of our Same Store 
communities, contribution from acquired communities and increased contribution from redevelopment and lease-up communities, partially offset by 
a  decrease  in  the  net  operating  income  associated  with  apartment  communities  we  sold  during  2018  and  our  sale  of  the  Asset  Management 
business.  

Investing Activities 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  net  cash  provided  by  investing  activities  of  $121.8  million  consisted  primarily  of  $708.8  million  in 
proceeds from the disposition of the Asset Management business, four apartment communities located in the Hunters Point area of San Francisco, 
and four other apartment communities, partially offset by the acquisitions of Bent Tree Apartments, Avery Row, four apartment communities in 
Philadelphia, and capital expenditures.  

Capital additions for our Real Estate segment totaled $338.8 million, $321.9 million and $312.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2018, 
2017  and  2016,  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 Real Estate portfolio broadly into six primary categories:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

capital replacements, which represent capital additions made to replace the portion of 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  longer-lived 
materials designed to reduce turnover and maintenance costs, all of which are generally lesser in scope than redevelopment additions and 
do not significantly disrupt property operations;  

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  development  of  apartment 
communities; and  

casualty  capital  additions,  which  represent  construction  and  related  capitalized  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  the  restoration  of  an 
apartment community after a casualty event such as a severe snow storm, hurricane, tornado, flood or fire. 

 
We exclude the amounts of capital spending related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale at the end of the period from the 

foregoing measures.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized $7.6 million, $7.6 million and $9.6 million of interest costs, respectively, and 

$36.8 million, $36.0 million and $32.9 million of other direct and indirect costs, respectively. 

Redevelopment/Development 

We  execute  redevelopments  using  a  range  of  approaches.  We  prefer  to  limit  risk  by  executing  redevelopments  using  a  phased  approach,  in 
which we renovate an apartment community in stages. Smaller phases provide us the flexibility to maintain current earnings while aligning the timing 
of the completed apartment homes with market demand. The following table summarizes ongoing redevelopments of this nature at December 31, 
2018 (dollars in millions):

We  also  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  smaller  redevelopment  phases  are  not  possible,  we  may  engage  in  redevelopment 
activities where an entire building or community is vacated. The following table summarizes our investments related to these developments and

Net investment represents the total actual or estimated investment, net of tax and other credits earned as a direct result of our redevelopment or 

development of the community. For phased redevelopments, potential net investment relates to the current phase of the redevelopment. 

Stabilized Occupancy represents the period in which we expect to achieve stabilized occupancy, generally greater than 90%. 

NOI  Stabilization  represents  the  period  in  which  we  expect  the  communities  to  achieve  stabilized  rents  and  operating  costs,  generally  five 

quarters after occupancy stabilization. 

Our  total  estimated  or  potential  net  investment  in  redevelopment  and  development  is  $571.2  million  with  a  projected  weighted  average  net 
operating income yield on these investments of 6.1%, assuming untrended rents. Of this total, $361.0 million has been funded. We expect to fund 
the remaining redevelopment and development investment through a combination of leverage and proceeds from community sales. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we invested $175.9 million in redevelopment and development activities. 

In Boulder, Colorado, we have invested $68.9 million in the development of Parc Mosaic, a 226-unit apartment home community. The site is two 
miles from the new Google campus and is across the street from Ball Aerospace’s Technology Campus and Foothills Hospital. Building in Boulder 
is highly regulated and new supply is limited, notwithstanding higher enrollment at the University of Colorado and increased employment generally.  

At the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, we exercised our option to acquire approximately two acres of land adjacent to our 21 
Fitzsimons apartment community, and broke ground on the development of The Fremont, a 253-apartment home community. We expect to invest 
approximately $87.0 million to construct the community, which is expected to be ready for occupancy in late 2020. 

We  also  commenced  the  next  phase  of  redevelopment  at  our  Flamingo  community,  located  in  Miami  Beach,  bringing  our  potential  net  new 
investment to $39.7 million. This phase includes extensive redevelopment of retail, leasing, and common areas, including major enhancements to the 
entryway. 

In Center City, Philadelphia, we completed the redevelopment of Park Towne Place, and as of December 31, 2018, we had leased 95.6% of the 
apartment homes at the community. This multi-year redevelopment of 940 apartment homes, amenities, and common area spaces, was executed on 
plan and leased-up in-line with expectations with expected free cash flow returns of 9.2%. 

In San Jose, we completed the redevelopment of Saybrook Pointe, a 324-apartment home, garden-style community. Construction was completed 
on-time and in-line with underwritten costs, and lease-up of the community finished ahead of schedule and at rates above underwriting, increasing 
the expected free cash flow return to 14.3%, a 100 basis point outperformance to underwriting. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we leased 457 apartment homes at our redevelopment and development communities. At December 31, 
2018, our exposure to lease-up at active redevelopment and development communities was approximately 366 apartment homes, of which 208 were 
being constructed at Parc Mosaic, and 158 were located in four other communities. Additionally, we expect to acquire One Ardmore in 2019 upon its 
completion, as part of the Philadelphia portfolio acquisition announced in April 2018. This acquisition will increase our exposure to lease-up risk by 
approximately 100 apartment homes.

We expect our total development and redevelopment spending to range from $225 million to $275 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. 

Financing Activities 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, our net cash used in financing activities of $588.2 million was attributed to the items discussed below. 

Net  borrowings  on  our  revolving  credit  facility  primarily  relate  to  the  timing  of  short-term  working  capital  needs.  During  the  year  ended 

December 31, 2018, we repaid the $250.0 million term loan in full. 

Proceeds  from  non-recourse  property  debt  borrowings  during  the  year  consisted  of  the  closing  of  14  fixed-rate,  amortizing,  non-recourse 
property loans totaling $982.4 million. On a weighted basis, the term of these loans averaged 9.4 years and their interest rates averaged 4.03%, 112 
basis points more than the corresponding Treasury rate at the time of pricing. The net effect of 2018 fixed-rate property debt refinancing activities 
has been to lower our weighted average fixed interest rate by 42 basis points since December 31, 2017, to 4.22%. 

Proceeds from non-recourse property debt borrowing during the period also included the closing of four non-recourse, variable-rate property 
loans totaling $245.6 million. On a weighted basis, the term of these loans averaged 5 years and the loans bear interest at a weighted average rate of 
30-day LIBOR plus 1.20%. The five-year terms fill a void in our laddered maturities and, taken together with the repayment of the variable-rate term 
loan, reduce our exposure to changing short-term interest rates to approximately 9.75% of our leverage. 

Principal payments on property loans during the year totaled $976.1 million, consisting of $82.4 million of scheduled principal amortization and 

repayments of $893.7 million. 

Aimco  common  share  repurchase,  and  OP  unit  and  preferred  partnership  unit  redemptions  during  the  year  totaled  $373.6  million  (plus  an 

additional $20.7 million, which settled in January 2019) and $9.9 million, respectively. 

Net cash used in financing activities also includes $275.3 million of dividend and distribution payments to equity holders, as further detailed in 

the table below.

(1)  Includes  scheduled  principal  amortization  and  maturity  payments  related  to  our  non-recourse  property  debt  secured  by  communities  in  our  Real  Estate 

portfolio. 

(2)  Includes outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility assuming repayment at the contractual maturity date. Our revolving credit facility is subject 

to an annual commitment fee (0.25% of aggregate commitments), which is not included in the amounts above. 

(3)  Includes interest related to both fixed-rate and variable-rate non-recourse property debt, and our variable-rate revolving credit facility borrowings. Interest 
related to variable-rate debt is estimated based on the rate effective at December 31, 2018. Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 
for a description of average interest rates associated with our debt. 

(4)  These ground leases expire in years ranging from 2070 to 2117.
(5)  Represents estimated obligations pursuant to construction contracts related to our redevelopment, development and other capital spending. Refer to Note 5

to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 for additional information regarding these obligations. 

