EXPLANATORY NOTE
This filing combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016, 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 September 30, 2016, owned a 95.4% ownership interest in the common partnership units of, the Aimco Operating Partnership. The remaining 4.6% 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 since 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.
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, where appropriate.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

APARTMENT INVESTMENT AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY
AIMCO PROPERTIES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2016
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization
Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. Aimco is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. AIMCO Properties, L.P., or the Aimco Operating Partnership, is a Delaware limited partnership formed on May 16, 1994, to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership and management of quality apartment communities located in large coastal and job growth markets in the United States.
Aimco, and 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, high performance partnership units and partnership preferred units, which we refer to as common OP Units, HPUs and preferred OP Units, respectively. We also refer to HPUs as common OP Unit equivalents. At September 30, 2016, after eliminations for units held by consolidated entities, the Aimco Operating Partnership had 164,525,865 common partnership units and equivalents outstanding. At September 30, 2016, Aimco owned 156,887,997 of the common partnership units (95.4% of the common partnership units and equivalents) 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 September 30, 2016, we owned an equity interest in 138 conventional apartment communities with 39,316 apartment homes and 55 affordable apartment communities with 8,389 apartment homes. Of these, we consolidated 134 conventional apartment communities with 39,174 apartment homes and 48 affordable apartment communities with 7,702 apartment homes. Conventional and affordable apartment communities generated 90% and 10%, respectively, of the proportionate property net operating income (as defined in Note 8 and excluding amounts related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale) during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.
The balance sheets of Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership at December 31, 2015, have been derived from their respective audited financial statements at that date, but do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Except where indicated, the footnotes refer to both Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership.
Principles of Consolidation
Aimco’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, and their consolidated subsidiaries. The Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Aimco Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are reflected in Aimco’s accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in partnerships consolidated into the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying 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.
Temporary Equity and Partners’ Capital
The following table presents a reconciliation of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred OP Units from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016. These amounts are presented within temporary equity in Aimco’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as preferred noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership, and within temporary capital in the Aimco Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as redeemable preferred units (in thousands).

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we acquired the noncontrolling limited partner’s interest in a consolidated real estate partnership that owns four low-income housing tax credit apartment communities. We recognized the excess of the consideration paid over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests as an adjustment of additional paid-in capital within Aimco equity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year
During 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Updates, or ASUs, 2015-03 and 2015-15, which revised the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. Under ASUs 2015-03 and 2015-15, entities generally present debt issuance costs associated with long term debt in their balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability, and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may continue to be deferred and presented as assets. Amortization of the deferred costs will continue to be included in interest expense. We have adopted the guidance in ASUs 2015-03 and 2015-15 effective as of January 1, 2016. We have elected to continue to reflect deferred issuance costs associated with our revolving credit facility as an asset, which is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have retrospectively applied the guidance to debt issuance costs associated with our non-recourse property debt to all prior periods, which resulted in the reclassification of $24.0 million from other assets to non-recourse property debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, or ASU 2015-02, which significantly changed the consolidation analysis required under GAAP for variable interest entities, or VIEs. Under this revised guidance, limited partnerships are no longer VIEs when the limited partners hold certain rights over the general partner. Alternatively, limited partnerships not previously viewed as VIEs are now considered VIEs in the absence of such rights. We adopted the guidance in ASU 2015-02 as of March 31, 2016, as more fully described in Note 6.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718), or ASU 2016-09, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share-based compensation. Under current practice, tax benefits in excess of compensation cost, or windfalls, are recorded in equity and tax deficiencies, are recorded in equity up to the amount of previous windfalls and then recognized in earnings. Under ASU 2016-09 all of the tax effects related

13

Table of Contents

to share-based compensation will be recognized through earnings. This change is required to be applied prospectively to all windfalls and tax deficiencies resulting from settlements that occur after the date of adoption. ASU 2016-09 also removes the requirement to delay recognition of a windfall until it reduces current taxes payable. Under the new standard, the windfall will be recorded when it arises. This change is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. We have completed our preliminary assessment of the effect ASU 2016-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and do not anticipate recording a material cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption. Under ASU 2016-09, commencing in 2017, we may experience incremental volatility in income tax benefit or expense resulting from the recognition in earnings of windfall benefits or deficiencies upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016-02, its standard on lease accounting. Under ASU 2016-02, lessor accounting will be substantially similar to the current model, but aligned with certain changes to the lessee model and Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing, or sales-type. Lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases, with such leases classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) and finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.

ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, requiring application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and provides for certain practical expedients. We have not yet determined the effect ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Significant Transactions
Investments in Apartment Communities
In August 2016, we purchased a 463-apartment home community in the final stages of construction at the time of acquisition. This community is located in Redwood City, California. At closing, we paid $303.0 million in cash, of which $11.1 million was placed in escrow to be released to the seller upon completion of the remaining apartment homes. We also issued $17.0 million in 6.0% Class Ten preferred OP Units to the seller. The purchase price, plus $1.8 million of capitalized transaction costs, was allocated as follows: $93.0 million to land; $226.8 million to buildings and improvements (including construction in progress); and $2.0 million to furniture and fixtures. Our purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary estimates and is therefore subject to change.
Disposition of Apartment Communities and Assets Held for Sale
Summarized information regarding apartment communities sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, is set forth in the table below (dollars in thousands):

We report gains on disposition net of incremental direct costs incurred in connection with the transactions, including any prepayment penalties incurred upon repayment of property debt collateralized by the apartment communities being sold. Such prepayment penalties totaled $19.8 million for consolidated dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 ($13.2 million of which represented the mark-to-market adjustment).

