American Campus Communities, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results


American Campus Communities, Inc. (NYSE:ACC) today announced the following financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Highlights

"We are currently experiencing the most substantial fundamental tailwinds we've seen in many years, including strong enrollment demand at tier-one universities, low levels of new supply, and significant activity in on-campus public-private partnerships, highlighted by two new development awards and a new project start," said Bill Bayless, American Campus Communities CEO. "Having successfully navigated the disruption caused by the pandemic, the sector achieved an excellent completion to this year's lease-up, returning to pre-pandemic national occupancy levels and producing attractive rent growth. We have commenced leasing activity for the 2022-2023 academic year and are excited about the prospects to drive further improvements in opening occupancy for Fall 2022. We are highly optimistic that the fundamentals of the student housing operating environment provide investors with a unique opportunity for recession resilient, robust internal growth and meaningful earnings growth and net asset value creation in the years ahead."

Third Quarter Operating Results

Revenue for the 2021 third quarter totaled $228.9 million, versus $202.7 million in the third quarter 2020, and operating income totaled $17.3 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior year third quarter. The increase in revenue and operating income was primarily due to growth resulting from an increase in average occupancy and rental rates for the 2021-2022 academic year, as well as improvement in collection rates, fee generation and revenues from summer camps and conferences, as compared to the COVID-19 financial impact on the prior year period. Net loss for the 2021 third quarter totaled $11.4 million, or $0.09 per fully diluted share, compared with net loss of $19.5 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2020.

FFO for the 2021 third quarter totaled $55.4 million, or $0.39 per fully diluted share, as compared to $45.0 million, or $0.32 per fully diluted share for the same quarter in 2020. FFOM for the 2021 third quarter was $56.9 million, or $0.40 per fully diluted share, as compared to $45.2 million, or $0.32 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 $95.8 million in the quarter, an increase of 10.5 percent from $86.7 million in the 2020 third quarter. Same store property revenues increased by 8.5 percent, and same store property operating expenses increased by 6.8 percent versus the prior year quarter. The increase in same store property operating results was primarily due to the significantly improved operating environment, as compared to the prior year quarter, which was impacted by COVID-19, as discussed above. NOI for the total owned portfolio increased 19.1 percent to $102.2 million for the quarter from $85.8 million in the comparable period of 2020. A reconciliation of same store NOI to total NOI is provided in Table 4.

Portfolio Update

Developments

During the quarter, the company delivered phase five of the ten-phase Flamingo Crossings Village, located near Walt Disney World® Resort. Cumulatively, the company has delivered 5,284 beds, representing $319.3 million of development on schedule and within budget. In the five months since commencing leasing activities in May, approximately 4,500 residents have occupied Flamingo Crossings Village, achieving occupancy of 85 percent, in-line with the company's previously provided expectation for this Fall.

The company continues construction on the remaining five phases of Flamingo Crossings Village, which are expected to be completed through 2023. Barring unforeseen future impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company continues to expect the project to meet its original 2022 targeted yield, with full stabilization at the 6.8 percent targeted yield in May 2023, as initially anticipated prior to the pandemic.

On-Campus Development Awards

The company has been awarded two new third-party development projects through its public-private partnership platform. Pre-development activities are underway for graduate housing developments on the campus of Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin. The full scope, feasibility, fees and timing have not yet been finalized for the proposed projects.

Subsequent to quarter end, the company executed development agreements for a previously announced third-party on-campus development project at Princeton University, which is expected to commence construction during the fourth quarter. The project is scheduled for delivery in Fall 2023 with total estimated fees of $6.0 million to be earned throughout the construction period.

Capital Markets

Subsequent to quarter end, the company issued $400.0 million of 7-year unsecured notes at a coupon rate of 2.25 percent and a yield of 2.261 percent. The company used the proceeds to repay borrowings on its revolving credit facility.

At-The-Market (ATM) Share Offering Program

The company did not sell any shares under the ATM since previously reported on its second quarter earnings call.

2021 Outlook

The company is maintaining its recently increased guidance range for the year ending December 31, 2021, anticipating that FFO will be in the range of $2.06 to $2.14, and FFOM will be in the range of $2.04 to $2.12 per fully diluted share, respectively. For additional details regarding the company's 2021 outlook, see pages S-15 through S-16 of the Supplemental Analyst Package 3Q 2021. All guidance is based on the current expectations and judgment of the company's management team.

"With the very successful completion to the lease-up, we are pleased to be in position to produce 3 to 7 percent FFOM per share growth in 2021 and to have net operating income returning to pre-pandemic levels this quarter," said Daniel Perry, American Campus Communities CFO. "As stated in our recent interim update press release, we are confident in our ability to fund our business and capital plan through strategic capital recycling and increased free cash flow generation, while producing attractive earnings growth for shareholders. In the near term, we believe the current environment affords us to the opportunity to further strengthen our balance sheet in 2022 by accelerating $200 to $400 million of disposition activity targeted in our long-term funding plan, while still producing FFOM per share growth in the 12 to 15 percent range in 2022. We are also excited about the prospects for continued strong same store growth beyond 2022, based on positive fundamentals in the student housing operating environment and the accretive contribution from our ongoing development deliveries, which should position us to produce long-term earnings growth and superior returns for investors. We look forward to providing formal 2022 guidance on our year-end earnings call early next year."

A reconciliation of the range provided for projected net income to projected FFO and FFOM for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 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.
