American Campus Communities, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 19, 2021--American Campus Communities, Inc. (NYSE:ACC) today announced the following financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Highlights
•Reported net income attributable to ACC of $15.6 million or $0.11 per fully diluted share, versus $80.9 million or $0.58 per fully diluted share in the first quarter 2020.
•Reported FFOM of $79.5 million or $0.57 per fully diluted share versus $97.6 million or $0.70 per fully diluted share in the first quarter prior year.
•Same store net operating income (“NOI”) decreased by 11.0 percent versus the first quarter prior year, as the COVID-19 impacts on the current academic year’s occupancy levels resulted in a 6.4 percent decrease in revenues and only a 0.5 percent increase in operating expenses.
•Awarded a third-party on-campus development project at Drexel University for the renovation of Kelly Hall, a 1960s-era community-bath residence hall.
•Commenced construction on a third-party on-campus development project at Concordia University.
•Published an Environmental, Social, Governance (“ESG”) report outlining the company’s year-in-review of ESG initiatives and its ongoing commitment to healthy, sustainable environments conducive to academic achievement.
•Awarded two National Association of Home Builders’ 2020 Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards for the Best in Green Market Rate Multifamily Community for Plaza Verde in Irvine, CA, and the Best Student Housing Community On Campus for The Academic and Residential Complex located on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago.
“The year is off to a good start with operating results trending well relative to our expectations,” said Bill Bayless, American Campus Communities CEO. “We are pleased with the positive signs we are seeing in the business fundamentals, as students continue to return to campus this spring and universities continue to make announcements regarding plans for a return to in-person activity in Fall 2021. We are also excited to see universities begin to turn their focus to the future, as evidenced by our on-campus public-private partnership announcements, with a new project award at Drexel University and commencement of construction on a new development at Concordia University in Austin.”
First Quarter Operating Results
Revenue for the 2021 first quarter totaled $232.7 million, versus $249.4 million in the first quarter 2020, and operating income for the quarter totaled $46.4 million compared to $115.5 million in the prior year first quarter, which included a $48.5 million gain from the disposition of one owned property. Excluding this gain, the decrease in revenue and operating income was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on the company’s owned properties’ occupancy for Academic Year 2020-2021. Net income for the 2021 first quarter totaled $15.6 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $80.9 million, or $0.58 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2020.
FFO for the 2021 first quarter totaled $81.2 million, or $0.58 per fully diluted share, as compared to $95.9 million, or $0.69 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2020. FFOM for the 2021 first quarter was $79.5 million, or $0.57 per fully diluted share as compared to $97.6 million, or $0.70 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2020. A reconciliation of FFO and FFOM to net income is provided in Table 3.
NOI for same store properties was $123.6 million in the quarter, a decrease of 11.0 percent from $138.9 million in the 2020 first quarter. Same store property revenues decreased by 6.4 percent and same store property operating expenses increased by 0.5 percent. NOI for the total owned portfolio decreased 11.3 percent to $124.5 million for the quarter from $140.3 million in the comparable period of 2020. A reconciliation of same store NOI to total NOI is provided in Table 4.
Academic Year 2021-2022 Preleasing Update
“As anticipated and consistent with our comments last quarter, we’ve begun to see an acceleration in weekly preleasing velocity compared to the prior year, as we are now approximately one month into the period when leasing activity dramatically slowed at the beginning of the pandemic last year,” said Jennifer Beese, American Campus Communities COO. “While there remains a significant amount of work to do before the next academic year begins, through March our preleasing velocity is tracking in-line with the broader industry, as represented by the “AxioMetrics 175” markets. More importantly, in the majority of our markets, our velocity continues to outpace market averages. Additionally, asking rental rates for our portfolio as a whole remain in-line or slightly above prior year and operators in most markets continue to be patient in terms of their pricing policies. We remain cautiously optimistic that we will experience increased occupancy levels this Fall but do not expect to fully return to historical occupancy levels for Academic Year 2021-2022.”
Portfolio Update
Developments
In January, the company completed the $54.4 million third phase of the Disney College Program development within budget. Due to COVID-19 related restrictions, Walt Disney World® Resort continues to take a measured and phased approach to reopening and is reviewing the timing for resuming the Disney College Program and the related occupancy of the project. As previously announced, Walt Disney World® has assisted ACC in marketing and leasing of the project to a broader rental market until the internship program resumes. To-date, the company has signed 148 leases. The company continues construction on the remaining phases of the project, which are expected to be completed as originally anticipated through 2023.
On-Campus Developments
During the quarter, the company was awarded and began pre-development activities for a third-party on-campus development project at Drexel University. The renovation of Kelly Hall, a 1960s-era community-bath residence hall represents the company’s fifth P3 project with Drexel University. The company expects to earn $1.8 million in fees throughout the development period, although the full scope, feasibility, fees and timing have not been finalized.