In addition to the amounts presented in the table above, at  December 31, 2018, we had $125.0 million (liquidation value) of Aimco’s perpetual 
preferred stock outstanding with an annual dividend yield of 6.9%, which we expect to, but are not obligated to, redeem during 2019, and $101.3 
million (liquidation value) of redeemable preferred OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership outstanding with annual distribution yields ranging 
from 1.92% to 8.8%. The dividends and distributions that accrue on the perpetual preferred stock and redeemable preferred OP Units are cumulative 
and are paid quarterly. 

Additionally, we may enter into commitments to purchase 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. 

Future Capital Needs 

In addition to the items set forth in “Contractual  Obligations” above, 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. 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

Our chief market risks are refunding risk, that is the availability of property debt or other cash sources to refund maturing property debt, and re-
pricing  risk,  that  is  the  possibility  of  increases  in  base  interest  rates  and  credit  risk  spreads.  We  use  predominantly  long-dated,  fixed-rate, 
amortizing,  non-recourse  property  debt  in  order  to  avoid  the  refunding  and  repricing  risks  of  short-term  borrowings.  We  use  short-term  debt 
financing  and  working  capital  primarily  to  fund  short-term  uses  and  generally  expect  to  refinance  such  borrowings  with  cash  from  operating 
activities, proceeds from apartment community sales, long-term debt or equity financings. We make limited use of derivative financial instruments 
and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes.  

Market Risk Associated with Loans Secured by Our Real Estate Portfolio 

As  of December 31,  2018,  on  a  consolidated  basis,  we  had  approximately  $260.1  million  of  variable-rate  property-level  debt  outstanding  and 
$160.4 million of variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We estimate that a change in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points with 
constant  credit  risk  spreads  would  reduce  or  increase  net  income  attributable  to  Aimco  common  stockholders  and  the  Aimco  Operating 
Partnership’s common unitholders by approximately $4.2 million on an annual basis. 

At December 31, 2018, we had approximately $72.6 million in 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.

Table of Contents 

We estimate the fair value of debt instruments as described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. The estimated fair value 
of total indebtedness was approximately $4.1 billion at December  31,  2018, inclusive of a $43.8 million mark-to-market liability. The mark-to-market 
liability at December 31, 2017 was $92.1 million. 

If market rates for consolidated fixed-rate debt in our Real Estate segment were higher by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the 
estimated  fair  value  of  consolidated  debt  discussed  above  would  decrease  from  $4.1  billion  in  the  aggregate  to  $4.0 billion.  If  market  rates  for 
consolidated debt discussed above were lower by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of consolidated fixed-
rate debt would increase from $4.1 billion in the aggregate to $4.2 billion.

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 its 
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. Based on such evaluation, Aimco’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, 
Aimco’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  

Aimco’s  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  Internal  control  over 
financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our 
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable 
assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with 
generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:  

• 

• 

• 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets;

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our 
management and directors; and  

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could 
have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Projections  of  any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that 
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Management assessed the effectiveness of Aimco’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, 
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). 

Based on their assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, Aimco’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. 

Aimco’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on Aimco’s internal control over financial reporting. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

There has been no change in Aimco’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange 
Act) during the fourth quarter of 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Aimco’s internal control over financial 
reporting.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  A 
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in

company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the 
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

The Shareholders and the Board of Directors 
Apartment Investment and Management Company 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Apartment  Investment  and  Management  Company  (the  Company)  as  of 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three 
years  in  the  period  ended  December 31,  2018,  and  the  related  notes  and  the  financial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  accompanying  Index  to 
Financial  Statements  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)  (PCAOB),  the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework 
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (2013  framework)  and  our  report  dated  February 19,  2019 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 

Adoption of New Accounting Standard 

As  discussed  in  Note  9  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company  changed  its  accounting  for  the  income  tax  consequences  of 

intercompany transfers of assets effective January 1, 2017. 

Basis for Opinion 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with 
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included 
performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing 
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well 
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1994.

The Partners and the Board of Directors 
AIMCO Properties, L.P. 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  AIMCO  Properties,  L.P.  (the “Partnership”)  as of  December 31,  2018 and 
2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period  ended  December 31,  2018,  and  the  related  notes  and  the  financial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  accompanying  Index  to  Financial 
Statements (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, 
in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)  (PCAOB),  the 
Partnership’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December 31,  2018,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 19, 
2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. 

Adoption of New Accounting Standard 

As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership changed its accounting for the income tax consequences of 

intercompany transfers of assets effective January 1, 2017. 

Basis for Opinion 

These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the 
Partnership’s  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  PCAOB  and  are  required  to  be 
independent  with  respect  to  the  Partnership  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included 
performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing 
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in 
the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well 
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

/s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP  

We have served as the Partnership’s auditor since 1994.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY 
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P. 
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2018  

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 limited 
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, owns 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 partnership preferred units, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of December 31, 
2018, after eliminations for units held by consolidated subsidiaries, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 158,140,169  common  partnership  units 
outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, Aimco owned 149,133,826 of the common partnership units (94.3% of the common partnership units) of the 
Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco had outstanding an equal number of shares of its Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common 
Stock. 

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

subsidiaries, collectively. 

As of December 31, 2018, we owned an equity interest in 134 apartment communities with 36,549 apartment homes in our Real Estate portfolio. 
Our Real Estate portfolio, is diversified by both price point and geography and consists of market rate apartment communities in which we own a 
substantial  interest.  We  consolidated  130  of  these  apartment  communities  with  36,407  apartment  homes  and  these  communities  comprise  our 
reportable segment.  

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

Principles of Consolidation 

Aimco’s  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Aimco,  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  and  their 
consolidated  subsidiaries.  The  Aimco  Operating  Partnership’s  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Aimco  Operating 
Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries (see Note 13). All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  

Interests  in  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  that  are  held  by  limited  partners  other  than  Aimco  are  reflected  in  Aimco’s  accompanying 
consolidated  balance  sheets  as  noncontrolling  interests  in  Aimco  Operating  Partnership.  Interests  in  partnerships  consolidated  by  the  Aimco 
Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in 
consolidated real estate partnerships. The assets of real estate partnerships consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership must first be used to 
settle the liabilities of such consolidated real estate partnerships. These consolidated real estate partnerships’ creditors do not have recourse to the 
general credit of the Aimco Operating Partnership.  

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. 

Acquisition of Real Estate and Related Depreciation and Amortization 

We generally recognize the acquisition of apartment communities or interests in partnerships that own apartment communities at our cost. The 

related transaction costs are included in the cost of the acquired apartment community. 

We  allocate  the  cost  of  apartment  communities  acquired  based  on  the  relative  fair  value  of  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed.  We 
determine  the  fair  value  of  tangible  assets,  such  as  land,  buildings,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment,  using  valuation  techniques  that  consider 
comparable market transactions, replacement costs and other available information. We determine the fair value of identified intangible assets or 
liabilities, which typically relate to in-place leases, using valuation techniques that consider the terms of the in-place leases, current market data for 
comparable leases and our experience in leasing similar communities. The intangible assets or liabilities related to in-place leases are comprised of: 
(a) the value of the above- and below-market leases in-place, measured over the period, including probable lease renewals for below-market leases, 
that the leases are  

F-16 

 
 
 
Table of Contents 

expected  to  remain  in  effect;  (b)  the  estimated  unamortized  portion  of  avoided  leasing  commissions  and  other  costs  that  ordinarily  would  be 
incurred to originate the in-place leases; and (c) the value associated with leased apartment homes during an estimated absorption period, which 
estimates rental revenue that would not have been earned had leased apartment homes been vacant at the time of acquisition, assuming lease-up 
periods based on market demand and stabilized occupancy levels.  

Depreciation  for  all  tangible  assets  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.  Acquired  buildings  and 
improvements  are  depreciated  over  a  useful  life based on the age, condition and other physical characteristics of the apartment  community. At 
December 31, 2018, the weighted average depreciable life of our buildings and improvements was approximately  28 years. Furniture, fixtures and 
equipment associated with apartment communities are depreciated over five years.  

The above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to rental revenue over the expected remaining terms of the associated leases, which 
include reasonably assured renewal periods. Other intangible assets related to in-place leases are amortized to depreciation and amortization over 
the expected remaining terms of the associated leases.  