Table of Contents

In addition to the apartment communities we sold, we are currently 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 apartment communities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. As of September 30, 2016, we had four conventional apartment communities with 1,402 apartment homes classified as held for sale.
Asset Management Business Disposition
In 2012, we sold the Napico portfolio, our legacy asset management business. The transaction was primarily seller-financed, and the associated notes were scheduled to be repaid from the operation and liquidation of the Napico portfolio and were collateralized by the buyer’s interests in the portfolio. In January 2016, we received final payment on the first of the two seller-financed notes. In June 2016, the buyer prepaid the second seller-financed note as well as an agreed upon final payment representing future contingent consideration that may have been due under the terms of the sale. The June 2016 payment represents the final amounts that the buyer owed to us; however, we have continuing involvement in two of the communities within the Napico portfolio in the form of legal interest in the properties and pre-existing guarantees related to property level debt.
In accordance with the provisions of GAAP applicable to sales of real estate or interests therein, we recognized the sale of the assets and liabilities of the Napico portfolio, with the exception of the amounts related to the final two communities, in June 2016, upon receipt of the final payment. The sale recognition resulted in our reduction of other assets, and accrued liabilities and other, by $105.4 million and $111.6 million, respectively, and our recognition of a gain of $5.0 million, which is recorded in other, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We also wrote off a deficit balance in noncontrolling interest in consolidated real estate partnerships associated with the Napico portfolio of $7.8 million, which is recorded in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
We will continue to account for the final two communities under the profit sharing method until we have been released from the guarantees and our legal interests have been transfered to the buyer. Accordingly, we will defer profit recognition associated with these communities, and will continue to recognize their assets and liabilities, each condensed into single line items within other assets and accrued liabilities and other, respectively, and a related balance in noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships in our consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts were $36.5 million, $41.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2016.
Equity and Partners’ Capital Transactions
On July 29, 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 issuance costs previously recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital as an adjustment of net income attributable to preferred stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. In connection with Aimco’s redemption of preferred stock, the Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed from Aimco an equal number of the corresponding class of partnership preferred units.
Note 4 — 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 available for sale, or AFS, securities, and our interest rate swaps, both of which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy.
Our investments classified as AFS 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. We are accreting the discount to the $100.9 million face value of the investments into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining expected term of the investments, which, as of September 30, 2016, was approximately 4.7 years. Our amortized cost basis for these investments, which represents the original cost adjusted for interest accretion less interest payments received, was $71.3 million and $67.8 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We estimated the fair value of these investments to be $74.6 million and $65.5 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
We estimate the fair value of these investments in accordance with GAAP using an income and market approach primarily with 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.

Table of Contents

For our variable rate debt, we are sometimes required by limited partners in our consolidated real estate partnerships to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap agreements, which moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. We estimate the fair value of interest rate swaps using an income approach with primarily observable inputs including information regarding the hedged variable cash flows and forward yield curves relating to the variable interest rates on which the hedged cash flows are based.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in fair value in our interest rate swaps (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our interest rate swaps had aggregate notional amounts of $49.6 million and $49.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, these swaps had a weighted average remaining term of 4.3 years. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these swaps is presented within accrued liabilities and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity and partners’ capital to the extent of their effectiveness.
If the forward rates at September 30, 2016 remain constant, we estimate that during the next 12 months, we would reclassify approximately $1.3 million of the unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. If market interest rates increase above the 3.43% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps we will benefit from net cash payments due to us from our counterparty to the interest rate swaps.
Fair Value Disclosures
We believe that the aggregate fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates their aggregate carrying amounts at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization. The estimated aggregate fair value of our consolidated total indebtedness was approximately $4.3 billion and $4.0 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as compared to aggregate carrying amounts of $4.1 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. Substantially all of the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated indebtedness relates to loans secured by apartment communities that we wholly own. We estimate the fair value of 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 assets within our portfolio. We classify the fair value of our consolidated debt within Level 3 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy based on the significance of certain of the unobservable inputs used to estimate their fair values.
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 September 30, 2016, our commitments related to these capital activities totaled approximately $116.6 million, most of which we expect to incur during the next 12 months. In addition, for our ongoing redevelopments, we have estimated capital spending of approximately $26.3 million that was not committed pursuant to construction-related contracts or financing or other arrangements discussed above, but which we expect to incur.
We also 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.
Tax Credit Arrangements
We are required to manage certain consolidated real estate partnerships in compliance with various laws, regulations and contractual provisions that apply to our historic and low-income housing tax credit syndication arrangements. In some instances, noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and require a refund or

16

Table of Contents

reduction of investor capital contributions, which are reported as deferred income in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, until such time as our obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The remaining compliance periods for our tax credit syndication arrangements range from less than one year to 9 years. We do not anticipate that any material refunds or reductions of investor capital contributions will be required in connection with these arrangements.
Income Taxes
In 2014, the Internal Revenue Service initiated an audit of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s 2011 and 2012 tax years.  We do not believe the audit will have any material effect on our unrecognized tax benefits, financial condition or results of operations.
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.
Limited Partnerships
In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or noncompliance with the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions 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. Potentially hazardous materials may include, among other items, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum-based fuels, lead-based paint, or asbestos. 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, 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 for 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.
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 in the vicinity of 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 have undertaken a voluntary remediation of the dry cleaner contamination under IDEM’s oversight, and in previous years accrued our share of the then estimated cleanup and abatement costs. However, EPA has now 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), and IDEM has formally sought to terminate us from the voluntary remediation program.  We are in discussions with the EPA regarding next steps on the NPL listing and also may file an appeal of the listing. We have already appealed IDEM’s decision to terminate us from the voluntary remediation program. 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 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 company that previously owned the dry cleaner site. 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 July 2016, Lahontan sent us, the current property owner and a former operator of the dry cleaner a proposed cleanup and abatement order that rejects technical and legal arguments we previously made to Lahontan, and which if entered, would require all three parties to perform additional groundwater investigation and corrective actions with respect to onsite and offsite contamination. In September, we submitted comments to this proposed order. Based on the information learned to date, during the nine months

17

Table of Contents

ended September 30, 2016, we accrued our share of the estimated cleanup and abatement costs. This accrual did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations. 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 September 30, 2016, are immaterial to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 6 — Variable Interest Entities
As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2016, we adopted the guidance in ASU 2015-02. As a result, the Aimco Operating Partnership and each of our less than wholly-owned real estate partnerships has been deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE. However, we were not required to consolidate any previously unconsolidated entities or deconsolidate any previously consolidated entities as a result of the change in classification. Accordingly, there has been no change to the recognized amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations or amounts reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We have, however, retrospectively revised the disclosure of significant assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2015 shown below, to include the assets and liabilities of all of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated real estate partnerships that are now designated as VIEs and did not meet the previous VIE definition. We determined that an additional 14 consolidated partnerships owning 18 apartment communities with 6,186 apartment homes are VIEs under the new standard. These VIEs had assets of $885.9 million and liabilities of $645.3 million as of December 31, 2015. Because the Aimco Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of our assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.
Aimco consolidates the Aimco Operating Partnership, which is a variable interest entity, or VIE, for which Aimco is the primary beneficiary. Aimco, through the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a 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.
The VIEs that own interests in conventional apartment communities typically hold between one and five apartment communities and are structured to generate a return for their partners through the operation and ultimate sale of the apartment communities. Substantially all of the VIEs that own interests in affordable apartment communities are partnerships structured to provide for the pass-through of low-income housing tax credits and deductions to their partners. The table below summarizes information regarding VIEs that are consolidated by the Aimco Operating Partnership:

Assets of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s consolidated VIEs must first be used to settle the liabilities of such consolidated VIEs. These consolidated VIEs’ creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Aimco Operating Partnership.

