Aimco Reports First Quarter 2025 Results and Recent Highlights

DENVER, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Apartment Investment and Management Company ("Aimco") (NYSE: AIV) announced today first quarter results for 2025 and provided highlights on recent activities.

Financial Results

• Aimco's net loss attributable to common stockholders per share, on a fully dilutive basis, was $(0.10) for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
• Net Operating Income ("NOI") from Aimco's Stabilized Operating Properties was $25.1 million in the first quarter 2025, up 2.7% year-over-year.

CEO Commentary

Wes Powell, Aimco President and Chief Executive Officer, comments:

"We continue to see strong demand for rental housing across the Aimco portfolio. 

"At our stabilized properties, primarily located in suburban Boston and Chicago, average revenue per home is now greater than $2,300 per month and effective rental rate growth accelerated in April, increasing 5.8% over the prior lease. In addition, 2025 average daily occupancy has remained strong through April at greater than 97%, in line with 2024.

"In April, we completed the lease-up of our luxury single-family-rental community in Corte Madera, California and expect to reach stabilized occupancy later this quarter. Aimco's two newly constructed apartment communities in the Washington, D.C. market remain on track to reach stabilized occupancy by year end. Leasing at these properties has been in line with expectations thus far through 2025 and they are well positioned given their high quality and the broad customer segments they attract.

"Aimco has one development project currently under construction, financed in partnership with a leading investment firm and located on Miami's waterfront. The ultra-luxury tower remains on schedule and budget, with more than 97% of the project having been bought out and pricing protected via a guaranteed maximum price construction contract.

"In addition, the Aimco balance sheet remains strong and flexible, with appropriate liquidity and contractual options extending our debt's weighted average maturity to more than five years.

"We remain committed to accretive and disciplined capital allocation. During the first quarter, Aimco returned $0.60 per share to stockholders in the form of a special dividend, an amount representing the net proceeds received from 2024 asset sales. Further, the previously announced $520 million contract to sell Aimco's assets located on Brickell Bay Drive in Miami, Florida ("the Brickell Assemblage") is scheduled to close later this year with the buyer having increased its non-refundable deposit to $43 million. Additionally, and in collaboration with Aimco's Board and advisory team, we continue to actively explore opportunities to further unlock and maximize stockholder value.

"Finally, Aimco's performance is made possible by a committed team and proven platform which has recently been selected to receive several awards for culture, engagement, and performance. I offer my sincere appreciation for the team's commitment to create value for Aimco stockholders, their fellow teammates and the communities in which we operate."

Highlights

• Aimco's Stabilized Operating revenue, expenses, and NOI increased 2.7%, 2.7%, and 2.7%, respectively, year-over-year in the first quarter, with average daily occupancy flat year-over-year at 97.9% and average monthly revenue per apartment home increasing by 2.7% to $2,309.
• Aimco's three recently completed residential development projects currently in lease-up, containing a total of 933 units, remain on plan to reach stabilized occupancy in 2025.
• In March, the buyer, with which Aimco is under agreement to sell the Brickell Assemblage for $520 million, exercised a contractual closing extension option that required its non-refundable deposit to be increased by $5 million, from $38 million to $43 million.
• In January, Aimco paid a special cash dividend of $0.60 per share to stockholders, distributing the net proceeds from 2024 asset sales.

Operating Property Results

• Expenses in the first quarter 2025 were up 2.7% year-over-year and 9.6% compared to the fourth quarter 2024, primarily due to seasonal related expenses and higher real estate taxes expected from 2025 property assessments and prior period adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter 2024.
• NOI in the first quarter 2025 was $25.1 million, up 2.7% year-over-year.

Value Add and Opportunistic Investments

Development and Redevelopment

Aimco generally seeks development and redevelopment opportunities where barriers to entry are high, target customers can be clearly defined, and Aimco has a comparative advantage over others in the market. Aimco's value add and opportunistic investments may also target portfolio acquisitions, operational turnarounds, and re-entitlements.

As of March 31, 2025, Aimco had one multifamily development project under construction and three multifamily communities that have been substantially completed and are now in lease-up. In addition to Aimco's core multifamily developments, The Benson Hotel and Faculty Club was completed in 2023 and remains in the stabilization process.

Aimco also has a pipeline of future value add opportunities in Southeast Florida, the Washington D.C. Metro Area, and Colorado's Front Range.