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, deferred income in our consolidated balance sheets included below-market lease amounts totaling $18.7 million 
and $9.1  million, respectively, which are net of accumulated amortization of $36.7 million  and $34.4  million, respectively. During the years ended 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we included amortization of below-market leases of $2.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in rental 
and other property revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. 

At December 31, 2018, our below-market leases had a weighted average amortization period of 6.3 years and estimated aggregate amortization for 

each of the five succeeding years as follows (in thousands):

Capital Additions and Related Depreciation  

We  capitalize  costs,  including  certain  indirect  costs,  incurred  in  connection  with  our  capital  additions  activities,  including  redevelopments, 
developments,  other  tangible  apartment  community  improvements  and  replacements  of  existing  apartment  community  components.  Included  in 
these  capitalized  costs  are  payroll  costs  associated  with  time  spent  by  site  employees  in  connection  with  capital  additions  activities  at  the 
apartment community level. We characterize as “indirect costs” an allocation of certain department costs, including payroll, at the area operations 
and corporate levels that clearly relate to capital additions activities. We also capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in 
which redevelopments, developments and construction projects are in progress. We begin capitalization of costs, including certain indirect costs, 
incurred in connection with our capital addition activities, upon commencement of activities necessary to ready apartment communities for their 
intended use. These activities include when apartment communities or apartment homes are undergoing physical construction, as well as when 
apartment homes are held vacant in advance of planned construction, provided that other activities such as permitting, planning and design are in 
progress. We cease the capitalization of costs when the apartment communities are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, which 
is  typically  when  construction  has  been  substantially  completed  and  apartment  homes  are  available  for  occupancy.  Costs,  including  ordinary 
repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs, are charged to property operating expense as incurred.  

We depreciate capitalized costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related improvement, which is generally 5, 15 
or  30  years.  All  capitalized  site  payroll  costs  and  indirect  costs  are  allocated  to  capital  additions  proportionately  based  on  direct  costs,  and 
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of such capital additions.  

Certain  homogeneous  items  that  are  purchased  in  bulk  on  a  recurring  basis,  such  as  carpeting  and  appliances,  are  depreciated  using  group 
methods that reflect the average estimated useful life of the items in each group. Except in the case of apartment community casualties, where the 
net book value of the lost asset is written off in the determination of casualty gains or losses, we generally do not recognize any loss in connection 
with  the  replacement  of  an  existing  apartment  community  component  because  normal  replacements  are  considered  in  determining  the  estimated 
useful lives used in connection with our composite and group depreciation methods.  

F-17 

 
 
  
Table of Contents 

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we capitalized to buildings and improvements $7.6 million, $7.6 million and $9.6 million of 

interest costs, respectively, and $36.8 million, $36.0 million and $32.9 million of other direct and indirect costs, respectively.  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

Real  estate  and  other  long-lived  assets  to  be  held  and  used  are  stated  at  cost,  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization,  unless  the 
carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an apartment community may not be 
recoverable, we make an assessment of its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount to our estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows, 
excluding interest charges, of the apartment community. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize 
an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the apartment community.  

Cash Equivalents 

We classify highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. We maintain cash equivalents in 
financial institutions in excess of insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts in the past and believe that we are not 
exposed to significant credit risk because our accounts are deposited with major financial institutions. 

Restricted Cash 

Restricted  cash  includes  capital  replacement  reserves,  completion  repair  reserves,  bond  sinking  fund  amounts,  tax  and  insurance  escrow 

accounts held by lenders and resident security deposits. 

Other Assets 

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, other assets was comprised of the following amounts (dollars in thousands):

The table above excludes other assets of partnerships served by our Asset Management business at December 31, 2017, as they are presented 

separately on our consolidated balance sheet. 

Investments in Securitization Trust that holds Aimco Property Debt 

We hold investments in a securitization trust that primarily holds certain of our property debt. These investments were initially recognized at 
their purchase price and the discount to the face value is being accreted into interest income over the expected term of the securities. We have 
designated these investments as available for sale, or AFS, debt securities and we measure these investments at fair value with changes in their fair 
value,  other  than  the  changes  attributed  to  the  accretion  described  above,  recognized  as  an  adjustment  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income or loss within equity and partners’ capital. Refer to Note 11 for further information regarding these debt securities. 

Intangible Assets 

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, other assets included goodwill associated with our reportable segment of $37.8 million. We perform an annual 
impairment test of goodwill by evaluating qualitative factors to determine the likelihood that goodwill may be impaired. We primarily consider the 
fair value of our real estate portfolio and the fair value of our debt relative to their carrying values. As a result of the qualitative analysis, we do not 
believe our goodwill is impaired as of the date of our annual test.

Capitalized Software Costs, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements 

Purchased  software  and  other  costs  related  to  software  purchased  or  developed  for  internal  use  are  capitalized  during  the  application 
development stage and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally  three to  five years. 
Purchased  equipment  is  recognized  at  cost  and  depreciated  using  the  straight-line  method  over  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  asset,  which  is 
generally  five years.  Leasehold  improvements  are  also  recorded  at  cost  and  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  shorter  of  the  asset’s 
estimated useful life or the term of the related lease. 

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Partnerships 

We  own  general  and  limited  partner  interests  in  partnerships  that  either  directly,  or  through  interests  in  other  real  estate  partnerships,  own 
apartment  communities.  We  generally  account  for  investments  in  real  estate  partnerships  that  we  do  not  consolidate  under  the  equity  method. 
Under the equity method, we recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the entity for the periods presented, inclusive of our share of any 
impairments and disposition gains recognized by and related to such entities, and we present such amounts within other, net in our consolidated 
statements of operations.  

The excess of the cost of the acquired partnership interests over the historical carrying amount of partners’ equity or deficit is generally ascribed 
to the fair values of land and buildings owned by the partnerships. We amortize the excess cost related to the buildings over the related estimated 
useful lives. Such amortization is recorded as an adjustment of the amounts of earnings or losses we recognize from such unconsolidated real estate 
partnerships.  

Deferred Costs  

We defer, as debt issue costs, lender fees and other direct costs incurred in obtaining new financing and amortize the amounts over the terms of 
the related loan agreements. In connection with the modification of existing financing arrangements, we defer lender fees and amortize these costs 
and any unamortized debt issue costs over the term of the modified loan agreement. Debt issue costs associated with our revolving credit facility 
are included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Debt issue costs associated with non-recourse property debt and our term loan are 
presented as a direct deduction from the related liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. When financing arrangements are repaid or otherwise 
extinguished prior to maturity, unamortized debt issue costs are written off, additionally, any lender fees or other costs incurred in connection with 
the extinguishment are recognized. Amortization and write-off of debt issue costs and other extinguishment costs are included in interest expense 
on our consolidated statements of operations. 

We defer leasing commissions and other direct costs incurred in connection with successful leasing efforts and amortize the costs over the 
terms  of  the  related  leases.  Beginning  in  2019,  in  connection  with  our  adoption  of  the  new  accounting  standard  for  leases,  which  is  further 
discussed under the Recent Accounting Pronouncements heading below, such costs will be deferred when they are incremental and would not 
have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization.  

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships 

We  report  the  unaffiliated  partners’  interests  in  the  net  assets  of  our  consolidated  real  estate  partnerships  as  noncontrolling  interests  in 
consolidated  real  estate  partnerships  within  consolidated  equity  and  partners’  capital.  Noncontrolling  interests  in  consolidated  real  estate 
partnerships consist primarily of equity interests held by limited partners in consolidated real estate partnerships that have finite lives. We generally 
attribute to noncontrolling interests their share of income or loss of consolidated partnerships based on their proportionate interest in the results of 
operations of the partnerships, including their share of losses even if such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance within our 
equity and partners’ capital accounts. 

The  terms  of  the  related  partnership  agreements  generally  require  the  partnerships  to  be  liquidated  following  the  sale  of  the  underlying  real 
estate. As the general partner in these partnerships, we ordinarily control the execution of real estate sales and other events that could lead to the 
liquidation, redemption or other settlement of noncontrolling interests. 

