DENVER, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS:
Apartment Investment and Management Company (Aimco) (NYSE: AIV) today
announced results for the third quarter 2008. In accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), all previously reported share and per
share data have been adjusted to take into account the special dividends paid
on January 30, 2008 and August 29, 2008, which resulted in the issuance of
approximately 4.6 million and 5.7 million additional shares of Aimco's Class A
Common Stock, respectively.
-- Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter was
$163.6 million, compared with a loss of $21.4 million for the
third quarter 2007. Higher results were driven primarily by
higher gains on dispositions of real estate of $205.4 million,
higher investment management income, net of tax, of $14.2 million
and higher property net operating income of $6.9 million. These
items were partially offset by lower income from discontinued
operations (excluding gains on dispositions of real estate) of
$18.2 million, higher depreciation and amortization of $9.8
million, higher general and administrative expenses of $6.7
million and lower interest income of $5.4 million. Earnings per
share (EPS) attributable to common stockholders was $1.81 on a
diluted basis, compared with a loss of $0.20 per share in the
third quarter 2007.
-- Funds from operations (diluted) (FFO) is a non-GAAP financial
measure defined in the glossary in the Supplemental Information
(the Glossary).
-- FFO calculated in accordance with the definition prescribed
by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT) was $75.9 million, or $0.82 per share, compared with
$80.2 million, or $0.74 per share, in the third quarter 2007.
-- FFO, before the deduction of impairment losses of $0.04 per
share and the benefit of net preferred redemption gains of
$0.02 per share, was $78.3 million, or $0.84 per share.
-- Before the $0.06 effect of casualty losses associated with
Hurricane Ike and Tropical Storm Fay, the deduction of
impairment losses, and the benefit of net redemption gains,
FFO was $0.90 per share, or $0.07 per share higher than the
mid-point of guidance as restated for the August 29, 2008
special dividend. Higher investment management income, net
of tax, contributed $0.14 per share to the FFO outperformance
and Same Store operating results contributed an additional
$0.02 per share. Negative variances included higher property
management expenses, general and administrative expenses and
provisions for loan losses.
-- Adjusted funds from operations (diluted) (AFFO; a non-GAAP financial
measure defined in the Glossary) was $51.8 million, or $0.57 per share,
compared with $55.9 million, or $0.52 per share, in the third quarter
2007. AFFO includes deductions of $0.27 and $0.25 per share for
capital replacement expenditures in the third quarter 2008 and the
third quarter 2007, respectively.

Management Comments
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Terry Considine comments: "We had a
solid third quarter. Property operations produced conventional same-store net
operating income growth of 4.3% when compared to the third quarter 2007.
Conventional redevelopment leased approximately 1,700 units at substantial
increases to rents in place prior to redevelopment. Our redevelopment
inventory is down, which will reduce future 'drag' from units held vacant.
Our transactions teams successfully executed approximately $816 million in
property sales during the quarter generating $348 million in net proceeds to
Aimco to reduce leverage and fund investments, including redevelopment and
share repurchases. We enjoy substantial liquidity and our occupancies are at
95%. Looking forward, we recognize that the environment has become more
challenging. Accordingly, we are focused on serving and retaining customers;
controlling costs and capital spending; building cash and reducing leverage;
and recycling capital to our target markets."
Chief Financial Officer Tom Herzog adds: "Our liquidity remains sound and
we continue to maintain a safe balance sheet. Our full year FFO guidance is
$3.06 to $3.16 per share, which represents guidance provided in our second
quarter earnings release with adjustments for the $0.21 per share impact of
the August 29th special dividend and $0.06 per share effect of casualty losses
associated with Hurricane Ike and Tropical Storm Fay. When taking into
consideration these two adjustments, our full year FFO guidance is unchanged."
Property Operations
Conventional Real Estate Operations
Aimco is among the nation's largest owners and operators of market rate
apartment communities. Conventional real estate operations consist of Aimco's
diversified portfolio of market rate apartment communities. At the end of the
third quarter 2008, this portfolio included 358 properties with 105,280 units
in which Aimco had a weighted average ownership of 90%. During the third
quarter 2008, conventional real estate operations generated net operating
income of $147.2 million.
"Same Store" Results
In the third quarter 2008, the Same Store portfolio included 255
communities with 71,319 Effective Units (see the Glossary) based on Aimco's
weighted average ownership of 91% (See Supplemental Schedules 6a through 6c).