In addition to the consolidated VIEs discussed above, at December 31, 2015, our consolidated financial statements included certain interests in consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships that were part of the legacy asset management business. As discussed in Note 3, the majority of these assets and liabilities were derecognized in June 2016.
Note 7 — Earnings per Share/Unit
Aimco calculates earnings per common share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, participating securities, common stock equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period.
The Aimco Operating Partnership calculates earnings per common unit based on the weighted average number of common partnership units and equivalents, participating securities and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. The Aimco Operating Partnership considers both common OP Units and HPUs, which have identical rights to distributions and undistributed earnings, to be common units for purposes of calculating the earnings per unit data.
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 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 effect of these securities was dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and accordingly has been included in the denominator for calculating diluted earnings per share and unit during these periods.
Certain of our restricted stock awards receive dividends similar to shares of Common Stock and common partnership units. These dividends are not forfeited in the event that the restricted stock does not vest. Therefore, the unvested restricted shares related to these awards are characterized as participating securities in accordance with GAAP. 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. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, there were 0.2 million shares and 0.7 million shares of unvested participating restricted shares, respectively.
Various classes of preferred OP Units of the Aimco Operating Partnership are outstanding. Depending on the terms of each class, these preferred OP Units are convertible into common OP Units or redeemable for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Common Stock, and are paid distributions varying from 1.9% to 8.8% per annum per unit. As of September 30, 2016, a total of 3.9 million preferred OP Units were outstanding with an aggregate redemption value of $103.2 million and were potentially redeemable for approximately 2.2 million shares of Common Stock (based on the period end market price), or cash at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option. The Aimco Operating Partnership has a redemption policy that requires cash settlement of redemption requests for the preferred OP Units, subject to limited exceptions. Accordingly, we have excluded these securities from earnings per share and unit computations and we expect to exclude them in future periods.

Note 8 — Business Segments
We have two reportable segments: conventional real estate operations and affordable real estate operations. Our conventional real estate operations consist of market-rate apartment communities with rents paid by the residents and included 130 apartment communities with 37,772 apartment homes at September 30, 2016. Our affordable real estate operations consisted of 46 apartment communities with 7,610 apartment homes at September 30, 2016, with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency.
Due to the diversity of our economic ownership interests in our apartment communities, 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 reflects our share of rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for the consolidated apartment communities that we own and manage. The following tables present the revenues, net operating income and income before gain on dispositions of our conventional and affordable real estate operations segments on a proportionate basis (excluding amounts related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Quarterly Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, within the meaning of the Federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements regarding: 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 development and redevelopment 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 and 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 and 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 Apartment Investment and Management Company’s and AIMCO Properties, L.P.’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, 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.
Executive Overview
Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership are focused on the ownership, management, redevelopment and limited development of quality apartment communities located in large coastal and job growth markets in the United States. 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 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.

23

Table of Contents

Our principal financial objective is to provide predictable and attractive returns to our equity holders, as measured by growth in Economic Income, which we define as the annual change in net asset value per share plus cash dividends per share, and Adjusted Funds From Operations (defined under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures heading below). Our business plan to achieve this objective is to:
operate our portfolio of desirable apartment homes with valued amenities, with a high level of focus on customer selection and customer satisfaction, and in an efficient manner that realizes the benefits of our corporate systems and local management expertise;
improve our geographically diversified portfolio of apartment communities, which average “B/B+” in quality (defined under the Portfolio Management heading below) by selling lower rated apartment communities and investing the proceeds from such sales through property upgrades, redevelopment, development and acquisition of higher-quality apartment communities;
provide financial leverage primarily by the use of non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate property debt and perpetual preferred equity, a combination which reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk and which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates; and
emphasize a collaborative, respectful, and performance-oriented culture while maintaining high morale and team engagement.
Our business is organized around our strategic areas of focus: excellence in property operations; adding value through redevelopment and limited development; upgrading our portfolio through disciplined portfolio management; maintaining a safe and liquid balance sheet; and fostering a performance culture. Recent accomplishments in the execution of such strategies are discussed below.
Property Operations
We own and operate a diversified portfolio of conventional apartment communities. At September 30, 2016, our conventional portfolio included 138 apartment communities with 39,316 apartment homes in which we held an average ownership of approximately 98%. We also operate a portfolio of affordable apartment communities, which consists of apartments with rents that are generally paid, in whole or part, by a government agency. At September 30, 2016, our affordable portfolio consisted of 55 apartment communities with 8,389 apartment homes. We have 95% average economic interest in the results of operations of the affordable portfolio; however, pursuant to the related partnership agreements, we may be entitled to a lesser percentage of the proceeds from sale of the apartment communities. Our conventional and affordable portfolios comprise our reportable segments and generated 90% and 10%, respectively, of our proportionate property net operating income (defined below under the Results of Operations – Real Estate Operations heading) during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Our property operations team delivered solid results for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  Highlights for the quarter include:
Conventional Same Store net operating income increased year-over-year by 6.3%, consisting of revenue and expense growth of 5.0% and 2.4% respectively;
Increases on renewals and new leases averaged 5.3% and 3.0%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, for a weighted average increase of 4.1% for our conventional same store portfolio;
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, our Conventional portfolio provided a 67% net operating income margin and a 62% free cash flow margin; and
As of September 30, 2016, 73% of the apartment homes at One Canal in Boston were leased at rental rates ahead of underwriting and 48% of the apartment homes at our recently acquired community, Indigo, in Redwood City, California, were leased at rental rates consistent with underwriting. Lease pace at both lease-up communities was well ahead of underwriting.
Net operating income margin represents an apartment community’s proportionate property net operating income as a percentage of the apartment community’s proportionate rental and other property revenues. Free cash flow and free cash flow margin are defined under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures heading below.
Redevelopment and Development
We invest in the redevelopment of certain apartment communities in superior locations and have undertaken 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