During the quarter, the company also commenced construction on a third-party on-campus development project with Concordia University. The company recognized $0.8 million in third-party development fee revenue during the first quarter and expects to earn a total of $1.3 million in development fees throughout the full development period.
Capital Markets
As of March 31, 2021, the company exhibited a healthy balance sheet with ample liquidity including approximately $41.1 million in cash and $537.5 million available on its unsecured revolving credit facility. The company has approximately $70 million in planned development expenditures and only $64.7 million of debt maturities remaining during 2021.
At-The-Market (ATM) Share Offering Program
The company did not sell any shares under the ATM during the quarter.
COVID-19 Update
The company continues to collaborate in good faith with its university partners and during the quarter refunded $1.3 million of students’ rent for a portion of existing on-campus leases at one university. As more students are electing to return to campus, the company anticipates refunds to decline to $0.9 and $0.6 million in the second and third quarters. At this time, the company does not expect the need for on-campus refunds to continue into the upcoming academic year 2021-2022.
The company collected an average of 97.3 percent of rent during the first quarter, representing total delinquency of approximately $5.5 million, which includes approximately $0.8 million in rent relief under the company’s Resident Hardship Program.
2021 Outlook
Due to remaining uncertainty regarding the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, the company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the full magnitude of the pandemic and its effect on its results of operations for the remainder of the year ended December 31, 2021; therefore, the company is only providing a financial outlook for the second quarter of 2021. The company believes that the financial results for the three months ending June 30, 2021 may be affected by, among other factors:
•national and regional economic trends and events;
•the level of lease terminations, rent refunds, and/or abatements granted to student and commercial tenants;
•economic hardship experienced by student and commercial tenants and its ultimate effect on rent collections and thus the provision for uncollectible accounts;
•canceled or delayed third-party development projects;
•reduced revenues at our third-party managed properties resulting in reduced third-party management fee income;
•the impact of any stimulus payments that may be received by the company, our tenants, and/or our University partners under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and any future similar governmental actions;
•any increase in, or reduction to, operating expenses as a result of COVID-19;
•the amount of summer camps and conference revenue earned, if any;
•the amount of leasing and related fees earned for the 2021-2022 academic year, which are affected by the timing and velocity of the company’s leasing process;
•the timing and amount of any acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture activity;
•interest rate risk;
•the timing of commencement and completion of construction for owned development projects;
•university enrollment, funding and policy trends;
•the amount of income recognized by the taxable REIT subsidiaries and any corresponding income tax expense;
•the outcome of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business; and
•the finalization of property tax rates and assessed values in certain jurisdictions.
Based upon these factors, management anticipates that second quarter 2021 FFO will be in the range of $0.33 to $0.37 per fully diluted share and FFOM will be in the range of $0.35 to $0.38 per fully diluted share, as compared to second quarter 2020 FFO and FFOM per fully diluted share of $0.36 and $0.37, respectively.
For additional details regarding the company’s outlook, please see pages S-14 and S-15 of the Supplemental Analyst Package 1Q 2021. All guidance is based on the current expectations and judgment of the company’s management team. A reconciliation of the range provided for projected net income to projected FFO and FFOM is included in Table 5.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") currently defines Funds from Operations ("FFO") as net income or loss attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, impairment charges and real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. We also believe it is meaningful to present a measure we refer to as FFO-Modified, or (“FFOM”), which reflects certain adjustments related to the economic performance of our on-campus participating properties and excludes other items, as we determine in good faith, that do not reflect our core operations on a comparative basis. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
The company defines property net operating income (“NOI”) as property revenues less direct property operating expenses, excluding depreciation, but including allocated corporate general and administrative expenses.

1.The company believes that the financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are directly related to the ongoing financial impacts associated with COVID-19. Such factors include:
•national and regional economic trends and events;
•the level of lease terminations, rent refunds, and/or abatements granted to student and commercial tenants;
•economic hardship experienced by student and commercial tenants and its ultimate effect on rent collections and thus the provision for uncollectible accounts;
•canceled or delayed third-party development projects;
•reduced revenues at our third-party managed properties resulting in reduced third-party management fee income;
•the impact of any stimulus payments that may be received by the company, our tenants, and/or our University partners under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and any future similar governmental actions;
•any increase in, or reduction to, operating expenses as a result of COVID-19;
•the amount of summer camps and conference revenue earned, if any;
•the amount of leasing and related fees earned for the 2021-2022 academic year, which are affected by the timing and velocity of the company’s leasing process;
•the timing and amount of any acquisitions, dispositions or joint venture activity;
•interest rate risk;
•the timing of commencement and completion of construction on owned development projects;
•university enrollment, funding and policy trends;
•the amount of income recognized by the taxable REIT subsidiaries and any corresponding income tax expense;
•the outcome of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business; and
•the finalization of property tax rates and assessed values in certain jurisdictions.