Comparing Same Store results in the third quarter 2008 with the third
quarter 2007, total revenue increased $4.7 million, or 2.3%. The increase in
revenue was primarily generated by higher average rent, up $13 per unit, or
1.4%, from $924 per unit to $937 per unit, and higher occupancy, which was up
40 basis points from 94.7% to 95.1%. Same Store expenses of $82.3 million
decreased $0.5 million, or 0.6%, compared with the prior year, primarily due
to decreases in several areas including personnel and related expenses,
marketing and contract services. These decreases were partially offset by
increases in utilities, repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance. Same Store portfolio net operating income was $124.7 million for
the third quarter 2008, up 4.3% from the third quarter 2007.

Comparing Same Store results on a sequential basis, total revenue
increased $1.5 million, or 0.7%, in the third quarter 2008 compared with the
second quarter 2008, driven by a $3 per unit increase in average rental rates
and an increase in occupancy of 30 basis points. Expenses increased $1.8
million, or 2.2%, primarily due to higher turnover costs, personnel expenses,
real estate taxes and insurance, partially offset by lower utilities and
contract services. Net operating income decreased $0.3 million, or 0.2%, on a
sequential basis.
Affordable Real Estate Operations
Aimco is among the nation's largest owners and operators of affordable
apartment communities. At the end of the third quarter 2008, Aimco's owned
affordable portfolio included 305 properties with 35,805 units in which Aimco
had an average ownership of 51%. During the third quarter 2008, affordable
property operations generated net operating income of $21.1 million. Average
month-end occupancy for the affordable portfolio increased 30 basis points
from 97.4% for the third quarter 2007 to 97.7 % for the third quarter 2008,
while average rent per unit increased 3.5% from $744 to $770 per unit.
Investment Management
Investment management includes portfolio strategy, capital allocation,
joint ventures, tax credit syndication, acquisitions, dispositions and other
transaction activities. Within our owned portfolio, we refer to these
activities as Portfolio Management, and their benefit is seen in property
operating results and in investment gains. For affiliated partnerships, we
refer to these activities as Asset Management for which we are separately
compensated through fees paid by third party investors.
Investment management income includes the fees earned for providing asset
management services to third party investors, syndication fees and deferred
income related to tax credit activities, and portfolio management income
earned through investment gains on our owned assets. Consolidated investment
management income, net of tax, was $29.9 million in the third quarter 2008
compared to $15.7 million in the third quarter 2007. See Supplemental
Schedule 11 for additional information on investment management income.
Portfolio Management
Portfolio management includes the ongoing allocation of investment capital
to meet our geographic and product type goals. Our geographic allocation
strategy focuses on the largest 20 U.S. markets as measured by total market
capitalization. We believe these markets to be deep, relatively liquid and
possessing desirable long-term growth characteristics. They are primarily
coastal markets, and also include a number of Sun Belt cities and Chicago,
Illinois. We may also invest in other markets on an opportunistic basis. As
we implement this strategy, we expect to reduce our investment in markets
outside the largest 20 markets and to increase our investment in the largest
20 markets both by making acquisitions and through redevelopment spending.
See Supplemental Schedules 6 and 7 for additional details regarding
Aimco's portfolio allocation.
ACQUISITIONS -- During the third quarter 2008, Aimco had no significant
acquisition activity.
DISPOSITIONS -- Aimco regularly reviews its portfolio to identify
properties that do not meet its long-term investment criteria. In the third
quarter 2008, Aimco sold 40 conventional properties and five affordable
properties with 9,493 and 1,196 units, respectively, for $815.9 million in
gross proceeds (Aimco share $653.5 million). Aimco's share of net proceeds
after repayment of existing property debt and transaction costs was $347.9
million. Aimco exited three markets during the third quarter: Hartford, CT,
Las Vegas, NV and Tucson, AZ.
Aimco's property dispositions resulted in gains on dispositions of real
estate (including gains on dispositions of unconsolidated real estate and
other and gains within discontinued operations) of $228.7 million for the
third quarter 2008, compared with gains of $23.2 million for the third quarter
2007.
See Supplemental Schedule 8 for additional information on acquisition and
disposition activity.