Changes in our ownership interest in consolidated real estate partnerships generally consist of our purchase of an additional interest in or the 
sale of our entire interest in a consolidated real estate partnership. The effect on our equity and partners’ capital  of  our  purchase  of  additional 
interests in consolidated real estate partnerships during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, is shown in our consolidated statements 
of equity and partners’ capital. The effect on our equity and partners’ capital of sales of consolidated real estate or sales of our entire interest in 
consolidated real estate partnerships is reflected in our consolidated financial statements as gains on disposition of real estate and accordingly the 
effect on our equity and partners’ capital is reflected within the amount of net income allocated to us and to noncontrolling interests. Upon our 
deconsolidation of a real estate partnership following the sale of our partnership interests or liquidation of the partnership following sale of the 
related apartment community,  

F-19 

 
 
Table of Contents 

we derecognize any remaining noncontrolling interest of the associated partnership previously recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. 

Noncontrolling Interests in Aimco Operating Partnership 

Noncontrolling interests in Aimco Operating Partnership consist of common OP Units and preferred OP Units. Holders of preferred OP Units 
participate in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss only to the extent of their preferred distributions. Within Aimco’s consolidated 
financial statements, after provision for Preferred OP Unit distributions, the Aimco Operating Partnership’s income or loss is allocated to the holders 
of common partnership units based on the weighted average number of common partnership units (including those held by Aimco) outstanding 
during the period. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the holders of common OP Units had a weighted average ownership 
interest in the Aimco Operating Partnership of 4.9%, 4.5% and 4.7%, respectively. See Note 7 for further information regarding the items comprising 
noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. 

Revenue from Leases 

Our apartment communities have operating leases with apartment residents with terms averaging 13 months. We recognize rental revenue related 
to these leases, net of any concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Our operating leases with residents also provide that the 
resident  reimburse  us  for  certain  costs,  primarily  the  resident’s  share  of  utilities  expenses,  incurred  by  the  apartment  community.  These 
reimbursements are variable payments pursuant to the related lease and recognized as income when the utility expense is incurred. Reimbursement 
and related expense are presented on a gross basis in our consolidated statements of operations, with the reimbursement included in rental and 
other property revenues on our consolidated statements of operations. 

Asset Management Business 

Prior  to  the  July  2018  sale  of  our  Asset  Management  business,  we  provided  asset  management  and  other  services  to  certain  consolidated 
partnerships owning apartment communities that qualify for low-income housing tax credits and are structured to provide for the pass-through of 
tax credits and tax deductions to their partners. We recognized income from asset management and other services when the related fees were earned 
and realized or realizable. 

The  tax  credits  were  generally  realized  ratably  over  the  first  ten  years  of  the  tax  credit  arrangement  and  are  subject  to  the  partnership’s 
compliance with applicable laws and regulations for a period of 15 years. We held nominal ownership positions in these partnerships, generally less 
than one percent, and sold these interests to an unrelated third party in July 2018. In our role, we provided asset management and other services to 
these partnerships and we received fees and other payments in return.  

Capital  contributions  received  by  the  partnerships  from  tax  credit  investors  represented,  in  substance,  consideration  that  we  received  in 
exchange for our obligation to deliver tax credits and other tax benefits to the investors. We recorded these contributions as deferred income in our 
consolidated balance sheets upon receipt, and we recognized these amounts as revenue in our consolidated statements of operations when our 
obligation  to  the  investors  is  relieved  upon  delivery  of  the  tax  benefits.  This  obligation  transferred  to  the  buyer  along  with  our  interest  in  the 
partnerships. 

Prior to the sale of our interests in the partnerships, we consolidated the low-income housing tax credit partnerships in which we were the sole 
general  partner,  because  we  were  the  sole  decision  maker  of  the  partnerships.  When  the  contractual  arrangements  obligated  us  to  deliver  tax 
benefits  to  the  investors,  and  entitled  us  through  fee  arrangements  to  receive  substantially  all  available  cash  flow  from  the  partnerships,  we 
recognized the income or loss generated by the underlying real estate based on our economic interest in the partnerships’ current period results, 
which was approximately 100% and represented the allocation of cash available for distribution we would receive from a hypothetical liquidation at 
the book value of the partnership’s net assets. Our economic interests generally differed from our legal interests. Upon the sale of our interests in 
these partnerships, we deconsolidated these partnerships and removed the obligation to deliver future tax credits and benefits, represented by the 
remaining deferred income as a component of our gain on the sale of the business. 

Insurance 

We  believe  our  insurance  coverages  insure  our  apartment  communities  adequately  against  the  risk  of  loss  attributable  to  fire,  earthquake, 
hurricane, tornado, flood and other perils. In addition, we have third-party insurance coverage (after self-insured retentions) that defray the costs of 
large  workers’  compensation,  health  and  general  liability  exposures.  We  accrue  losses  based  upon  our  estimates  of  the  aggregate  liability  for 
uninsured losses incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on our experience.  

F-20 

 
 
Table of Contents 

Share-Based Compensation 

We  issue  various  forms  of  share-based  compensation,  including  stock  options  and  restricted  stock  awards  with  service  conditions  and/or 
market conditions. We recognize share-based employee compensation based on the fair value on the grant date and recognize compensation cost 
over the awards’  requisite  service  periods.  We  reduce  compensation  cost  related  to  forfeited  awards  in  the  period  of  forfeiture.  See  Note 8  for 
further discussion of our share-based compensation. 

Income Taxes 

Aimco has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994, and it 
intends to continue to operate in such a manner. Aimco’s current and continuing qualification as a REIT depends on its ability to meet the various 
requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership 
and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. If Aimco qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it will generally not be 
subject to United States federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially 
eliminates the “double taxation” (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from an investment in a corporation.  

Even  if  Aimco  qualifies  as  a  REIT,  it  may  be  subject  to  United  States  federal  income  and  excise  taxes  in  various  situations,  such  as  on  our 
undistributed income. Aimco also will be required to pay a  100% tax on any net income on non-arm’s length transactions between it and a TRS 
(described below) and on any net income from sales of apartment communities that were held for sale in the ordinary course. The state and local tax 
laws may not conform to the United States federal income tax treatment, and Aimco may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local 
jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business. Any taxes imposed on us reduce our operating cash flow and net income.  

Certain  of  our  operations  or  a  portion  thereof,  including  property  management  and  risk  management,  are  conducted  through  taxable  REIT 
subsidiaries,  which  are  subsidiaries  of  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership,  and  each  of  which  we  refer  to  as  a  TRS.  A  TRS  is  a  subsidiary  C-
corporation that has not elected REIT status and as such is subject to United States federal corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate 
our ability to offer certain services and activities to our residents and investment partners that cannot be offered directly by a REIT. We also use 
TRS entities to hold investments in certain apartment communities. 

For our TRS entities, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for United States federal income tax purposes, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that 
are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance when we determine, 
based on available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. We recognize the tax consequences associated with 
intercompany  transfers  between  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  and  TRS  entities  when  such  transactions  occur.  Refer  to  Note  9  for  further 
information about our income taxes. 

Comprehensive Income or Loss 

As discussed under the preceding Investments in Securitization Trust that holds Aimco Property Debt heading, we have investments in debt 
securities that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss 
within equity and partners’ capital. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized changes in the fair value of our cash flow 
hedges  as  an  adjustment  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  within  equity  and  partners’  capital  until  the  July  2018  sale  of  the  Asset 
Management business. The amounts of consolidated comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, along with the 
corresponding amounts of such comprehensive income attributable to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and to noncontrolling interests, are 
presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. 

Earnings per Share and Unit 

Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership calculate earnings per share and unit based on the weighted average number of shares of Common 
Stock  or  common  partnership  units,  participating  securities,  common  stock  or  common  unit  equivalents  and  dilutive  convertible  securities 
outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership considers both common partnership units and equivalents, which have identical 
rights to distributions and undistributed earnings, to be common units for purposes of the earnings per unit computations. See Note 10 for further 
information regarding earnings per share and unit computations.  