24

Table of Contents

an entire building or community is wholly vacated. We execute certain of our redevelopments using a phased approach, in which we renovate portions of an apartment community in stages, which allows additional flexibility in the timing and amount of redevelopment costs and the ability to tailor our product offerings to customer response and rent achievement. In addition, we undertake ground-up development, either directly in connection with the redevelopment of an existing apartment community or, on a more limited basis, at a new location with a third party development partner with expertise in the local market.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we invested $117.8 million in redevelopment, $65.1 million of which related to the ongoing redevelopment of Park Towne Place and The Sterling, mixed-use communities located in Center City Philadelphia. We are redeveloping the four towers at Park Towne Place, one at a time, and at September 30, 2016, we had leased 90% of the completed homes in the South Tower and 59% of the completed homes in the East Tower. Rental rates are consistent with underwriting. Based on this success, we have commenced redevelopment of the North Tower. We are redeveloping The Sterling, a 30-story building, one floor at a time, and at September 30, 2016, we had leased 91% of the completed homes. Rental rates are consistent with underwriting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we began a $15.2 million redevelopment of Saybrook Pointe, a 324 apartment home community located in San Jose, California. Redevelopment of this community will include redesigned kitchens and open living space within the apartment homes. We also began a $25.7 million redevelopment of Yorktown, a 364 apartment home community located in Lombard, Illinois. Redevelopment of Yorktown will include upgrading apartment homes, expansion of the fitness center and renovation of common areas.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we invested $30.5 million in development, primarily in the completion of One Canal in Boston. Lease-up pace is well ahead of expectations with 73% of the apartment homes leased at September 30, 2016, at rental rates above underwriting.
During the second quarter, our Vivo community in Cambridge, Massachusetts achieved stabilized occupancy two months ahead of schedule with rental rates consistent with underwriting.
See below under the Liquidity and Capital Resources – Redevelopment and Development heading for additional information regarding our redevelopments and developments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Portfolio Management
Our portfolio strategy seeks predictable rent growth from a portfolio of apartment communities that is diversified across “A,” “B” and “C+” price points, averaging “B/B+” in quality, and that is also diversified across large coastal and job growth markets in the United States. We measure conventional apartment community quality 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; “C+” quality apartment communities are those with rents greater than $1,100 per month, but lower than 90% of the local market average; and “C” quality apartment communities are those with rents less than $1,100 per month and lower than 90% of the 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 timing for which local markets 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 each year the lowest-rated 5% to 10% of our portfolio and to reinvest the proceeds from such sales in higher quality apartment communities through redevelopment of communities in our current portfolio, occasional development of new communities, and selective acquisitions. Through this disciplined approach to capital recycling, we have significantly increased the quality and expected growth rate of our portfolio.

(1) Average revenue per effective apartment home represents rental and other property revenues divided by the number of occupied apartment homes multiplied by our ownership interest in the apartment community as of the end of the current period.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, our conventional portfolio average revenue per effective apartment home was $1,950, a 7.7% increase compared to three months ended September 30, 2015, due to year-over-year Conventional Same Store average revenue per effective apartment home growth of 5.0% and the sale of conventional apartment communities in 2015 and 2016, with average revenues per effective apartment home substantially lower than those of the retained portfolio. We have reinvested the sales proceeds through redevelopment, development and acquisition of apartment communities with higher rents and better prospects. Average revenue per effective apartment home is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is further discussed under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures heading.
As we execute our portfolio strategy, we expect to increase conventional portfolio average revenue per apartment home at a rate greater than market rent growth; to increase FCF margins; and to increase to 95% or more the percentage of our conventional property net operating income earned in our target markets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we also sold three conventional apartment communities with 1,643 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $301.9 million. We sold one apartment community from our low-income housing tax credit portfolio for gross proceeds of $27.5 million. After repayment of property debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to noncontrolling interests, our share of the net proceeds totaled $10.3 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we acquired for $320 million, Indigo, a 463-home apartment community in Redwood City, California that was in the final stages of construction at the time of acquisition. Following acquisition, we pledged Indigo as collateral for a $145.0 million 10-year fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property loan with an interest rate of 3.34%. This interest rate was 152 basis points above the 10-year Treasury rate at the time of pricing. As of September 30, 2016, our lease pace was ahead of expectations, with approximately 48% of the apartment homes leased, at rental rates consistent with underwriting.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Our leverage strategy seeks to increase financial returns while using leverage with appropriate caution. 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 also focus on the ratios of Proportionate Debt to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Interest Expense.
Proportionate Debt, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Interest Expense, as used in these ratios, are non-GAAP financial measures, which are further discussed and reconciled under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures Leverage Ratios heading. Preferred Equity represents Aimco’s preferred stock and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s preferred OP Units. Our leverage ratios for the trailing twelve month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are presented below:

funded from retained earnings. As of September 30, 2016, we held apartment communities in an unencumbered pool with an estimated fair value of approximately $1.6 billion.
Two credit rating agencies rate our creditworthiness, using different methodologies and ratios for assessing our credit. In 2015, both of these agencies upgraded our credit rating and outlook to 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.
Culture
Our culture is the key to our success. Our emphasis on a collaborative, respectful, and performance-oriented culture is what enables the continuing transformation of the Aimco business. In 2016, Aimco was recognized by the Denver Post as a Top Work Place for the fourth consecutive year.
Key Financial Indicators
The key financial indicator that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our operating performance is Adjusted Funds From Operations. In addition to this indicator, we evaluate our operating performance and financial condition using: Pro forma Funds From Operations; Free Cash Flow; Free Cash Flow capitalization rate; net operating income, or NOI, capitalization rate; same store property operating results; proportionate property NOI; average revenue per effective apartment home; financial coverage ratios; and net leverage. Most of these financial indicators are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined, further described, and for certain of the measures, reconciled to comparable GAAP-based measures, under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures heading.
Results of Operations
Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our apartment communities, the supply of and demand for apartments influences our operating results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our apartment communities and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment communities affect our operating results.
The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015
Net income attributable to Aimco and net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership decreased by $6.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, during the the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decreases in income for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership were principally due to a decrease in operating income mainly due to an increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from redeveloped and developed apartment communities placed into service during 2016 and 2015.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015
Net income attributable to Aimco and net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership increased by $86.9 million and $91.3 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increases in income for Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership were principally due to an increase in gains on dispositions of real estate, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from 2015 acquisitions and redeveloped and developed apartment communities placed into service during 2016 and 2015.
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, our owned real estate portfolio consists primarily of conventional apartment communities, and we also operate a portfolio of affordable apartment communities. Our conventional and affordable property operations comprise our reportable segments.
Due to the diversity of our economic ownership interests in our apartment communities, 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 reflects our share of rental and other property revenues less direct property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for the consolidated apartment communities that we own and manage. Accordingly, the results of