During the first quarter, $20.6 million of capital was invested in Aimco's development and redevelopment activities, primarily funded through construction loan draws. Updates on active development projects and Aimco's pipeline include:

• In Upper Northwest Washington D.C., all 689 apartment homes at Upton Place were delivered in 2024 and construction is substantially complete. As of April 30, 2025, 413 units were leased or pre-leased and 344 were occupied. Additionally, as of April 30, 2025, approximately 92% of the project's 105K square feet of retail space had been leased with our two large anchor tenants open for business.
• In Bethesda, Maryland, all 220 of the highly tailored apartment homes at the first phase of Strathmore Square were delivered in 2024 and construction is substantially complete. As of April 30, 2025, 132 units had been leased or pre-leased and 109 were occupied.
• In Corte Madera, California, construction is complete at Oak Shore. As of April 30, 2025, the ultra-luxury single-family rental community was 96% leased, with 22 of the 24 homes occupied.
• In Miami'sEdgewater neighborhood, construction remains on schedule and budget at 34^th Street, an ultra-luxury waterfront residential tower that will include rental homes averaging more than 2,500 square feet, with oversized private terraces, top-of-the-line finishes, and unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay. As of April 30, 2025, more than 97% of the project has been bought out with pricing protected via a guaranteed maximum price construction contract. Aimco expects to welcome the first residents in 3Q 2027 and to stabilize occupancy in 4Q 2028.
• In the first quarter 2025, Aimco invested $1.4 million into programming, design, documentation, and entitlement efforts primarily related to its 901 North development site, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Investment & Disposition Activity

Aimco is focused on prudently allocating capital and delivering strong investment returns. Consistent with Aimco's capital allocation philosophy, it aims to monetize the value within its assets when accretive uses of the proceeds are identified and invest when the risk-adjusted returns are superior to other uses of capital.

• In December 2024, Aimco entered into an agreement to sell, during 2025, the Brickell Assemblage for a gross price of $520 million.
  • The buyer's initial non-refundable deposit of $38 million was increased in March 2025 to $43 million in exchange for the buyer extending closing to August of 2025, as allowed under the terms of the contract.
  • The sale remains subject to certain closing conditions and one remaining extension option that would extend closing at the buyer's option to the fourth quarter of 2025, with such extension requiring the buyer to further increase its non-refundable deposit.
  • Prior to closing, the buyer has the right to exercise an option to finance, for a period of 18 months, up to $115 million of the purchase price with a transferable seller financing note from Aimco. If exercised, the purchase price increases by $20 million, to $540 million, and the note would carry an annual interest rate of 12%.
  • Net proceeds from the transaction, accounting for the associated property-level debt and deferred tax liability, are estimated to range from $300 to $320 million depending on the buyer's election regarding seller financing. Upon receipt, Aimco intends to return the majority of the net proceeds from the transaction to stockholders.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

Aimco is highly focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet, including ample liquidity. As of March 31, 2025, Aimco had access to $225.2 million, including $49.1 million of cash on hand, $27.6 million of restricted cash, and the capacity to borrow up to $148.5 million on its $150.0 million revolving credit facility.

Aimco's net leverage as of March 31, 2025, was as follows:

As of March 31, 2025, 100% of Aimco's total debt was either fixed rate or hedged with interest rate cap protection. Considering investments under contract to sell and including contractual extensions, Aimco has no debt maturing prior to June 2027.

Public Market Equity

Special Cash Dividend

• On December 19, 2024, Aimco's Board of Directors declared a $0.60 per share special cash dividend to distribute the net proceeds from 2024 asset sales to stockholders. The dividend was paid on January 31, 2025, to holders of record as of January 14, 2025.

Repurchases

• In January, prior to the $0.60 dividend distribution and Aimco's Board of Directors announcing the expansion of its strategic review process, Aimco repurchased 29,498 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $8.66 per share. Since the start of 2022, Aimco has repurchased 14.5 million shares.
• In the first quarter 2025, Aimco Operating Partnership redeemed 11,477 units of its equity securities for cash at a weighted average price of $9.22 per unit, inclusive of the $0.60 dividend distribution.

Commitment to Enhance Stockholder Value 

On January 9, 2025, Aimco and its Board of Directors announced that, while pleased with the transformation and simplification of the Aimco portfolio and the objective results delivered over the past four years, shares of AIV continue to trade at a meaningful discount to Aimco's estimate of the private market value of Aimco's assets and investment platform. This disconnect has limited Aimco's ability to fund new investment opportunities and accelerate growth.

Therefore, Aimco's Board of Directors announced its decision to explore additional alternatives in an effort to further unlock and maximize stockholder value. The strategic process has expanded upon Aimco's ongoing efforts such as reducing exposure to development activity and monetizing certain assets, and includes, but is not limited to, the exploration of a sale or merger of Aimco as a whole, potential sales of the major components of the business (in one or a series of transactions), and an acceleration of individual asset sales. The Board of Directors' guiding principle is to produce an outcome that delivers maximum value to Aimco stockholders. The strategic process is being overseen by Aimco's Investment Committee, comprised of four independent Aimco Board Members. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is serving as financial advisor to Aimco.

There can be no assurance that this expanded strategic process will result in any transaction or transactions or other strategic changes or outcomes, and the timing or outcome of any such event is similarly uncertain. Aimco does not intend to disclose or comment on developments related to the foregoing unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