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of our 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 

Certain items included in the 2017 and 2016 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. We 
have  also  reclassified  certain  items  on  our  consolidated  statements  of  operations  to  comply  with  the  SEC  disclosure  amendments  summarized 
below. 

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year 

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted a new standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, that affects accounting for 
revenue. Under this new standard, revenue is generally recognized when an entity has transferred control of goods or services to a customer for an 
amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for such exchange. 

The new revenue standard also introduced new guidance for accounting for other income, including how we measure gains or losses on the sale 
of real estate. We adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition method effective January 1, 2018, with no effect on our 
results of operations or financial position. 

Effective January 1, 2018, we also adopted new standards issued by the FASB that affect the presentation and disclosure of the statements of 
cash  flows.  We  are  now  required  to  present  combined  inflows  and  outflows  of  cash,  cash  equivalents,  and  restricted  cash  in  the  consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows.  Previously  our  consolidated  statements  of  cash  flows  presented  transfers  between  restricted  and  unrestricted  cash 
accounts as operating, financing and investing cash activities depending on the required or intended purpose for the restricted funds. The new 
guidance also requires debt prepayment and other extinguishment-related payments to be classified as financing activities. We previously classified 
such payments as operating activities. We have revised our consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 
to conform to this presentation, and the effect of the revisions to net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as previously 
reported are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

In 2018, the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, amended its rules to eliminate, modify, or integrate into other SEC requirements certain 
disclosure  rules.  The  amendments  are  intended  to  simplify  compliance  without  significantly  changing  the  total  mix  of  information  provided  to 
investors and were generally effective on November 5, 2018. The amendments remove the SEC rule that requires REITs to present gain or loss on 
the sale of real estate, net of income tax, in the statement of operations. Consistent with the SEC’s historical requirements, we previously presented 
gain or loss on dispositions of real estate below continuing operations and net of tax. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we present gain on 
dispositions of real estate as a component of income before income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations and we have revised the 
2017 and 2016 comparative periods to conform to this presentation as follows:

Additionally, SEC rules previously required changes in equity subsequent to the prior year-end as either a separate financial statement or in the 
notes  to  interim  financial  statements.  For  interim  periods  in  2018,  we  presented  changes  in  equity  within  a  footnote  to  our  interim  condensed 
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the SEC rule. The amendments create a requirement to report changes in equity and dividends 
per  share  in  interim  periods  on  a  comparative  basis  for  both  quarter-to-date  and  year-to-date  periods  presented.  This  disclosure  is  required  for 
interim financial statements beginning in 2019; therefore, we will present comparative interim statements of stockholders equity beginning in our 
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

The  FASB  issued  a  new  standard  on  lease  accounting,  which  is  effective  for  us  on  January  1,  2019.  Under  the  new  lease  standard,  lessor 
accounting will be largely unchanged and lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and related right of use asset for all leases with terms 
longer  than  12  months,  with  such  leases  classified  as  either  operating  or  finance.  The  standard  may  be  adopted  utilizing  multiple  practical 
expedients, and we plan to adopt the standard using all practical expedients that aid in calculating the value of the lease liability and related right of 
use asset on the date of adoption, as well as the prospective practical expedient that allows lessors to combine lease and nonlease components 
where the timing and pattern of transfer are the same. 

We do not anticipate significant changes in the timing of income recognition from our leases with residents. However, in circumstances where 
we  are  a  lessee,  in  primarily  a  limited  population  of  ground  leases  and  leases  for  corporate  office  space,  we  will  be  required  to  recognize  lease 
liabilities and related right of use assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We anticipate recording lease liabilities and related right of use assets 
in amounts less than 1.5% of total assets as of December 31, 2018. Additionally, our adoption of the standard will affect the manner in which we 
recognize costs incurred to obtain resident leases. Through December 31, 2018, we deferred certain costs based on the percentage of successful 
leases relative to all leasing candidates. Under the new standard, only costs that are contingent upon a signed lease may be deferred. We do not 
anticipate recording significant cumulative catch up adjustments in connection with our adoption of this standard.  

Note 3 — Significant Transactions 

Acquisitions of Apartment Communities  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we acquired apartment communities located in Arlington, Virginia, Fairfax County, Virginia and in the 
Center City and University City areas of Philadelphia. Summarized information regarding these acquisitions is set forth in the table below (dollars in 
thousands):

of 1.2 million OP Units. In accordance with GAAP, the OP Units were valued at $41.08 per unit, the closing price of Aimco’s common share on May 1, 
2018, the purchase date. 

Dispositions of Apartment Communities and Assets Held for Sale 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  we  sold  for  $590.0  million  our  Asset  Management  business  and  our  four  affordable  apartment 
communities located in the Hunters Point area of San Francisco. The sale resulted in a gain of $500.3 million and net cash proceeds of $512.2 million, 
after payment of transaction costs and repayment of property-level debt encumbering the Hunters Point apartment communities. In addition to the 
Hunters  Point  apartment  communities,  we  sold  the  following  apartment  communities  from  our  Real  Estate  portfolio  during  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):

The apartment communities sold from our Real Estate portfolio during 2018, 2017 and 2016 were predominantly located outside of our primary 
markets  or  in  lower-rated  locations  within  our  primary  markets  and  had  average  revenues  per  apartment  home  significantly  below  those  of  our 
retained portfolio.  

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold our interests in the entities owning the La Jolla Cove property in settlement of legal actions 
filed in 2014 by a group of disappointed buyers who had hoped to acquire the property. We provided seller financing with a stated value of $48.6 
million and received net cash proceeds of approximately $5.0 million in the sale.  

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the consolidated partnerships served by our Asset Management business sold a total of 
three apartment communities for gross proceeds of $10.9 million and $27.5 million, respectively, and resulting in gains on dispositions of $2.6 million 
and $16.5 million, respectively. 

In addition to the apartment communities we sold during the periods presented, 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  December 31, 2018, we had  two apartment communities with  782 apartment 
homes in our Real Estate portfolio that were classified as held for sale. In January 2019, we sold the apartment communities for a gain on disposition 
of $87.5 million, net of tax, and gross proceeds of $141.2 million, resulting in $114.9 million of net proceeds to Aimco. 

Note 4 — Non-Recourse Property Debt and Credit Agreement 

Non-Recourse Property Debt (Real Estate Portfolio) 

We finance apartment communities in our Real Estate portfolio primarily using property-level, non-recourse, long-dated,  fixed-rate, amortizing 
debt.  The  following  table  summarizes  non-recourse  property  debt  related  to  assets  classified  as  held  for  use  at  December 31, 2018  and 2017  (in 
thousands):

Fixed-rate property debt matures at various dates through January 2055, and has interest rates that range from 2.73% to 7.14%, with a weighted 
average interest rate of 4.22%. Principal and interest on fixed-rate debt are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with 
balloon payments due at maturity. At December 31, 2018, each of the fixed-rate loans payable related to apartment communities classified as held for 
use were secured by one of 82 apartment communities that had an aggregate net book value of $4.2 billion.  

Variable-rate  property  debt  matures  at  various  dates  through  July  2033,  and  had  interest  rates  that  ranged  from  3.55%  to  3.67%,  as  of 
December 31, 2018, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.61% at December 31, 2018. Principal and interest on variable-rate debt are generally 
payable in semi-annual  installments  with  balloon  payments  due  at  maturity.  As  of  December 31, 2018,  our  variable-rate property debt related to 
apartment communities classified as held for use were each secured by eight apartment communities that had an aggregate net book value of $239.5 
million. 

These  non-recourse  property  debt  instruments  contain  covenants  common  to  the  type  of  borrowing,  and  at  December 31,  2018,  we  were  in 

compliance with all such covenants.

(1)  Pursuant to the terms of our loan agreements, we may prepay in 2020 $246.5 million of loans maturing in 2021, without penalty.