27

Table of Contents

operations of our conventional and affordable segments discussed below are presented on a proportionate basis and exclude the results of four conventional apartment communities with 142 apartment homes and nine affordable apartment communities with 779 apartment homes that we do not manage.
We do not include property management revenues, 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 8 in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further discussion regarding our reportable segments, including a reconciliation of these proportionate amounts to consolidated rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses.
Conventional Real Estate Operations
Our conventional segment consists of apartment communities we classify as Conventional Same Store, Conventional Redevelopment and Development, Conventional Acquisition, and Other Conventional apartment communities. Conventional Same Store apartment communities are those that we own and manage, that have reached stabilized occupancy (greater than 90%) as of January 1, 2015 and maintained it throughout the current and comparable prior periods, and that are not expected to be sold within 12 months. Conventional Redevelopment and Development apartment communities are those currently under construction that are not occupancy stabilized and those that have been completed in recent years that had not achieved and maintained stabilized occupancy for both the current and the comparable prior periods. Conventional Acquisition apartment communities are those we have acquired since January 1, 2015. Other Conventional apartment communities are those that do not meet the Conventional Same Store definition because they have significant rent control restrictions or had not reached and maintained a stabilized level of occupancy as of January 1, 2015, often due to a casualty event, or are expected to be sold within 12 months but do not yet meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
As of September 30, 2016, as defined by our segment performance metrics, our conventional portfolio consisted of the following:
103 Conventional Same Store apartment communities with 31,448 apartment homes;
11 Conventional Redevelopment and Development apartment communities with 4,170 apartment homes;
3 Conventional Acquisition apartment communities with 672 apartment homes; and
13 Other Conventional apartment communities with 1,482 apartment homes.
From December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016, on a net basis, our Conventional Same Store portfolio decreased by four apartment communities and 1,701 apartment homes. This decrease consisted of:
four apartment communities with 1,402 apartment homes that were reclassified as held for sale;
four apartment communities with 1,313 apartment homes that were reclassified into Conventional Redevelopment and Development;
one apartment community with 325 apartment homes that was sold; and
one apartment community with 246 apartment homes that was reclassified into Other Conventional as a result of a casualty event.
These decreases were offset by the addition of four apartment communities with 1,142 apartment homes that were reclassified from our Conventional Acquisition portfolio as we have now owned them for the entirety of both periods presented, and two apartment communities with 443 apartment homes that were reclassified from our Conventional Redevelopment and Development portfolio upon maintaining stabilized occupancy for the entirety of both periods presented.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, our conventional segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $9.4 million, or 7.4%.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, Conventional Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $6.7 million, or 6.3%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $7.9 million, or 5.0%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average revenues (approximately $89 per effective apartment home), comprised primarily of increases in rental rates and an increase in parking fees and utility reimbursement. Rental rates on new leases transacted during the three months ended September 30, 2016, were 3.0% higher than expiring lease rates, and renewal rates were 5.3% higher than expiring lease rates. Conventional Same Store operating expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 2.4%, primarily due to higher real estate taxes, personnel costs and utilities, partially offset by lower administrative and marketing costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to 2015, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility costs, real estate taxes and insurance, increased by $0.5 million, or 2.0%.
Our Conventional Redevelopment and Development proportionate property net operating income increased by $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in net operating income associated with the lease-up of apartment homes placed into service following completion of redevelopment activities. From September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016, we achieved occupancy stabilization at our Lincoln Place, The Preserve at Marin, Ocean House on Prospect and Vivo apartment communities, for which redevelopment or development was completed during 2015. We also continued to lease the redeveloped or developed homes at Park Towne Place, The Sterling and One Canal, whereas such homes were not in service during the comparative period in 2015. This was partially offset by a reduction in revenue associated with apartment homes taken out of service for the current phases of our Park Towne Place, The Sterling, Palazzo at Park La Brea and Saybrook Pointe redevelopments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our conventional segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased $28.0 million, or 7.5%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Conventional Same Store proportionate property net operating income increased by $18.7 million, or 5.9%. This increase was primarily attributable to a $21.9 million, or 4.7%, increase in rental and other property revenues due to higher average revenues (approximately $85 per effective home), comprised primarily of increases in rental rates, partially offset by a 20 basis point decrease in average daily occupancy, a portion of which was due to our decision to move lease expirations from our slower months into peak leasing season with higher demand. Rental rates on new leases transacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, were 3.6% higher than expiring lease rates, and renewal rates were 5.7% higher than expiring lease rates. The increase in Conventional Same Store rental and other property revenues was partially offset by a $3.2 million, or 2.1%, increase in property operating expenses, primarily due to increases in real estate taxes, personnel, repairs and maintenance and turnover costs related to our movement in 2016 of lease expirations into peak leasing season, partially offset by lower utility expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to 2015, controllable operating expenses, which exclude utility costs, real estate taxes and insurance, increased by $2.2 million, or 3.2%.
Our Conventional Redevelopment and Development proportionate property net operating income increased by $7.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to increases in net operating income associated with the lease-up of apartment homes placed into service following completion of redevelopment activities. From September 30, 2015 to September 30, 2016, we achieved occupancy stabilization at our Lincoln Place, The Preserve at Marin, Ocean House on Prospect and Vivo apartment communities, for which redevelopment or development was completed during 2015. We also continued to lease the redeveloped or developed homes at Park Towne Place, The Sterling and One Canal, whereas such homes were not in service during the comparative period in 2015. This was partially offset by a reduction in revenue associated with apartment homes taken out of service for the current phases of our Park Towne Place, The Sterling and Palazzo at Park La Brea redevelopments.
Our Conventional Acquisitions proportionate property net operating income increased by $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the timing of acquisitions.
Affordable Real Estate Operations
Our affordable segment consists primarily of apartment communities that are subject to low-income housing tax credit agreements. At September 30, 2016, as defined by our segment performance metrics, our affordable portfolio consisted of 46 apartment communities with 7,610 apartment homes.

30

Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our affordable segment’s proportionate property net operating income increased by $1.3 million, or 8.9%, and $3.8 million, or 9.1%, respectively. The increases were primarily attributed to an increase in rental income driven by higher rental rates, including market rent increases on four apartment communities that were approved in 2016 by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, partially offset by higher personnel and repairs and maintenance costs.

Non-Segment Real Estate Operations
Real estate operations net operating income amounts not attributed to our conventional or affordable segments include offsite costs associated with property management and casualty losses, reported in consolidated amounts, which we do not allocate to our conventional or affordable segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1).
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, offsite costs associated with property management expenses totaled $6.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, property management expenses totaled $18.2 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Property management expenses increased in each period due to higher personnel and related expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, casualty losses totaled $3.0 million and included one large claim related to fire damage and two large claims related to water damage resulting from damaged pipes. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, casualty losses totaled $0.8 million and included a large claim for fire damage.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, casualty losses totaled $6.0 million and included one large claim related to fire damage and several large claims primarily related to water damage resulting from storms affecting one community and damaged pipes at several others. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, casualty losses totaled $6.4 million and included snow removal costs associated with the severe snow storms in the Northeast and several water damage claims resulting from damaged pipes.
Tax Credit and Asset Management Revenues
We sponsor certain consolidated partnerships that acquire, develop and operate qualifying affordable housing apartment communities and are structured to provide for the pass-through of tax credits and deductions to their partners. We recognize income associated with the delivery of tax credits and deductions generated by these partnerships to the partners.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, tax credit and asset management revenues decreased by $1.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower amortization of tax credit income due to delivery of substantially all of the tax credits on various apartment communities in prior periods. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was largely offset by a $3.6 million fee earned for assisting a third party property owner in a mark-up-to-market renewal related to a property we previously owned.
Investment Management Expenses
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, investment management expenses decreased $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in acquisition-related costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization increased $7.6 million, or 9.9%, and $18.5 million, or 8.2%, respectively, primarily due to capital additions, amounts placed in service as we completed apartment homes in our redevelopments and developments, and apartment communities we acquired, partially offset by decreases associated with fully depreciated real estate assets and apartment communities sold.
Other Expenses, net
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, other expenses, net decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to lower legal costs.