Redevelopment
Aimco actively reinvests in and upgrades its portfolio through property
redevelopments. At the end of the third quarter 2008, Aimco had 43 active
conventional redevelopment projects and 18 active tax credit redevelopment
projects in process. Aimco's share of total redevelopment expenditures was
$90.2 million during the third quarter 2008. Conventional redevelopment
project expenditures totaled $54.2 million and tax credit redevelopment
project expenditures totaled $36.0 million for the quarter. Further
information on redevelopment projects is provided in Supplemental Schedule 10.
Additional Financial Information
INTEREST INCOME -- Consolidated interest income was $5.3 million for the
third quarter 2008 compared with $10.8 million for the third quarter 2007.
Interest income is earned in part from money market and interest bearing
accounts as well as on notes receivable from unconsolidated partnerships and
non-affiliates. The decrease in interest income of $5.5 million is primarily
the result of lower interest rates.
DEBT ACTIVITY -- During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Aimco
closed loans on 53 properties generating gross proceeds of $509.1 million at a
weighted average interest rate of 5.45%. This included refinancing $190.9
million in existing mortgage loans. After repayment of existing property
debt, transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, Aimco's share
of net proceeds was $279.4 million.
As of September 30, 2008, Aimco had $6.9 billion of consolidated debt
outstanding, which consisted of: $5.3 billion of fixed rate mortgage debt;
$1.5 billion of floating rate property and corporate debt; and $81.5 million
of other borrowings. In addition, Aimco had $73.0 million of floating rate
preferred stock outstanding. The fixed and floating rate property debt is
primarily non-recourse. Aimco's FFO exposure to changes in floating interest
rates is mitigated by $609.0 million of tax-exempt bonds with rates tied to
the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index
(SIFMA) (previously named the Bond Market Association Index), which has
historically moved at approximately 0.69% for a 1.00% change in LIBOR,
although a dislocation in this relationship occurred in the latter part of the
third quarter. Aimco's exposure is further offset by floating rate assets,
such as cash and notes receivable, and interest capitalized on entitlement and
redevelopment properties. Based on Aimco's proportionate share of quarter-end
balances (see Supplemental Schedule 3), Aimco estimates its sensitivity to a
100 basis point change in LIBOR to be approximately $0.015 per share per
quarter.
See Supplemental Schedule 5 for more detail on debt characteristics and
activity.
INTEREST EXPENSE -- Consolidated interest expense was $94.6 million for
the third quarter 2008 compared with $92.7 million for the third quarter 2007.
The $1.9 million increase in interest expense is the result of higher balances
on property debt, partially offset by lower weighted average interest rates.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY -- During the third quarter 2008, Aimco repurchased
approximately 2.9 million shares of its Class A Common Stock at an average
price of $34.45 per share for a total cost of $100.0 million.
During the month of October 2008, Aimco repurchased approximately 2.0
million shares of its Class A Common Stock at an average price of $24.77 per
share for a total cost of $50.0 million. Since Aimco began repurchasing
shares during the third quarter 2006, the company has repurchased
approximately 23.7 million shares, or approximately 24% of shares outstanding
on June 30, 2006, at an average price of $38.84 per share for a total cost of
$919.6 million.
Although for financial statement purposes GAAP requires that historical
share repurchases be restated to reflect shares issued in connection with the
special dividends paid on January 30, 2008 and August 29, 2008, the number of
shares repurchased as described above has not been adjusted.
We are currently authorized to repurchase approximately 19.3 million
additional shares. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Also during the third quarter 2008, Aimco repurchased 54 shares, or $27.0
million in liquidation preference, of our Series A Community Reinvestment Act
Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, for cash totaling $24.8
million. The $2.2 million excess of the carrying value over the redemption
price, offset by $0.7 million of issuance costs, represents a net preferred
stock redemption gain. Consistent with the treatment of preferred stock
redemption costs, these amounts are reflected as an adjustment to NAREIT FFO.
See Supplemental Schedule 1 for more detail on the components of FFO and AFFO.
G&A -- General and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2008 of
$27.3 million increased $6.7 million when compared with the third quarter 2007
primarily due to personnel and related costs and timing of certain
expenditures.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter 2008, FFO, before impairment losses and preferred
redemption charges, is expected to be in a range from $0.71 to $0.81 per share
and we are adjusting our full year FFO guidance from a range of $3.33 to $3.43
per share to a range of $3.06 to $3.16 per share to take into consideration
additional shares issued in connection with the August 29, 2008 special
dividend and casualty losses associated with Hurricane Ike and Tropical Storm
Fay. Please refer to the Outlook Schedule, which follows the Consolidated
Financial Statements in this release, for more detail on fourth quarter and
full year 2008 guidance.