Credit Facility 

We have a credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. Our credit facility provides for $800.0 million of revolving loan commitments. 
As  of December 31,  2018  and  2017, we had  $160.4 million  and  $67.2 million,  respectively,  of  outstanding  borrowings  under  our  revolving  credit 
facility. The interest rate on our outstanding borrowings was 3.93%  and 3.26% at December 31,  2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 
2018, after outstanding borrowings and $7.1 million of undrawn letters of credit backed by the Credit Agreement, our available borrowing capacity 
was $632.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we repaid the $250.0 million term loan in full. 

Borrowings against the revolving loan commitments bear interest at a rate set forth on a pricing grid, which rate varies based on our credit rating 
as assigned by specified rating agencies (LIBOR plus 1.20%, or, at our option, a base rate plus 0.20%  at December 31,  2018). The credit facility 
matures on January 22, 2022. The credit facility provides that we may make distributions to our investors during any four consecutive quarters in an 
aggregate amount that does not exceed the greater of 95% of our Funds From Operations for such period, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, 
or such amount as may be necessary to maintain Aimco’s REIT status.  

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies 

Commitments 

In  connection  with  our  redevelopment,  development  and  capital  improvement  activities,  we  have  entered  into  various  construction-related 
contracts  and  we  have  made  commitments  to  complete  redevelopment  of  certain  apartment  communities,  pursuant  to  financing  or  other 
arrangements. As of December 31, 2018, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $207.0 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  

F-25 

 
 
  
  
  
  
  
Table of Contents 

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, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, 
or IDEM, regarding contaminated groundwater in a residential area 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  IDEM’s  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 and IDEM to identify options for clean-up of the site. Although the outcome of 
these processes are uncertain, we do not expect their resolution to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of 
operations or cash flows. 

We  also  have  been  contacted  by  regulators  and  the  current  owner  of  a  property  in  Lake  Tahoe,  California,  regarding  environmental  issues 
allegedly  stemming  from  the  historic  operation  of  a  dry  cleaner.  An  entity  owned  by  us  was  the  former  general  partner  of  a  now-dissolved 
partnership that previously owned a site that was used for dry cleaning. That entity and the current property owner have been remediating the dry 
cleaner 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 are appealing the final order while simultaneously complying with it. Although the outcome of this process is uncertain, we do 
not expect its 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 in 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 December 31, 2018, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Operating Leases  

We are obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for office space. We are also obligated under non-cancelable operating leases for the 
ground under certain of our apartment communities with remaining terms ranging from 52 years to 99 years. Minimum annual rental payments under 
operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

Note 6 — Aimco Equity 

Preferred Stock 

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, Aimco had a single class of perpetual preferred stock outstanding, its Class A Cumulative Preferred Stock, with 

5,000,000 shares authorized, issued and outstanding and with a balance of $125.0 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

Aimco’s Class A Preferred Stock has a $0.01 per share par value, is senior to Aimco’s Common Stock, has a liquidation preference per share of 
$25.00  and  is  redeemable  at  our  option  on  or  after  May 17,  2019.  The  holders  of  Preferred  Stock  are  generally  not  entitled  to  vote  on  matters 
submitted to stockholders. Dividends at an annual rate of 6.88% are subject to declaration by Aimco’s Board of Directors and accrue if not declared.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  Aimco  redeemed  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  its  Class  Z  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  at  a 
redemption  value  of  $34.8  million.  We  reflected  the  $0.7  million  excess  of  the  redemption  value  over  the  carrying  amount  and  $1.3  million  of 
previously deferred issuance costs as an adjustment of net income attributable to preferred stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016.  

In connection with the redemption of Aimco preferred stock, the Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed from Aimco a number of Partnership 

Preferred Units equal to the number of shares redeemed or repurchased by Aimco.  

Common Stock 

During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, Aimco declared dividends per common share of $1.52, $1.44 and $1.32, respectively.  

On February 3, 2019, Aimco’s Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split, in which every 1.03119 Aimco common share will be combined 
into one Aimco common share, effective at the close of business on February 20, 2019. On the same date, the Board of Directors also declared a 
special dividend on the Aimco common stock that consists of $67.1  million in cash and  4.5 million shares of Aimco common stock. The special 
dividend will be payable on March 22, 2019, to stockholders of record as of February 22, 2019. The special dividend amount includes the regular 
quarterly cash dividend, which for 2019 is expected to be $0.39 per share. Stockholders will have the opportunity to elect to receive the special 
dividend in the form of all cash or all stock, subject to proration if either option is oversubscribed. The reverse split was authorized in order to 
neutralize the dilutive impact of the stock issued in 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 transactions. 
Some stockholders may have more Aimco shares and some may have fewer based on their individual elections.  

Pro forma Earnings per Share (unaudited) 

In financial statements issued after the effective date of the reverse stock split, we are required to retroactively recognize the reverse stock split 
in  the  calculation  of  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share.  The  shares  issued  in  connection  with  the  special  dividend  will  be  included  in  the 
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share on a prospective basis, and are therefore not included in the pro forma amounts disclosed below. 
If the reverse stock split had been effective prior to issuance of these financial statements, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding 
and earnings per share for the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 would have been (shares in thousands):

Note 7 — Partners’ Capital 

Partnership Preferred Units Owned by Aimco 

At December 31,  2018 and 2017, the Aimco Operating Partnership had outstanding preferred units in classes and amounts similar to Aimco’s 
Preferred  Stock  described  in  Note  6,  or  Partnership  Preferred  Units.  All  of  these  Partnership  Preferred  Units  were  owned  by  Aimco  during  the 
periods presented. 

The Partnership Preferred Units are senior to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common partnership units. The Partnership Preferred Units do 
not  have  voting  rights,  except  the  right  to  approve  certain  changes  to  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership’s  Partnership  Agreement  that  would 
adversely affect holders of such class of units. Distributions on Partnership Preferred Units are subject to being declared by the General Partner. 
The Partnership Preferred Units are redeemable by the Aimco Operating Partnership only in connection with a concurrent redemption by Aimco of 
the corresponding Aimco Preferred Stock held by unrelated parties.  

As discussed in Note 6, during the year ended December 31, 2016, Aimco redeemed its Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock. In connection with 

this redemption, the Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed from Aimco a corresponding number of Partnership Preferred Units.  

Redeemable Preferred OP Units 

In addition to the Partnership Preferred Units owned by Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership has outstanding various classes of redeemable 
Partnership Preferred Units owned by third parties, which we refer to as preferred OP Units. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Aimco Operating 
Partnership had the following classes of preferred OP Units (stated at their redemption values, in thousands, except unit and per unit data):

Each class of preferred OP Units is currently redeemable at the holders’ option. The Aimco Operating Partnership, at its sole discretion, may 
settle such redemption requests in cash or cause Aimco to issue shares of its Common Stock with a value equal to the redemption price. In the 
event  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  requires  Aimco  to  issue  shares  of  Common  Stock  to  settle  a  redemption  request,  the  Aimco  Operating 
Partnership would issue to Aimco a corresponding number of common partnership units. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy 
that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Subject to certain conditions, the 
Class Four and Class Six preferred OP Units may be converted into common OP Units. 

These redeemable units are classified within temporary equity in Aimco’s consolidated balance sheets and within temporary capital in the Aimco 

Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. 

During  the  years  ended  December 31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  approximately  10,000,  67,000  and  69,000  preferred  OP  Units,  respectively,  were 

redeemed in exchange for cash, and no preferred OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Aimco Common Stock. 

The Class Ten preferred OP Units were issued as partial consideration for an acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2016.

In the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, the common partnership units held by Aimco are classified within Partners’ 
Capital as General Partner and Special Limited Partner capital and the common OP Units are classified within Limited Partners’ capital. In Aimco’s 
consolidated  balance  sheets,  the  common  OP  Units  are  classified  within  permanent  equity  as  common  noncontrolling  interests  in  the  Aimco 
Operating Partnership. 

Common partnership units held by Aimco are not redeemable whereas common OP Units are redeemable at the holders’ option, subject to certain 
restrictions, on the basis of one common OP Unit for either one share of Common Stock or cash equal to the fair value of a share of Common Stock 
at the time of redemption. Aimco has the option to deliver shares of Common Stock in exchange for all or any portion of the common OP Units 
tendered for redemption. When a limited partner redeems a common OP Unit for Common Stock, Limited Partners’ capital is reduced and the General 
Partner and Special Limited Partners’ capital is increased.  