31

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other expenses, net increased by $1.1 million. The increase in other expense was primarily attributed to our recognition of estimated environmental cleanup and abatement costs further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1, partially offset by lower legal and related costs and lower insurance costs.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased by $1.1 million, or 2.3%. The increase was attributed to two of our redevelopments that reached completion of construction and ceased capitalization of related interest costs and higher average borrowings on our revolving credit facility. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by decreases related to lower average outstanding balances on non-recourse property debt for our existing apartment communities and decreases in property debt resulting from apartment community dispositions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense decreased by $5.5 million, or 3.6%. The decrease was attributed to lower average outstanding balances, including a $6.0 million reduction in interest expense due to the repayment of non-recourse property debt and a $4.4 million reduction of interest expense on debt related to apartment communities sold, partially offset by higher interest expense on debt associated with apartment community acquisitions, development financing, and higher average borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
Other, net
Other, net includes our equity in the income or loss of unconsolidated real estate partnerships, and the results of operations related to our legacy asset management business, which we account for under the profit sharing method, as further discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, other, net primarily consisted of net income of $0.4 million and net loss of $1.6 million, respectively, related to our legacy asset management business. As described in Note 3, during the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized the sale of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the legacy asset management business.  Accordingly, other, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, reflects only the results of operations of two communities we continue to account for under the profit sharing method.  Other, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, included a net loss associated with the broader portfolio of partnerships and communities within the legacy asset management business. After income taxes and noncontrolling interests, our share of the net results of the legacy asset management business totaled $0.1 million and $1.2 million of net income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, other, net primarily consisted of net income of $5.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to our legacy asset management business. The increase in net income of the legacy asset management business was primarily due to the gain on the sale of the net liabilities of a portion of the legacy asset management business, as further described in Note 3. This increase is partially offset by higher gains related to property sales that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. After income taxes and noncontrolling interests, our share of the net results of the legacy asset management business totaled $4.3 million of net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $5.8 million of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Income Tax Benefit
Certain of our operations or a portion thereof, including property management, asset management and risk management, are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS entities. Additionally, some of our apartment communities, including redevelopment communities are owned through TRS entities. Income taxes related to the results of operations of our TRS entities (before gains on dispositions) are included in income tax benefit (expense) in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, income tax benefit decreased by $4.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Income tax benefit decreased primarily due to lower net losses recognized by apartment communities owned by our TRS entities and lower historic tax credits associated with the redevelopment of certain apartment communities.
Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate, Net of Tax
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we sold one affordable apartment community for gross proceeds of $27.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $10.3 million after repayment of property debt, payment of transaction costs and distribution of proceeds to the noncontrolling interests. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we did not sell any consolidated apartment communities.

32

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold three conventional apartment communities and one affordable apartment community for gross proceeds of $329.4 million resulting in net proceeds of $312.2 million and a net gain on dispositions of real estate of $237.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we sold five conventional apartment communities and three affordable apartment communities for gross proceeds of $239.8 million resulting in net proceeds of $132.5 million and a net gain on dispositions of real estate of $130.5 million.
NOI capitalization rate and Free Cash Flow, or FCF, capitalization rate are benchmarks used in the real estate industry for relative comparison of real estate valuations, including for apartment community sales, and are defined and further described under the Non-GAAP Performance Measures heading. The NOI and FCF capitalization rates for our consolidated apartment community sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, were as follows:

The apartment communities sold during 2016 and 2015 were primarily outside of our target markets or in less desirable locations within our target markets and had average revenues significantly below those of our retained portfolio. Accordingly, the NOI and FCF capitalization rates for these properties may not be indicative of those of our retained portfolio.
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 the owners not affiliated with Aimco includes their share of property management fees, interest on notes and other amounts that we charge to these partnerships.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we allocated net income of $12.5 million compared to net losses of $0.8 million, respectively, to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, a variance of $13.3 million. This change was primarily due to the allocation in 2016 of gain on dispositions of real estate to noncontrolling interests with no comparable allocations in 2015 because there were no sales in that quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we allocated net income of $22.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, to noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships, a variance of $18.0 million. This change was primarily due to an increase in the allocation of gain on dispositions of real estate to noncontrolling interests and the derecognition in 2016 of the noncontrolling interests related to a portion of the legacy asset management business.
Net Income Attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders
Net income attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders increased by $1.6 million and $0.8 million respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income attributed to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders increased by similar amounts. These increases were partly due to redemption of the Class Z preferred shares during the three months ended September 30, 2016. In connection with the redemption, we wrote off previously deferred issuance costs of $1.3 million. Additionally, the $0.7 million excess of the redemption value over the carrying amount was reflected in net income attributable to Aimco Preferred Stockholders and Aimco Operating Partnership’s Preferred Unitholders. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in preferred dividends due to the timing of redemption of the Class Z preferred stock and redemption charges incurred in the redemption of our Series A CRA Preferred stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
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 critical accounting policies that involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements relate to the impairment of long-lived assets and capitalized costs.

33

Table of Contents

Our critical accounting policies are described in more detail in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our Form 10-K and we believe that the related judgments and assessments have been consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Performance 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 quarterly report, reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP are provided.
Funds from Operations, Pro forma Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations are non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined and further described below under the Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations heading.
Free Cash Flow, as calculated for our retained portfolio, represents an apartment community’s property net operating income, less spending for capital replacements, which represents our estimation of the capital additions made to replace capital assets consumed during our ownership period (further discussed under the Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations and the Liquidity and Capital Resources headings). Free cash flow margin represents an apartment community’s net operating income less $1,200 per apartment home of assumed annual capital replacement spending, as a percentage of the apartment community’s rental and other property revenues. Capital replacement spending is a method of measuring the cost of capital asset usage during the period; therefore we believe that Free Cash Flow 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.
Free Cash Flow capitalization rate and net operating income, or NOI, capitalization rate are benchmarks used in the real estate industry for relative comparison of real estate valuations, including for apartment community sales. For purposes of calculating such capitalization rates for apartment community sales, Free Cash Flow capitalization rate represents an apartment community’s trailing twelve month NOI prior to sale, less $1,200 per apartment home of assumed annual capital replacement spending, divided by gross proceeds, and NOI capitalization rate represents an apartment community’s trailing twelve month NOI prior to sale, less a management fee equal to 3% of revenue, divided by gross proceeds.
Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations, or 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 or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for 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, if dilutive, redemption or repurchase related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock, and adding back dividends/distributions on dilutive preferred securities and premiums or discounts on preferred stock redemptions or repurchases.
In addition to FFO, we compute Pro forma FFO and Adjusted FFO, or 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 (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. AFFO represents Pro forma FFO reduced by Capital Replacements (also adjusted for noncontrolling interests), which represents our estimation of the 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 enhance the value, profitability or 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 that we use to evaluate our operational performance, and which is one of the factors that we use to determine the amounts of our dividend payments.

34

Table of Contents

FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance. Although we use these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing our performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these same measures. Additionally, our computation of AFFO is subject to our definition of Capital Replacement spending. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, Aimco’s FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO are calculated as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, Pro forma FFO (on a diluted per share basis) decreased by 4% as a result of: the loss of income from apartment communities sold in 2015 and 2016; a lower income tax benefit of $4.6 million due to the planned simplification of our TRS entities; and higher casualty losses. The decreases were partially offset by Conventional Same Store Property Net Operating Income growth and increased contribution from redevelopment and acquisition communities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Pro forma FFO (on a diluted per share basis) increased by 5%, as a result of: Conventional Same Store property net operating income growth and increased contribution from redevelopment and acquisition apartment communities. These increases were partially offset by the loss of income from apartment communities that were sold in 2015 and 2016 and a lower income tax benefit of $5.7 million due to the planned simplification of our TRS entities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, AFFO (on a diluted per share basis) decreased by 6%, as a result of lower Pro forma FFO and higher Capital Replacements spending in our apartment communities.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, AFFO (on a diluted per share basis) increased by 4%, as a result of higher Pro forma FFO.
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 amounts of FFO, Pro forma FFO and AFFO to noncontrolling interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership, and no differences between Aimco’s and the Aimco Operating Partnership’s net income amounts 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.
Proportionate Debt, as used in our leverage ratios, is a non-GAAP measure and represents our share of the debt obligations recognized in our consolidated financial statements, as well as our share of the debt obligations of our unconsolidated partnerships, reduced by our share of the cash and restricted cash of our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, and also by our investment in the subordinate tranches of a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt (essentially, our investment in our own non-recourse property loans). In our Proportionate Debt computation, we increase our recorded debt obligations by unamortized debt issuance costs because these amounts represent cash expended in earlier periods and do not reduce our contractual obligation, and we reduce our recorded debt obligations by the amounts of cash and restricted cash on-hand (such restricted cash amounts being 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 obligations 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 performance 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. The items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are generally non-cash items included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP that do not affect our ability to service our debt obligations or preferred equity requirements.
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:
interest expense, preferred dividends and interest income we earn on our investment in the subordinate tranches of a securitization trust that holds certain of our property debt, to allow investors to compare a measure of our earnings before the effects of our capital structure and indebtedness with that of other companies in the real estate industry;
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 considerations;
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 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.
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 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. Our calculation of Adjusted Interest Expense is set forth in the table below. 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 issuance costs, as these amounts have already 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.
For the trailing twelve month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, reconciliations of the most closely related GAAP measures to our calculations of Proportionate Debt, Preferred Equity, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Interest Expense and Preferred Dividends, as used in our leverage ratios, are as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our 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, and investments in, 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 long-term borrowings (primarily non-recourse), the issuance of equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of apartment communities and cash generated from operations.
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.
As of September 30, 2016, approximately 87% of our leverage consisted of property-level, non-recourse, long-dated debt, and 6% consisted of perpetual preferred equity, a combination which reduces our refunding and re-pricing risk. The weighted average maturity of our property-level debt was 7.9 years, with $122.6 million of our unpaid principal balances maturing during the remainder of 2016. On average, 8.8% of our unpaid principal balance will mature each year from 2017 through 2019. Approximately 98% of our property-level debt is fixed-rate, which provides a hedge against increases in interest rates, capitalization rates and inflation.
Although our primary source of leverage is property-level, non-recourse, long-dated, fixed-rate, amortizing debt, we also have a Senior Secured Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which we refer to as our Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides for $600.0 million of revolving loan commitments, which we use for working capital and other short-term purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate set forth on a pricing grid. The Credit Agreement matures in two years, inclusive of a one year extension option. As of September 30, 2016, we had $294.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and we had the capacity to borrow an additional $278.2 million, after consideration of the outstanding borrowings and $27.0 million for undrawn letters of credit backed by the Credit Agreement. Our borrowings under the Credit Agreement represented approximately 7% of our total leverage as of September 30, 2016. We intend to repay substantially

38

Table of Contents

all of the outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement by December 31, 2016, using a combination of proceeds from apartment community sales and proceeds from anticipated property debt financings.
Aimco redeemed all of the outstanding shares of its Class Z Cumulative Preferred Stock on July 29, 2016, at a redemption value of $34.8 million. Concurrent with the redemption, the Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed from Aimco the Class Z Partnership Preferred Units for an equal redemption amount.
As of September 30, 2016, our outstanding perpetual preferred equity represented approximately 6% 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.
The combination of non-recourse property level debt, borrowings under our Credit Agreement 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 9.2 years as of September 30, 2016.
Under the Credit Agreement, we have agreed to Debt Service and Fixed Charge Coverage covenants, as well as other covenants customary for similar revolving credit arrangements. For the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2016, our Debt Service and Fixed Charge Coverage ratios were 2.09x and 1.96x, respectively, compared to covenants of 1.50x and 1.40x, respectively, and ratios of 1.95x and 1.84x, respectively, for the trailing twelve month period ended September 30, 2015. We expect to remain in compliance with these covenants during the next 12 months.
As of September 30, 2016, we had $47.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $109.5 million of restricted cash, a decrease of $2.9 million and an increase of $22.6 million, respectively, from December 31, 2015. Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital additions, property taxes and insurance, and escrows related to tenant security deposits.
The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1 of this report.
Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our net cash provided by operating activities of $276.5 million was primarily related to operating income from our consolidated apartment communities, which is affected primarily by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment communities. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, increased by $18.0 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to improved operating results of our conventional portfolio, increased contribution from our redevelopment apartment communities, and a decrease in cash paid for interest primarily due to the repayment of non-recourse property debt during 2015. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by a decrease in net operating income associated with apartment communities we sold during 2016 and 2015.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our net cash used in investing activities of $234.3 million consisted primarily of our purchase of Indigo and other capital expenditures. We funded a portion of our purchase of Indigo with $25 million in nonrefundable deposits provided to the seller in 2015 and a portion was funded at closing through the issuance of $17 million of preferred OP Units. The balance of the purchase was funded through a combination of proceeds from non-recourse property debt and from the sale of apartment communities. Capital expenditures totaled $259.3 million and $277.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We generally fund capital expenditures with cash provided by operating activities and cash proceeds from apartment community sales.