Dividends on Common Stock
As announced on October 16, 2008, the Aimco Board of Directors declared a
special dividend of $1.80 per share of Class A Common Stock, to be paid on
December 1, 2008, to stockholders of record on
October 27, 2008. A portion of the special dividend in the amount of $0.60
per share represents payment of the regular dividend for the quarter ended
September 30, 2008, and a portion represents an additional dividend payment in
the amount of $1.20 per share associated with taxable gains arising from
property dispositions in 2008.
The special dividend will be payable in a combination of cash and
additional shares of Class A Common Stock. The aggregate amount of cash
payable to stockholders in the special dividend, other than cash payable in
lieu of fractional shares, will not exceed $53.2 million. Subject to this
limitation on the aggregate amount of cash payable, stockholders may elect to
receive payment of the special dividend in cash or in shares, except that cash
will be paid in lieu of fractional shares. Stockholders who do not make an
election will receive $0.60 per share in cash. Stockholders who elect to
receive the special dividend in all cash will receive payment in the form of
at least $0.60 per share in cash.
A prospectus and election form was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 28, 2008 and mailed to stockholders of record as of
October 27, 2008. The prospectus describes in detail the terms of the special
dividend, including the ability of stockholders to elect to receive the
special dividend in the form of cash or shares of Aimco's Class A Common
Stock, and a limitation on the aggregate amount of cash to be included in the
special dividend. The cash or stock election must be exercised prior to 5:00
p.m. (EDT) on November 19, 2008.
Aimco expects the special dividend to be a taxable dividend to its
stockholders, without regard to whether a particular stockholder receives the
dividend in the form of cash or shares. It therefore allows Aimco to satisfy
its REIT distribution requirement while preserving cash for other corporate
purposes, including debt reduction and share repurchases.
Share and per share amounts disclosed in the accompanying earnings release
and supplemental schedules have not been retroactively adjusted for the effect
of shares to be issued pursuant to this special dividend, as the number of
shares is not presently determinable. Such retroactive adjustments will be
reflected in earnings releases and financial information prepared subsequent
to the payment date.
Cash dividends declared on Class A Common Stock attributable to the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, totaled $1.80 per share, or 98% of AFFO
(undiluted) and 69% of FFO (diluted), on a per share basis, and a 6.9% cash
yield based on the $35.02 closing price of Aimco's Class A Common Stock on
September 30, 2008. Cash dividends attributable to the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, include that portion of the October 2008 special dividend
that represents payment of the regular dividend for the third quarter 2008.

Forward-looking Statements
This earnings release and Supplemental Information contain
forward-looking statements, including statements regarding projected results
and specifically forecasts of fourth quarter and full year 2008 results.
These forward-looking statements are based on management's judgment as of this
date and include certain risks and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, Aimco's ability to maintain current or meet
projected occupancy, rent levels and Same Store results and Aimco's ability to
close transactions necessary to generate fee income as anticipated. 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 that are beyond the control of Aimco including, without limitation:
natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national and local
economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy costs; the
terms of governmental regulations that affect Aimco and interpretations of
those regulations; the competitive environment in which Aimco operates;
financing risks, including the risk that our cash flows from operations may be
insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate
risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic
climate in the markets in which Aimco operates and competition for tenants in

associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and
possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that
may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties
presently owned or previously owned by Aimco. 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
Aimco's financial statements and notes thereto, as well as the risk factors
described in Aimco's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2007, and the other documents Aimco files from time to time with the

Outlook and Forward Looking Statement
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008
(unaudited)
This Earnings Release and Supplemental Information contain forward-looking
statements, including statements regarding projected results and specifically
forecasts of fourth quarter and full year 2008 results. These forward-looking
statements are based on management's judgment as of this date and include
certain risks and uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, Aimco's ability to maintain current or meet projected occupancy,
rent levels and Same Store results and Aimco's ability to close transactions
necessary to generate transactional income as anticipated.