During  the  years  ended  December 31, 2018,  2017  and 2016,  approximately  224,000, 268,000  and  248,000  common  OP  Units,  respectively,  were 

redeemed in exchange for cash, and no common OP Units were redeemed in exchange for shares of Common Stock.  

The holders of the common OP Units receive distributions, prorated from the date of issuance, in an amount equivalent to the dividends paid to 
holders of Common Stock. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Aimco Operating Partnership declared distributions per 
common unit of $1.52, $1.44 and $1.32, respectively 

On February 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s general partner authorized a reverse unit split in which every 
1.03119 common partnership units will be combined into one common partnership unit. The reverse split is effective at the close of business on 
February 20, 2019, and corresponds to a similar split effected by Aimco with respect to its common shares at the same time. On the same date, the 
Board of Directors also declared a special distribution to the holders of Aimco Operating Partnership common partnership units that consists of 
$71.5 million in cash and 4.8 million common partnership units. The special distribution will be payable on March 22, 2019, to unitholders of record 
as of February 22, 2019. The special distribution also corresponds to a similar special dividend paid at the same time to holders of Aimco common 
shares. The reverse split was authorized in order to neutralize the dilutive impact of the units issued in the special distribution. As a result, total 
common partnership units outstanding following completion of both the special distribution and the reverse unit split are expected to be unchanged 
from the total common partnership units outstanding immediately prior to the transactions. 

Pro forma Earnings per Common Unit (Unaudited) 

In financial statements issued after the effective date of the reverse unit split, we are required to retroactively recognize the reverse unit split in 
the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per unit. The units issued in connection with the special distribution will be included in the calculation 
of  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  unit  on  a  prospective  basis,  and  are  therefore  not  included  in  the  pro  forma  amounts  disclosed  below.  If  the 
reverse  unit  split  had  been  effective  prior  to  issuance  of  these  financial  statements,  basic  and  diluted  weighted  average  units  outstanding  and 
earnings per unit for the years ending December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 would have been (units in thousands):

Note 8 — Share-Based Compensation 

We have a stock award and incentive program to attract and retain officers and independent directors. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 
4.7 million shares were available for issuance under our Amended and Restated 2015 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan. The total 
number  of  shares  available  for  issuance  under  this  plan  may  be  increased  by  an  additional  0.3  million  shares  to  the  extent  of  any  forfeiture, 
cancellation, exchange, surrender, termination or expiration of an award outstanding under our 2007 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. Awards under 
the 2015 Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock, or other types of awards as authorized 
under the plan.  

Our plans are administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of Aimco’s Board of Directors. In the case of stock options, 

the exercise price of the options granted may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the date of grant. 

Total compensation cost recognized for stock based awards was $9.7 million, $9.3 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 
2017 and 2016, respectively. Of these amounts, $1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were capitalized. At December 31, 2018, total 
unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $11.0 million. We expect to recognize this compensation over a weighted average period of 
approximately 1.6 years.  

We have granted five different types of awards that are outstanding as of December 31, 2018. We have outstanding stock options and restricted 
stock awards that are subject to time-based vesting and require continuous employment, typically over a period of four years from the grant date, 
and  we  refer  to  these  awards  as  Time-Based  Stock  Options  and  Time-Based  Restricted  Stock,  respectively.  We  also  have  outstanding  stock 
options,  restricted  stock  awards  and  two  forms  of  long-term  incentive  partnership  units,  or  LTIP  units,  that  vest  conditioned  on  Aimco’s  total 
shareholder return, or TSR, relative to the NAREIT Apartment Index (60% weighting) and the MSCI US REIT Index (40% weighting) over a forward-
looking performance period of three years. We refer to these awards as TSR Stock Options, TSR Restricted Stock, TSR LTIP I units, and TSR LTIP 
II units. Vested LTIP II units may be converted at the holders option to LTIP Units for a strike price over a term of ten years. Earned TSR-based 
awards, if any, will vest 50% on each of the third anniversary and fourth anniversary of the grant date, based on continued employment. The term of 
Time-Based Stock Options and TSR Stock Options is generally ten years from the date of grant. 

We recognize compensation cost associated with Time-Based awards ratably over the requisite service periods, which are typically four years. 
We recognize compensation cost related to the TSR-based awards, which have graded vesting periods, over the requisite service period for each 
separate vesting tranche of the award, commencing on the grant date. The value of the TSR-based awards take into consideration the probability 
that the market condition will be achieved; therefore previously recorded compensation cost is not adjusted in the event that the market condition is 
not achieved and awards do not vest.  

Stock Options 

During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we granted TSR Stock Options.

The intrinsic value of a stock option represents the amount by which the current price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the 
option. As of December 31, 2018, options outstanding had an aggregate intrinsic value of $2.5 million and a weighted average remaining contractual 
term  of  7.0  years.  Options  exercisable  at  December 31,  2018,  had  an  aggregate  intrinsic  value  of  $1.1  million  and  a  weighted  average  remaining 
contractual term of  5.9 years. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended  December 31, 2018,  2017 and  2016,  was $32

We estimated the fair value of TSR-based awards granted in 2018, 2017 and 2016 using a Monte Carlo model using the assumptions set forth in 

the table below.  

The risk-free interest rate reflects the annualized yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury security with a term equal to the expected term of the 
option. The expected dividend yield reflects expectations regarding cash dividend amounts per share paid on Aimco’s Common Stock during the 
expected term of the awards. Expected volatility reflects an average of the historical volatility of Aimco’s Common Stock during the historical period 
commensurate with the expected term of the options that ended on the date of grant, and the implied volatility is calculated from observed call 
option contracts closest to the expected term. The derived vesting period of TSR Restricted Stock and TSR LTIP I units was determined based on 
the graded vesting terms. The expected term of the TSR-options and TSR LTIP II units was based on historical option exercises and post-vesting 
terminations. The midpoints of our valuation assumptions for the 2018, 2017 and 2016 grants were as follows:

Note 9 — Income Taxes 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the TRS entities 
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax liabilities and assets are 
as follows (in thousands): 

Deferred tax liabilities: 

Real estate and real estate partnership basis differences 

Deferred tax assets:

In December 2017, the U.S. Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the 2017 Act, which is effective for years beginning with 2018. The 
2017 Act provided for a reduction in the federal income tax rate. In accordance with GAAP, we revalued our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of 
December 31, 2017. We finalized our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the 2017 Act during the year ended December 31, 2018, resulting 
in our recognition of a cumulative net tax benefit of $15.6 million over the two years.  

At December 31, 2018, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, for which the deferred tax asset was approximately 
$7.0 million, before a valuation allowance of $4.9 million. The NOLs expire in years 2019 to 2034. Subject to certain separate return limitations, we 
may use these NOLs to offset a portion of state taxable income generated by our TRS entities.  

As  of  December 31,  2018,  we  had  low-income  housing  and  rehabilitation  tax  credit  carryforwards  and  corresponding  deferred  tax  assets  of 
approximately $67.5 million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2034 to 2038. In light of the lower federal tax rate under the 2017 Act, our 
TRS entities must generate more taxable income in future years to utilize tax credit carryforwards, which are recorded as deferred tax assets. As a 
result,  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  we  recognized  a  partial  valuation  allowance  of  $15.4  million  against  the  deferred  tax  assets 
associated with low-income  housing  and  rehabilitation  tax  credit  carryforwards.  Due  to  the  sale  of  our  Asset  Management  business,  discussed 
further in Note 3, during the year ended December 31, 2018, we reversed the remaining valuation allowance recognized in 2017 against our deferred 
tax benefits that we now expect to utilize.

Because the statute of limitations has not yet elapsed, our United States federal income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 
subsequent years and certain of our State income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2014 and subsequent years are currently subject to 
examination by the IRS or other taxing authorities. If recognized, the unrecognized benefit would affect the effective rate.  

In  2014,  the  IRS  initiated  an  audit  of  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership’s  2011  and  2012  tax  years.  This  audit  remains  in  process  as  of 
December 31,  2018.  We  do  not  believe  the  audit  will  have  any  material  effect  on  our  unrecognized  tax  benefits,  financial  condition  or  results  of 
operations. 

Our  policy  is  to  include  any  interest  and  penalties  related  to  income  taxes  within  the  income  tax  line  item  in  our  consolidated  statements  of 

operations.

In accordance with the accounting requirements for stock-based compensation, we may recognize tax benefits in connection with the exercise of 
stock options by employees of our TRS entities and the vesting of restricted stock awards. We recognize the tax effects related to stock based 
compensation through earnings in the period the compensation was recognized.  

Significant components of the income tax benefit or expense are as follows and are classified within income tax benefit in income before gain on

Consolidated income or loss subject to tax consists of pretax income or loss of our TRS entities and income and gains retained by the REIT. For 
the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we had consolidated net income subject to tax of $158.6 million, net loss subject to tax of $55.6 
million and net income subject to tax of $109.3 million, respectively.

(1)  2017  includes  the  establishment  of  a  deferred  tax  asset  related  to  partnership  basis  difference  when  it  became  apparent  that  it  would  reverse  in  the 

foreseeable future. This deferred tax asset was fully reserved in the valuation allowance described below as of December 31, 2017. 

(2)  2016  includes  the  effect  of  intercompany  asset  transfers  between  the  Aimco  Operating  Partnership  and  TRS  entities,  for  which  tax  was  deferred  and 
recognized  as  the  assets  affected  GAAP  income  or  loss,  for  example,  through  depreciation,  impairment,  or  upon  the  sale  of  the  asset  to  a  third-party. 
Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted a new accounting standard applicable to intercompany asset transfers. As a result, the accumulated unrecognized 
deferred tax expense associated with historical intercompany transfers was recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment through retained earnings at that 
time. 2018 includes the tax benefit to establish the initial deferred tax asset from the intercompany transfer of a portion of the Asset Management business 
between the Aimco Operating Partnership and TRS entities. 

(3)  Reflects revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities using the TRS entities’ lower effective tax rates resulting from the 2017 Act. Accounting for the tax 

effects of enactment of the 2017 Act was finalized during the year ended December 31, 2018.

(4)  2017 includes a $15.4 million valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets associated with rehabilitation tax credits due to the lower federal tax rate 

under the 2017 Act. This valuation allowance was reversed in 2018 as a result of the sale of our Asset Management business. 

Income  taxes  paid  totaled  approximately  $11.5  million,  $7.4  million  and  $2.2  million  in  the  years  ended  December 31,  2018,  2017  and  2016, 

respectively. 

For income tax purposes, dividends paid to holders of Common Stock primarily consist of ordinary income, capital gains, qualified dividends and 
unrecaptured Section 1250 gains, or a combination thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, dividends per share held for the 
entire year were estimated to be taxable as follows:

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 and participating securities outstanding, and 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  equivalents  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  TSR  Restricted  Stock 
awards that do not meet the definition of participating securities, which would result in the issuance of additional common shares and common 
partnership units equal to the number of shares that vest. The dilutive effect of these securities was 0.2 million shares or units, 0.5 million shares or 
units, and 0.4 million shares or units, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Securities with dilutive effect are included 
in the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and unit during these periods. There were 0.3 million potential shares and 0.3 million 
potential units not dilutive and excluded from the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and per unit, respectively, for the year 
ended December 31, 2018. There were 0.2 million potential shares and 0.2 million potential units not dilutive and excluded from the denominator for 
calculating diluted earnings per share and per unit, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.  

Our Time-Based Restricted Stock awards receive dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units prior to vesting 
and  our  TSR  LTIP  I  units  and  TSR  LTIP  II  units  receive  distributions  based  on  specified  percentages  of  the  distributions  paid  to  common 
partnership  units  prior  to  vesting  and  conversion.  These  dividends  and  distributions  are  not  forfeited  in  the  event  the  awards  do  not  vest. 
Therefore,  the  unvested  restricted  shares  and  units  related  to  these  awards  are  participating  securities.  The  effect  of  participating  securities  is 
included  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. At December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, there were 0.3 million, 
0.2 million and 0.2 million shares of unvested participating restricted securities, respectively. At December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, there were 0.6 
million, 0.3 million and 0.2 million units of unvested participating restricted securities, respectively.  

As discussed in  Note 7, 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  December 31, 2018, 
these preferred OP Units were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.3 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.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements 

We measure at fair value on a recurring basis our investment 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  accompanying  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 
December 31, 2018, was approximately  2.4 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for 
interest accretion less interest payments received, was $83.6 million and $77.7 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We estimated the 
fair value of these investments to be $88.5 million and $82.8 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.  

Fair Value Disclosures 

We believe that the carrying values of the consolidated amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates their fair 
value  at December 31,  2018  and 2017,  due  to  their  relatively  short-term  nature  and  high  probability  of  realization.  The  carrying  amount  of  seller 
financing notes receivable approximated their estimated fair value at December 31, 2018. The carrying amount of the total indebtedness associated 
with our Real Estate portfolio approximated its estimated fair value at December 31, 2018 and 2017. We estimate the fair value of our seller financing 
notes  and  our  consolidated  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 debt and seller financing notes within 
Level 3 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate its fair value. 

Note 12 — Business Segments 

Our chief executive officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, uses proportionate property net operating income to assess the operating 
performance  of  our  apartment  communities.  Proportionate  property  net  operating  income  is  defined  as  our  share  of  rental  and  other  property 
revenue less our share of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for consolidated apartment communities we own and manage. 
Beginning in 2018, we exclude from rental and other property revenues the amount of utilities cost reimbursed by residents and reflect such amount 
as a reduction of the related utility expense within property operating expenses in our evaluation of segment results. In our consolidated statements 
of operation, utility reimbursements are included in rental and other property revenues, in accordance with GAAP. The 2017 and 2016 tables below 
have been revised to conform to this presentation. 

Apartment  communities  are  classified  as  either  part  of  our  Real  Estate  portfolio  or,  prior  to  the  sale  in  July  2018,  those  owned  through 
partnerships served by our Asset Management business. As of December 31, 2018, for segment performance evaluation, our Real Estate segment 
included 130 consolidated apartment communities with 36,407 apartment homes and excluded four apartment communities with 142 apartment homes 
that we neither manage nor consolidate. 

Prior to the July 2018 sale of our Asset Management business, we consolidated certain partnerships in which we held nominal positions. These 
partnerships own low-income housing tax credit apartment communities. Neither the results of operations nor the assets of these partnerships and 
apartment communities were quantitatively material during our period of ownership; therefore, we have one reportable segment, Real Estate. 

The  following  tables  present  the  revenues,  net  operating  income  and  income  before  gain  on  dispositions  of  our  Real  Estate  segment  on  a 
proportionate basis and excluding amounts related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2018 for the years 
ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Note 13 — Variable Interest Entities 

Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial 
interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. 
A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to 
remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the 
partnership. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not 
limited to: which activities most

significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the 
obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and 
the business activities of the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future 
fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions. 

Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, which is a VIE for which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco 

Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. 

All of the VIEs we consolidate own interests in one or more apartment communities. VIEs that own apartment communities we classify as part of 
our Real Estate segment are typically structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the communities. 
We are the primary beneficiary in the limited partnerships in which we are the sole decision maker and have a substantial economic interest.  

As described in Note 3, we sold our Asset Management business in July 2018, including the nominal ownership interest we held in partnerships 

served by this business.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CERTIFICATION 

I, Terry Considine, certify that:  

1. 

I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Apartment Investment and Management Company;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make 
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered 
by this report; 

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects 

the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report; 

4.  The registrant’s other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined 
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 
15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have: 

(a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or  caused  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our 
supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by 
others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared; 

(b)  Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our 
supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; 

(c)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the 

effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and 

(d)  Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most 
recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely 
to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and 

5.  The registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, 
to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions): 

(a)  All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in  the  design  or  operation  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which  are 

reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and 

(b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
control over financial reporting.
