Aimco's Q2 FFO Surpasses, Revenues Miss Estimates
Aimco reported second-quarter 2020 pro-forma FFO of 63 cents per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 61 cents. Also, the figure improved 5% from the year-ago quarter’s 60 cents.
Quarterly results reflected higher residential rent and substantial rent collections. However, declining occupancy and same-store revenues remain headwinds.

Quarter in Detail
Same-store revenues (before utility reimbursements) slid 1.1% year over year to $180.8 million, while expenses (net of utility reimbursements) edged down 0.4% to $48.7 million. Consequently, same-store NOI declined 1.4% year over year to $132.1 million.

Aimco also leased 59 redeveloped or newly-developed apartment homes.
In addition, it is revamping its portfolio through property sales, and reinvesting the proceeds in select apartment homes with higher rents, superior margins and higher-than-anticipated growth.
Through the moves, Aimco increased its average revenues per apartment home by 2% year over year to $2,254. However, NOI margin declined to 71% from the year-ago quarter’s 72%. The company’s percentage of A, B and C+ home was 53%, 29% and 18%, respectively, in second-quarter 2020.