We categorize our capital spending broadly into six primary categories:
capital replacements, which represent capital additions made to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets;
capital improvements, which are non-redevelopment capital additions that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an apartment community from its original purchase condition;
property upgrades, which may include kitchen and bath remodeling, energy conservation projects, and investments in longer-lived materials designed to reduce turnover costs and maintenance, all of which are generally lesser in scope than redevelopment additions and do not significantly disrupt property operations;

39

Table of Contents

redevelopment additions, which represent capital additions intended to enhance the value of an apartment community through the ability to generate higher average rental revenues, 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 ground-up development of apartment communities; and
casualty replacements spending, which represent capitalized costs incurred in connection with the restoration of an asset after a casualty event such as a severe snow storm, hurricane, tornado, flood or fire.
We exclude from these measures the amounts of capital spending related to apartment communities sold or classified as held for sale at the end of the period. We have also excluded from these measures indirect capitalized costs which are allocated later in the year to apartment communities with capital additions, and their related capital spending categories.
A summary of the capital spending for these categories, along with a reconciliation of the total for these categories to the capital expenditures reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are presented below (dollars in thousands):

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we capitalized $7.8 million and $8.7 million of interest costs, respectively, and $24.1 million and $21.0 million of other direct and indirect costs, respectively.
We invested $53.8 million in property upgrades during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, and we anticipate a full year investment to be approximately $75 million, an increase of approximately $26 million from our property upgrade spending for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Redevelopment and Development
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our redevelopment investment totaled $117.8 million, the majority of which related to two apartment communities, and our development investment totaled $30.5 million and primarily related to the development of one apartment community.

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.
NOI Stabilization represents the period in which we expect the communities to achieve stabilized rents and operating costs, generally five quarters after occupancy stabilization.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we invested $117.8 million in redevelopment, $65.1 million of which related to the ongoing redevelopment of Park Towne Place and The Sterling, mixed-use communities located in Center City Philadelphia. We are redeveloping the four towers at Park Towne Place, one at a time, and at September 30, 2016, had completed 439 of the 701 apartment homes being redeveloped. We had leased 90% of the completed homes in the South Tower and 59% of the completed homes in the East Tower at rental rates consistent with underwriting. Based on this success, we have commenced redevelopment of the North Tower.
We are redeveloping The Sterling, a 30-story building, one floor at a time, and at September 30, 2016, we had completed redevelopment of 433 of the 534 apartment homes in The Sterling on schedule and at a cost consistent with underwriting. We had leased 91% of the completed homes at rental rates consistent with underwriting.
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we began a $15.2 million redevelopment of Saybrook Pointe, a 324 apartment home community located in San Jose, California. Redevelopment of this community will include redesigned kitchens and open living space within the apartment homes. We also began a $25.7 million redevelopment of Yorktown, a 364 apartment home community located in Lombard, Illinois. Redevelopment of Yorktown will include upgrading apartment homes, expansion of the fitness center and renovation of common areas.
We expect our total development and redevelopment spending to range from $185 million to $195 million for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our net cash used in financing activities of $45.1 million was primarily attributed to principal payments on property loans, dividends paid to common security holders and distributions paid to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by net borrowings on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from non-recourse property debt.
Principal payments on property loans during the period totaled $253.3 million, consisting of scheduled principal amortization of $58.8 million and repayments of $194.5 million. Proceeds from non-recourse property debt borrowings during the period consisted of construction draws related to One Canal, the closing of a $21.5 million fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property loan with a 10-year term and the closing of a $145.0 million fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property loan with a 10-year term. The $21.5 million loan has an interest rate of 2.77%, which represented a 129 basis point spread over the 10-year Treasury rate at the time of pricing. The $145.0 million loan has an interest rate of 3.34%, or a 152 basis point spread over the 10-year Treasury rate at the time of pricing. We like the discipline of financing our investments in real estate through the use of fixed-rate, amortizing, non-recourse property debt, as the amortization gradually reduces our leverage, reduces our refunding risk and the fixed-rate provides a hedge against increases in interest rates.
Our net cash used in financing activities also includes $191.6 million of payments to equity holders, as further detailed in the table below.

Pursuant to an At-The-Market offering program active at September 30, 2016, Aimco has the capacity to issue up to 3.5 million shares of its Common Stock. In the event of any such issuances, Aimco would contribute the net proceeds to the Aimco Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of common OP Units equal to the number of shares issued and sold. Additionally, the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco have a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of debt securities by the Aimco Operating Partnership and equity and debt securities by Aimco.
Future Capital Needs
We expect to fund any future acquisitions, redevelopment, development, and other capital spending principally with proceeds from apartment community sales, short-term borrowings, debt and equity financing and operating cash flows. Our near term business plan does not contemplate the issuance of equity securities.
ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of September 30, 2016, on a consolidated basis, we had approximately $84.3 million of variable-rate property debt outstanding and $294.8 million of variable-rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement. We estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads would result in our net income, the amount of net income attributable to Aimco common stockholders and the amount of net income attributable to the Aimco Operating Partnership’s common unitholders being reduced by $3.6 million, $3.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, on an annual basis.
At September 30, 2016, we had approximately $157.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, a portion of which bear interest at variable rates and may mitigate the effect of an increase in variable rates on our variable-rate debt discussed above.
We estimate the fair value for our debt instruments as described in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. The estimated aggregate fair value of our consolidated debt (inclusive of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement) was approximately $4.3 billion at September 30, 2016, inclusive of a $185 million mark-to-market liability (an increase of $65 million as compared to the mark-to-market liability at December 31, 2015). Approximately $179 million of the mark-to market liability accrues to Aimco equity holders. The combined carrying value of our consolidated debt (excluding unamortized debt issue costs) was approximately $4.1 billion at September 30, 2016. If market rates for our fixed-rate debt were higher by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of our debt discussed above would have decreased from $4.3 billion to $4.1 billion. If market rates for our debt discussed above were lower by 100 basis points with constant credit risk spreads, the estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt would have increased from $4.3 billion to $4.4 billion.

The terms of the Aimco Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement do not provide for a maximum number of units that may be repurchased, and other than the express terms of its Partnership Agreement, the Aimco Operating Partnership has no publicly announced plans or programs of repurchase. However, whenever Aimco repurchases shares of its Common Stock, it is expected that Aimco will fund the repurchase with proceeds from a concurrent repurchase by the Aimco Operating Partnership of common partnership units held by Aimco at a price per unit that is equal to the price per share paid for its Common Stock.
Aimco and the Aimco Operating Partnership
Dividend and Distribution Payments. Our Credit Agreement includes customary covenants, including a restriction on dividends and distributions and other restricted payments, but permits dividends and distributions during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of Aimco’s Funds From Operations, subject to certain non-cash adjustments, for such period or such amount as may be necessary for Aimco to maintain its REIT status.