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 that are beyond the control of Aimco including, without
limitation: natural disasters and severe weather such as hurricanes; national
and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; energy
costs; the terms of governmental regulations that affect Aimco and
interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which
Aimco operates; financing risks, including the risk that our cash flows from
operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and
interest; real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and
the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in
such markets; insurance risk; acquisition and development risks, including
failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; the
timing of acquisitions and dispositions; litigation, including costs
associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and
possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that
may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties
presently owned or previously owned by Aimco. 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 Aimco's financial statements and notes
thereto, as well as the risk factors described in Aimco's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the other documents Aimco
files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
forward-looking statements reflect management's judgment as of this date, and
Aimco assumes no obligation to revise or update them to reflect future events
or circumstances.
Fourth Quarter 2008 Full Year 2008
GAAP earnings per
share [1][4] -$0.65 to -$0.55 $3.48 to $3.58
FFO per share [2][5] $0.70 to $0.80 $3.06 to $3.16

operating assumptions:
Weighted average
daily occupancy 94% to 95% 94% to 95%
NOI change - sequential 0.0% to 0.6%
NOI change - 2008 vs. 2007 2.0% to 3.0% 3.25% to 3.75%
[1] Aimco's earnings per share guidance does not include estimates for
(i) gains on dispositions or impairment losses due to the
unpredictable timing of transactions, (ii) gains or losses on early
repayment of debt, (iii) preferred stock redemption related costs or
(iv) potential future share repurchases beyond October or special
dividends.
[2] FFO per share represents FFO before impairment losses and preferred
redemption related charges or gains. Full year 2008 FFO per share
represents guidance provided in our second quarter earnings release
with adjustments for the impact of the August 29, 2008 special
dividend and casualty losses associated with Hurricane Ike and
Tropical Storm Fay. When taking into consideration these two
adjustments, our full year FFO guidance is unchanged.
[3] Outlook for AFFO is provided on an annual basis. AFFO per share has
been adjusted for the impact of the August 29, 2008 stock dividend
and casualty losses associated with Hurricane Ike and Tropical Storm
Fay.
[4] The GAAP earnings per share is calculated based on 87.4 million and
92.0 million weighted average common shares (diluted) for fourth
quarter 2008 and full year 2008, respectively. These share counts
include approximately 10.3 million shares issued in connection with
the January and August 2008 special dividends, and exclude
approximately 2.0 million shares repurchased in October. Weighted
average common shares (diluted) for the fourth quarter 2008 and full
year 2008 do not include shares to be issued on December 1, 2008, in
connection with the special dividend announced on October 16, 2008,
as the number of shares to be issued will not be determinable until
the valuation dates of November 20 and 21, 2008, have passed.
[5] FFO per share and AFFO per share are calculated based on 87.7 million
and 94.1 million weighted average common shares (diluted) for the
fourth quarter 2008 and full year 2008, respectively. These share
counts include approximately 10.3 million shares issued in connection
with the January and August 2008 special dividends, and exclude
approximately 2.0 million shares repurchased in October. Weighted
average common shares (diluted) for the fourth quarter 2008 and full
year 2008 do not include shares to be issued on December 1, 2008, in
connection with the special dividend announced on October 16, 2008,
as the number of shares to be issued will not be determinable until
the valuation dates of November 20 and 21, 2008, have passed.
[6] Projected cash dividends are expected to be covered by AFFO,
excluding the dividends paid on shares issued in connection with the
January and August stock dividends. When taking into consideration
cash dividends paid on these additional shares, total projected 2008
cash dividends are expected to exceed AFFO by approximately 5%. The
January and August stock dividends were required to avoid corporate
level income tax generated from gains on sales of real estate assets
in 2008.
Special Supplement to Third Quarter 2008 Earnings Release
December 2007 and July 2008 Special Dividends
In December 2007, Aimco declared a special dividend, which was paid on
January 30, 2008, in a combination of cash and stock. In July 2008, Aimco
declared a second special dividend, which was paid on August 29, 2009, in a
combination of cash and stock. Accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (GAAP) require that all reported per share data, for current
and prior periods, be adjusted to reflect the issuance of the shares in
connection with these special dividends as if such shares had been issued at
the beginning of the earliest period presented. The following table provides
Aimco's results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as
reported in 2007, prior to the special dividends, and as currently reported,
after the effect of the special dividends:
