EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 of American Campus Communities, Inc. and American Campus Communities Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “ACC” mean American Campus Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code, and references to “ACCOP” mean American Campus Communities Operating Partnership LP, a Maryland limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. The following chart illustrates the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s corporate structure:

a12companyflowchart93019a15.jpg

The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, ACC owned an approximate 99.6% limited partnership interest in ACCOP. As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and ACC contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, ACC receives a number of units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units,” see definition below) equal to the number of common shares it has issued in the equity offering. Contributions of properties to the Company can be structured as tax-deferred transactions through the issuance of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. Based on the terms of ACCOP’s partnership agreement, OP Units can be exchanged for ACC’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company maintains a one-for-one relationship between the OP Units of the Operating Partnership issued to ACC and ACC Holdings and the common shares issued to the public. The Company believes that combining the reports on Form 10-Q of ACC and ACCOP into this single report provides the following benefits:

(1)enhances investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
(2)eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
(3)creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC essentially has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in ACCOP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. However, the Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the entities operate as a consolidated company. All of the Company’s property

ownership, development and related business operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. ACC also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of ACCOP, as disclosed in this report. ACC does not have any indebtedness, as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from ACC’s equity offerings, which are contributed to the capital of ACCOP in exchange for OP Units on a one-for-one common share per OP Unit basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include, but are not limited to, the Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facility, the issuance of unsecured notes, and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties. Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity, and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements consist of the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated joint ventures. The noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level and OP Unit holders of the Operating Partnership. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. A single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership when applicable (for example, noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, earnings per share or unit, etc.). A combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents discrete information related to each entity, as applicable. This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the Company operates its business through the Operating Partnership. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)



1. Organization and Description of Business
 
American Campus Communities, Inc. (“ACC”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that commenced operations effective with the completion of an initial public offering (“IPO”) on August 17, 2004.  Through ACC’s controlling interest in American Campus Communities Operating Partnership LP (“ACCOP”), ACC is one of the largest owners, managers and developers of high quality student housing properties in the United States in terms of beds owned and under management.  ACC is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered equity REIT with expertise in the acquisition, design, financing, development, construction management, leasing and management of student housing properties.  ACC’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “ACC.”
 
The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, ACC owned an approximate 99.6% limited partnership interest in ACCOP.  As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management.  Management operates ACC and ACCOP as one business.  The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP.  ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC does not have significant assets other than its investment in ACCOP.  Therefore, the assets and liabilities of ACC and ACCOP are the same on their respective financial statements.  References to the “Company” means collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP.  References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP.  Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.
 
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s property portfolio contained 168166 properties with approximately 113,400111,900 beds.  The Company’s property portfolio consisted of 128126 owned off-campus student housing properties that are in close proximity to colleges and universities, 34 American Campus Equity (“ACE®”) properties operated under ground/facility leases, and 6 on-campus participating properties operated under ground/facility leases with the related university systems.  Of the 168166 properties, 3 were under development as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, and when completed will consist of a total of approximately 11,30010,500 beds.  The Company’s communities contain modern housing units and are supported by a resident assistant system and other student-oriented programming, with many offering resort-style amenities.
 
Through one of ACC’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), the Company also provides construction management and development services, primarily for student housing properties owned by colleges and universities, charitable foundations, and others.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, also through one of ACC’s TRSs, the Company provided third-party management and leasing services for 3735 properties that represented approximately 26,90026,100 beds.  Third-party management and leasing services are typically provided pursuant to management contracts that have initial terms that range from one year to five years.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company’s total owned and third-party managed portfolio included 205201 properties with approximately 140,300138,000 beds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and use of Estimates
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in U.S. dollars, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in the tables herein, except share, per share, unit and per unit amounts, are stated in thousands unless otherwise indicated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include its accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries and joint ventures (including partnerships and limited liability companies) over which it has control. Investments acquired or created are evaluated based on the accounting guidance relating to variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary. If the investment is determined not to be a VIE, then the investment is evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest model.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules that amend the financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Under the amended rules, parent companies can provide alternative disclosures in lieu of separate audited financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors that meet certain circumstances. The rule is effective on January 4, 2021, but earlier compliance is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the rule and its potential effect on the consolidated financial statements of both ACC and ACCOP.

In addition, the Company does not expect the following accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements:
Accounting Standards Update Effective Date
   
ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"January 1, 2021


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The standard requires entities to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss for most financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other financial instruments, and to present the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” which amends the transition requirements and scope of ASU 2016-13 and clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.

The Company notes that a majority of its financial instruments result from operating leasing transactions, which as mentioned above, are not within the scope of the new standard. However, the Company did perform both a quantitative and qualitative analysis on the financial assets that are covered under this guidance, including its loans receivable. Based on this analysis, which included analyzing historical performance, occupancy rates, projected future performance, and macroeconomic trends, the Company concluded this new standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, on January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract”January 1, 2020ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”January 1, 2020ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”January 1, 2020


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-12”), “Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.” ASU 2016-02 outlines principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.  Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued additional ASUs clarifying aspects of the new lease accounting standard, which were effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. These lease-related ASUs are collectively referred to as the “New Leases Standard.”

The Company adopted the New Leases Standard on January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, the Company elected to apply the new standard to leases that were in place as of January 1, 2019.Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 are presented under the New Leases Standard.  Upon adoption, the Company did not record an adjustment to beginning retained earnings.

In addition, the Company adopted the following additional practical expedients available for implementation:

•An entity need not reassess whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases;
•An entity need not reassess lease classification for any existing or expired leases; and
•An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

As Lessee:

Under the New Leases Standard, lessees classify leases as either operating or finance leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (operating lease) or under the effective interest method (finance lease). In addition, the New Leases Standard requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of their lease classification.
•
Upon adoption of the New Leases Standard on January 1, 2019, the Company was a lessee under 28 ground leases and 2 corporate office headquarters leases for which it recorded $278.2 million inright of use assets (“ROU Assets”), and $277.5 million of operating lease liabilities. 
Because the Company’s existing leases under which it is a lessee will continue to be classified as operating leases, the timing and pattern of lease expense recognition (straight-line basis) will remain unchanged. However, for any leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2019, the leases will need to be evaluated under the New Leases Standard and may be classified as finance leases depending on the terms of the transactions.

As Lessor:

Under the New Leases Standard, the accounting for lessors remained largely unchanged from current GAAP; however, ASU 2016-02 required that lessors expense, on an as-incurred basis, certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease. Under the prior standard, these costs were capitalizable and therefore the New Leases Standard resulted in certain of these costs being expensed as incurred after adoption. For the Company, these costs include internal leasing payroll costs incurred for owned and presale development projects, as well as certain legal expenses incurred when negotiating commercial leases. 
•
The New Leases Standard also requires lessors2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to evaluate collectability of all operating lease payments in a contract at lease commencement and thereafter. If the operating lease payments are deemed not probable of collection, adjustments are recognized as a reduction to lease income. This resulted in the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts from operating expenses to revenue.  This adjustment is reflected on a prospective basis in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income, starting on January 1, 2019. The provision for uncollectible accounts for owned properties was $3.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and was $6.1 million and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The provision for uncollectible accounts for on-campus participating properties for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.1 million, nominal for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and a $0.6 million benefit and a $0.2 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The New Leases Standard provides a practical expedient that allows lessors to not separate certain lease and non-lease components if certain criteria are met. The Company assessed the criteria and determined that the timing and pattern of transfer for common area maintenance and the related rental revenue is the same. Therefore, the Company elected the practical expedient which resulted in no change to how revenue is currently recorded.

Other
In addition, on January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”
ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”

The SEC issued the Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule in 2018 to remove inconsistencies and duplicative disclosures between US GAAP and SEC regulations. This rule was effective November 5, 2018 and eliminated Rule 3-15(a)(1) of Regulation S-X, which required REITs to present separately all gains and losses on sales of properties outside of continuing operations on the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The adoption of this rule resulted in the presentation of gains and losses from disposition of real estate within operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Prior year amounts have reclassified to conform to current presentation.Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”

In July 2019,April 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, “Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates”a Staff Question & Answer (“Q&A”) which was effective upon issuance. This release is associated withintended to reduce the SEC’s issuancechallenges of evaluating the enforceable rights and obligations of leases for concessions granted to lessees in response to the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic. Prior to this guidance, the Company was required to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession should be accounted for as a lease modification, potentially resulting in any lease concessions granted being recorded as a reduction to revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the Disclosure Updateleases. The Q&A allows both lessors and Simplification Rule referenced abovelessees to bypass this analysis and didelect not haveto evaluate whether concessions provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications. This relief is subject to certain conditions being met, including ensuring the total remaining lease payments are substantially the same or less as compared to the original lease payments prior to the concession being granted. The Company, as lessor, has elected to apply such relief and will therefore not evaluate if lease concessions that were granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic meet the definition of a material effect onlease modification.  Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Company accounted for qualifying rent concessions as negative variable lease payments, which reduced revenue from such leases in the period the concessions were granted. The Company, as a lessee, has not received any concessions under its ground or other lease agreements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at historical cost.  Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset.  The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.  Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements7-40 years
Leasehold interest - on-campus participating properties25-34 years (shorter of useful life or respective lease term)
Furniture, fixtures and equipment3-7 years

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of an owned real estate project, which include interest, property taxes, and amortization of deferred financing costs, are capitalized as construction in progress.  Upon completion of the project, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation commences.  Interest totaling approximately $3.0 million and $2.6 million was capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and interest totaling approximately $9.4 million and $9.6 million was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Management assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of the Company’s investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, or when a property meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, at which time an impairment charge is recognized for any excess of the carrying value of the property over the expected net proceeds from the disposal.  The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions.  If such conditions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the conditions change.  To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. In the case of any impairment, the valuation would be based on Level 3 inputs. There were 0 impairments of the carrying values of the Company's investments in real estate as of September 30, 2019, other than a $3.2 million impairment charge recorded on March 31, 2019 concurrent with the classification of 1 owned property as held for sale.

Long-Lived Assets–Held for Sale
Long-lived assets to be disposed of are classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

a.Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset.

b.The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets.

c.An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated.

d.The sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year.

e.The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

f.Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Concurrent with this classification, the asset is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs, and depreciation ceases. The Company did not have any properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019.

Restricted Cash
 
Restricted cash consists of funds held in trust and invested in low risk investments, generally consisting of government backed securities, as permitted by the indentures of trusts, which were established in connection with three bond issues for the Company’s on-campus participating properties.  Additionally, restricted cash includes escrow accounts held by lenders and resident security deposits, as required by law in certain states.  Restricted cash also consists of escrow deposits made in connection with potential property acquisitions and development opportunities.  These escrow deposits are invested in interest-bearing accounts at federally-insured banks.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses are not material for the periods presented.

Leasing Revenue
The Company’s primary business involves leasing properties to students under agreements that are classified as operating leases, and which have terms of 12 months or less. These student leases do not provide for variable rent payments. The Company is also a lessor under commercial leases at certain owned properties, some of which provide for variable lease payments based upon tenant performance such as a percentage of sales. The Company recognizes the base lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable payments are recognized in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable payments are based occur. Lease income under both student and commercial leases is included in owned property revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Lease income under student leases totaled $176.9 million and $194.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $408.3 million and $416.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, through its Resident Hardship Program, the Company provided $8.6 million in rent abatements to its tenants experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 and an additional $15.1 million in rent abatements through its University Partnerships. As discussed above, these abatements were recorded as a reduction to Owned Properties Revenue. Also during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an additional $1.5 million in rent abatements were granted to tenants at the Company’s on-campus participating properties, which are reflected as a reduction to On-campus Participating Properties Revenue. The Company also waived all late fees and online payment fees and suspended financial related evictions. Lease income under commercial leases totaled $2.9 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $6.1 million and $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of the Company’s investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has continued to assess whether the global economic disruption caused by the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, was an impairment indicator. The Company examined a number of factors including the overall market and economic environment, economic and operating conditions of the Company’s properties, as well as the demand, creditworthiness, and performance from the properties’ tenants, and concluded that there were no impairments of the carrying values of the Company’s investments in real estate as of June 30, 2020.

Presale Development Projects:

In August 2019, The Flex - Stadium Centre, a 340-bed off-campus development property subject to a presale agreement executed in 2018, was completed and acquired by the Company for $36.4 million, including $8.5 million related to the purchase of the land on which the property is built. As the property was consolidated by the Company from the time of execution of the presale agreement with the developer, the closing of the transaction was accounted for as an increase in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary.

In August 2018, The Edge - Stadium Centre, a 412-bed off-campus development property subject to a presale agreement, was completed and acquired by the Company for $42.6 million, including $10.0 million related to the purchase of the land on which the property is built. As the property was consolidated by the Company from the time of execution of the presale agreement with the developer, the closing of the transaction was accounted for as an increase in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary.

Land Acquisition:

In August 2018, the Company purchased a land parcel for a total purchase price of approximately $16.6 million. Total cash consideration was approximately $16.5 million.

4. Property Dispositions

Property Dispositions:Dispositions

In March 2020, the Company sold The Varsity, an owned property located near University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, containing 901 beds for $148.0 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $146.1 million. The net gain on this disposition totaled approximately $48.5 million.

In May 2019, the Company sold College Club Townhomes, an owned property located near Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida, containing 544 beds for $9.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8.9 million. The net loss on this disposition totaled approximately $0.3 million. Concurrent with the classification of this property as held for sale in March 2019, the Company reduced the property’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value less estimated selling costs and recorded an impairment charge of $3.2 million.

In May 2018, the Company sold a portfolio of 3 owned properties containing 1,338 beds for approximately $245.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $242.3 million. The combined net gain on the portfolio disposition totaled approximately $42.3 million.

Joint Venture Activity:

In May 2018, the Company executed an agreement to enter into a joint venture arrangement with Allianz Real Estate (the “ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction”). The transaction included the sale of a partial ownership interest in a portfolio of 7 owned properties, containing 4,611 beds, through a joint venture arrangement. The joint venture transaction involved the joint venture partner making a cash contribution of approximately $373.1 million in exchange for a 45% ownership interest. As part of the transaction, the joint venture issued $330 million of secured mortgage debt.

Additionally, the Company is party to 1 presale agreement to purchase a development property that was completed in Fall 2019. The portion of net assets attributable to the third-party partners in these arrangements is classified as “noncontrolling interests - partially owned properties” within equity and capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ACC and the Operating Partnership, respectively.

The options will be exercisable in the third and fourth quarter of 2019, and the redemption price is based on the fair value of the properties at the time of option exercise. As the exercise of the options iswas outside of the Company’s control, the portion of net assets attributable to the third-party partner in each of the Core Joint Ventures iswas classified as “redeemable noncontrolling interests” and “redeemable limited partners” in the mezzanine section of the accompanyingDecember 31, 2019 consolidated balance sheets of ACC and the Operating Partnership, respectively.  The redemption price was based on the fair value of the properties at the time of option exercise.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest increased by $11.8 million due to a change in the fair value of the net assets held by the joint ventures that are part of the Core Transaction primarily as a result of the completion of the leasing process for the 2019-2020 academic year. The corresponding offset for the adjustment to the redemption value is recorded in additional paid in capital. The Company’s fair value analysis is based on Level 3 inputs and incorporates information obtained from a number of sources, including the Company’s analysis of comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio, estimations of net operating results of the properties, capitalization rates, discount rates, and other market data. As the change in redemption value iswas based on fair value, there iswas no effect on the Company’s earnings per share.

10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities.  The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
 
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  Forward starting swaps are used to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on a forecasted issuance of debt. These agreements contain provisions such that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, regardless of whether the repayment of the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender or not, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company was not in default on any of its indebtedness or derivative instruments.
 
As disclosed in Note 2, the adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction.

In December 2018, the Company entered into 3 forward starting interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling��$200 million designated to hedge the Company's exposure to increasing interest rates related to interest payments on an anticipated issuance of unsecured notes. In connection with the issuance of unsecured notes in June 2019, as discussed in Note 6, the Company terminated the swap contracts resulting in payments to counterparties totaling approximately $13.2 million, which were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the swap contracts based on the June 2019 issuance and expected additional issuances.

12. Leases

Refer to Note 2 for information on the impact of the adoption of the New Leases Standard.

As Lessee

The Company, as lessee, has entered into 49 ground/facility and office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under the New Leases Standard. These leases include leases entered into under the ACE program with university systems and Walt Disney World® Resort, leases with local and regional land owners for owned off-campus properties, leases for corporate office space, and leases under the on-campus participating properties (“OCPPs”) structure. Leases entered into under the ACE program are transferable and financeable. Under ground/facility leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent, variable rent based upon the operating performance of the property, or a combination thereof.  The leases have initial terms (excluding extension options) ranging from eleven years to 102 years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company records base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease, and variable rent expense is recorded when the achievement of the target is considered probable. Straight-line rent is capitalized during the construction period and expensed upon the commencement of operations. In the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income, rent expense for ACE properties and OCPPs is included in ground/facility lease expense, and rent expense for owned off-campus properties is included in owned properties operating expenses. Total straight-line rent expense, variable rent expense, and capitalized rent costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $2.5 million, $2.5 million, and $3.2 million, respectively, and $7.4 million, $6.4 million, and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

For purposes of calculating the ROU Asset and lease liability for such leases, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. As most of the Company’s leases do not contain an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine
AMERICAN CAMPUS COMMUNITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
AMERICAN CAMPUS COMMUNITIES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


the present value of the lease payments. This involves determining a secured interest rate for each lease based on the term of the respective lease. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 5.35% as of September 30, 2019. The weighted average remaining lease term of leases with a lease liability as of September 30, 2019 is 62.6 years (excluding extension options).

There were no finance lease obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2019. Future minimum commitments over the life of all operating leases, which exclude variable rent payments, are as follows:

As Lessor

The Company’s primary business involves leasing properties to students under agreements that are classified as operating leases, and which have terms of 12 months or less. These student leases do not provide for variable rent payments. The Company is also a lessor under commercial leases at certain owned properties, some of which provide for variable lease payments based upon tenant performance such as a percentage of sales. The Company recognizes the base lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable payments are recognized in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable payments are based occur. Lease income under both student and commercial leases is included in owned property revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Lease income under student leases totaled $199.8 million and $189.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $615.8 million and $570.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Lease income under commercial leases totaled $3.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively; and $10.0 million and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
13.12. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments

Construction Contracts: As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company estimates additional costs to complete 3 owned development projects under construction to be approximately $522.0$278.9 million.

Joint Ventures: As part of the Core Transaction, the Company entered into 2 joint ventures during the third quarter of 2017. As part of this transaction, the Company is obligated to increase its investment in the joint ventures over a two year period which was extended through January 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining funding commitment was approximately $130.2 million.

Presale Development Projects: The Company was party to one presale development agreement as of September 30, 2019. The Company is obligated to purchase the property for $72.4 million, which includes the contractual purchase price and the cost of elected upgrades, as long as the developer meets certain construction completion deadlines and other closing conditions. The Company expects to fund the remaining $48.7 million of the purchase price in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Contingencies

Development-related Guarantees:  For certain of its third-party development projects, the Company commonly provides alternate housing and project cost guarantees, subject to force majeure. These guarantees are typically limited, on an aggregate basis, to the amount of the projects’ related development fees or a contractually agreed-upon maximum exposure amount.  Alternate housing guarantees generally require the Company to provide substitute living quarters and transportation for students to and from the
AMERICAN CAMPUS COMMUNITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
AMERICAN CAMPUS COMMUNITIES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


university if the project is not complete by an agreed-upon completion date. These guarantees typically expire at the later of five days after completion of the project or once the Company has moved all students from the substitute living quarters into the project.

Under project cost guarantees, the Company is responsible for the construction cost of a project in excess of an approved budget. The budget consists primarily of costs included in the general contractors’ guaranteed maximum price contract (“GMP”). In most cases, the GMP obligates the general contractor, subject to force majeure and approved change orders, to provide completion date guarantees and to cover cost overruns and liquidated damages. In addition, the GMP is in certain cases secured with payment and performance bonds. Project cost guarantees expire upon completion of certain developer obligations, which are normally satisfied within one year after completion of the project. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure amount under the above guarantees is approximately $10.6$8.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.  2020. 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, management diddoes not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to third-party development projects currently in progress.

For one Although the company currently anticipates completing these projects on time and within budget, the project locations were subject to and could be subject to restrictions on physical movement imposed by governmental entities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Some of its third-party development projects that is currently under construction,these orders may adversely affect the Company’s obligation to pay alternate housing coststimely completion and excessfinal project costs of some or all of our projects under development if, for example, we are unlimitedrequired to temporarily cease construction entirely, experience delays in amount.  However, ifobtaining governmental permits and authorizations, or experience disruption in the Company’s payment obligation arises from force majeuresupply of materials or is caused by the owner, the owner agrees to reimburselabor; however, the Company from future cash flow of the project, with such reimbursement being subordinate to any financing on the property but paid prior to the University receiving any cash flow from the property.  If the Company’s obligation is a result of the general contractor and/or design professionals’ negligence, the owner agrees to assign its right to recover from such party to the Company. Additionally, for this project, the Company’s exposure to such costs resulting from owner-caused delays, as defined, is limited to $1.0 million.  As of September 30, 2019, management did not anticipate any materialanticipates that deviations from schedule or budget related to this project.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various development-related purchase commitments with parties that provide development-related goods and services.  In the event that the Company was to terminate development services priordue to the completioneffects of projects under construction, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding purchase orders with such parties.    COVID-19 pandemic will qualify as force majeure events.

As a part of the development agreement with Walt Disney World® Resort, the Company has guaranteed the completion of construction of a $614.6 million project to be delivered in phases from 2020 to 2023. In May 2020, the Company substantially completed construction on Phase I of the project within the targeted delivery timeline. In addition, the Company is subject to a development guarantee in the event that the substantial completion of a project phase is delayed beyond its respective targeted delivery date, except in circumstances resulting in unavoidable delays. The agreement dictates that the Company shall pay damages of $20 per bed for each day of delay for any Disney College Internship Program participant who was either scheduled to live in the delayed phase as well as any participant who was not able to participate in the program due to the lack of available housing and would have otherwise been housed in the delayed phase. Under the agreement, the maximum exposure related to the Disney project assuming all remaining beds are not delivered on their respective delivery date is approximately $0.2 million per day.

Conveyance to University: In August 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to convey fee interest in a parcel of land, on which one of the Company’s student housing properties resides (University Crossings), to Drexel University (the “University”). Concurrent with the land conveyance, the Company as lessee entered into a ground lease agreement with the University as lessor for an initial term of 40 years, with 3 10-year extensions, at the Company’s option. The Company also agreed to convey the building and improvements to the University at an undetermined date in the future and to pay real estate transfer taxes not to exceed $2.4 million. The Company paid approximately $0.6 million in real estate transfer taxes upon the conveyance of land to the University, leaving approximately $1.8 million to be paid by the Company upon the transfer of the building and improvements.

Other Guarantees: In June 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to buy a land parcel initially scheduled to close on or before June 30, 2021, with potential extensions at the Company’s option to June 1, 2022 or June 1, 2023.  In connection with the execution of the agreement, the Company made an earnest money deposit of $2.1 million which is included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As a part of the agreement, within 60 days of certain conditions not being met, the seller of the property can either terminate the agreement or exercise an option to require the Company to purchase the

undeveloped land, with the Company retaining all rights to fully own, develop, and utilize the land. If the option is exercised, the Company must pay the agreed upon purchase price of $28.7 million and a commission calculated as a percentage of the sales price, and also reimburse the seller for demolition costs.

Pre-development expenditures: The Company incurs pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits, and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects.  The Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot be arranged or the Company is unable to obtain the required permits and authorizations for the project.  As such, management periodically evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction and expenses any deferred costs related to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is unlikely and/or the costs may not provide future value to the Company in the form of revenues. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company has deferred approximately $6.0$13.0 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.  Such costs are net of any contractual arrangements through which the Company could be reimbursed by another party. Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Guarantees: In June 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to buy a land parcel initially scheduled to close on or before June 30, 2021, with potential extensions at the Company’s option to June 1, 2022 or June 1, 2023.  In connection with the execution of the agreement, the Company made an earnest money deposit of $2.1 million which is included in restricted

cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As a part of the agreement, within 60 days of certain conditions not being met, the seller of the property can either terminate the agreement or exercise an option to require the Company to purchase the undeveloped land, with the Company retaining all rights to fully own, develop, and utilize the land. If the option is exercised, the Company must pay the agreed upon purchase price of $28.7 million and a commission calculated as a percentage of the sales price, and also reimburse the seller for demolition costs.

Litigation:  The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, as well as other matters that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.  However, the outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty.  Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, the ultimate results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty.

LettersLitigation Settlement: Although the Company denied any wrongdoing in this matter and believes it has valid defenses to the claims asserted, in March 2020, the Company entered into a memorandum of Intent:  Insettlement to resolve an alleged collective action pursuant to which the ordinary courseCompany agreed to pay an aggregate of $1.5 million to the plaintiffs, which memorandum is subject to court approval. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, when the settlement became probable and reasonably estimable, the Company recorded litigation expense of $0.4 million based on legal counsel’s estimate of the Company’s business,settlement amount which was not yet determined. During the first quarter 2020, the Company enters into lettersrecorded an additional $1.1 million in litigation expense to reflect the amount owed under the memorandum of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures.  Such letterssettlement, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of intent are non-binding (except with regard to exclusivity and confidentiality), and neither party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties.  Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the acquisition and disposition of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate that such contracts will provide the acquirer with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the acquirer will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any material deposit or earnest money.  There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or that the Company will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract.  Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed.  Once the due diligence period expires, the Company is then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any non-refundable earnest money deposits associated with the contract and subject to normal closing conditions being met.
Environmental Matters:  The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

The discussions below, including without limitation statements with respect to outlooks of future operating performance and liquidity, are subject to the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, which continue to evolve daily. As such, the full magnitude of the pandemic and its ultimate effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020, as well as for future years, is uncertain at this time.

Leasing Results

Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 20192020 are impacted by the results of our annual leasing process for the 2018/20192019/2020 and 2019/20202020/2021 academic years.  As of September 30, 2018, the beginning of the 2018/2019 academic year, occupancy at our 2019 same store properties was 97.0% with a rental rate increase of 2.0% compared to the prior academic year, and occupancy at our total owned property portfolio was also 97.0%.  As of September 30, 2019, the beginning of the 2019/2020 academic year, occupancy at our 2020 same store properties was 97.4% with a rental rate increase of 1.4% compared to the prior academic year, and occupancy at our total owned property portfolio (including 2019 development deliveries) was also 97.4%.

As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on the student housing industry. In response, the Company has adapted its marketing strategies to conduct various leasing activities for the upcoming 2020/2021 academic year through virtual channels. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the annual leasing results for the 2020/2021 academic year is unknown at this time, including any diminishment associated with students who elect to not take possession of their units, as well as relet requests.

Presale Development Projects:

Under the terms of a presale transaction, the Company is obligated to purchase the property as long as certain construction completion deadlines and other closing conditions are met. The Company is responsible for leasing, management, and initial operations of the project while the third-party developer retains development risk during the construction period. In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company includes presale properties in its consolidated financial statements upon execution of the presale agreement with the developer.

In the third quarter of 2019, the final stages of construction were completed on two presale development projects. In August 2019, the company purchased The Flex at Stadium Centre. The Company expects to acquire 959 Franklin and fund the remaining purchase price of $48.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. These properties are summarized in the following table. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for a more detailed discussion of our recent presale development activity.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we closed on bond financingThird-Party Development and commenced construction on our second project at the University of California, Riverside, which contributed approximately $3.6 million in revenues during the quarter. The project has an anticipated completion of September 2021 and total fees of $6.7 million. Management Services

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we were under contract on three third-party development projects that are currently under construction and whose fees total $14.2 million.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, fees of approximately $5.6$3.5 million remained to be earned by the Company with respect to these projects, which have scheduled completion dates in 2020 and 2021.

Although the completion of the third-party development projects currently under construction is anticipated to occur as originally scheduled, the timely completion of the projects is subject to events of force majeure, including the imposition of any COVID-19 related orders issued by state and/or local municipalities affecting construction sites. To the extent any of these events delay the construction of such projects, the timing of the recognition of third-party development revenue could be adversely impacted.

Results of Operations

COVID 19, which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, affected our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as more fully described below. However, for the reasons described previously, the Company is unable to predict the full magnitude of the pandemic and its effect on our results of operations for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2020, or for future years. The most significant factors affecting the Company’s future results of operations include: (1) the ultimate outcome of the Company’s leasing efforts for the 2020/2021 academic year; (2) the level of lease terminations and rent refunds and/or abatements granted to student and commercial tenants; (3) economic hardship experienced by student and commercial tenants and its ultimate effect on rent collections and thus the provision for uncollectible accounts; (4) any reduction to revenues from our third-party development and management services segments due to canceled or delayed third-party development projects or reduced revenues at our third-party managed properties; (5) 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; and (6) any increase in, or reduction to, operating expenses as a result of the pandemic.

The Company adopted new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019 which required the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts from operating expenses to revenue. For purposes of calculating same store and new property results of operations, the reclassification is reflected for all periods presented to ensure comparability between periods. The provision for uncollectible accounts for all owned properties was $3.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Same Store Properties:  The increasedecrease in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to the following impacts of COVID-19: (i) approximately $15.1 million in rent refunds and/or early lease terminations was provided to tenants at our on-campus ACE properties and certain off-campus residence halls; (ii) approximately $8.3 million in rent was forgiven as part of our Resident Hardship Program for residents and families who experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19; and (iii) approximately $7.2 million of the decrease as compared to the prior year was a result of lost summer camp and conference revenue, waived fees, an increase in average rental ratesthe provision for the 2018/2019uncollectible accounts and 2019/2020 academic years, as well as an increase in weighted average occupancy from 89.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 90.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2019/2020 academic year and our ability to achieve appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy levels for the 2020/2021 academic year at our various properties.other items.

The increasedecrease in operating expenses for our same store properties was primarily due to an increasethe following factors which resulted from COVID-19: (i) a decrease in marketinggeneral and administrative expenses relateddue to utilizing both traditional mediums and enhanced digital and social marketing channels in the final stages of the 2019/2020 academic year leasing process.  This increase was partially offset bysignificantly less travel as well as lower payments made to our university partners under Marketing & Licensing Agreements (ii) a decrease in utilities expense which was primarily due to asset management initiatives focused on energy-efficient LED installations as well as renegotiated cable, internet and utilities agreements.  We anticipate that total operating expenses forresulting from decreased occupancy at our same store property portfolio for 2019 will increase as compared to 2018properties, and (iii) a reduction in marketing expenses due to increasestransitioning our marketing and leasing activities to primarily virtual channels. These decreases were offset by an increase in property taxes payroll, marketing and general inflation.resulting from an increase in assessed values in certain markets.

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations
Same Store OCPP Properties: As of June 30, 2020, we had six on-campus participating properties containing 5,230 beds. Revenues from these properties decreased by $2.3 million, from $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due the universities’ decisions to provide rent abatements and/or early lease terminations to tenants due to COVID-19, in addition to an increase in the provision for uncollectible accounts. Operating expenses at these properties decreased by $0.6 million, from $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll, maintenance and utilities as a result of decreased occupancy at the properties due to COVID-19.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue increaseddecreased by approximately $4.8$2.3 million, from $0.8$3.6 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $5.6$1.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  The increasedecrease was primarily due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction of our second projectthe ninth phase at thePrairie View A&M University of California, Riverside during the three months ended September 30, 2019,prior year quarter, which contributed approximately $3.6$1.5 million in revenue for the quarter,three months ended June 30, 2019, in addition to an increasea decrease in the number of third-party development projects under construction during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 as compared to the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020 we had eightthree projects under construction with an average contractual fee of $4.1$4.7 million, as compared to fourseven projects under construction during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 with an average contractual fee of $4.2$3.7 million.

Development services revenues are dependent on our ability to successfully be awarded such projects, the amount of the contractual fee related to the project and the timing and completion of the development and construction of the project. In addition, to the extent projects are completed under budget, we may be entitled to a portion of such savings, which are recognized as revenue when performance has been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been verified by an independent third-party. We anticipate that third-party development services revenue will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to an increase in the volume and timing of third-party development projects anticipated to close and commence construction in 2019.

Third-Party Management Services Revenue

Third-party management services revenue increaseddecreased by approximately $1.2$0.8 million, from $2.1$3.5 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $3.3$2.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase isdecrease was primarily due to reimbursed payroll costsdecreased revenue at our managed properties resulting from the Disney College ProgramCOVID-19, upon which our management contract which began in April 2019. As the project'sfacilities manager, the Company is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the project. Because of the company’s role in funding payroll costs for on-site personnel at the properties, accounting guidance requires the management fee for this project to be recorded on a gross basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, both management services revenue and third-party management services expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 include approximately $1.1 million in reimbursed payroll costs. We anticipate third-party management services revenue will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the recognition of reimbursed payroll costs for the Disney College Program management contract, as discussed above, and new management contracts obtained in 2019.fees are based.


Third-Party DevelopmentGeneral and Management Services ExpensesAdministrative

Third-party developmentGeneral and management servicesadministrative expenses increased by approximately $1.6$1.7 million, from $3.8$8.1 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $5.4$9.8 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase iswas primarily due to $1.1 million of payroll costs from the Disney College Program management contract described above. We anticipate this expense item will increaseadditional expenses incurred in 2019 as comparedconnection with enhancements to 2018 due to the recognition of reimbursed payroll costs for the Disney College Program management contract, as well as an overall increase in pursuit activity for third-party development projects during 2019.our operating systems platform and other general inflationary factors.  

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization increaseddecreased by approximately $2.8$2.4 million, from $66.1$68.8 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $68.9$66.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  The increasedecrease was primarily due to a $4.1$4.3 million decrease related to assets at our same store properties that became fully depreciated or amortized over the last year, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million related to properties sold in 2019 and 2020, and a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in depreciation of corporate assets. These decreases were offset by an increase of approximately $4.0 million related to the completion of construction and opening of ten owned development properties in Fall 2018, and three owned development properties and two presale properties in Fall 2019. The increase was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation expense at same store properties due to assets that became fully amortized or depreciated during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We anticipate depreciation and amortization expense will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the completion of owned development projects in Fall 2018 and Fall 2019, offset by property dispositions completed during 2018 and 2019.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately $3.1$0.1 million, from $25.2$27.1 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $28.3$27.2 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily due to $1.1$3.5 million of additional interest expense dueincurred related to our offerings of unsecured notes in June 2019, January 2020 and June 2020, net of unsecured notes repaid in January 2020 that were originally scheduled to mature in October 2020. This increase was offset by: (i) a $1.9 million decrease related to the timing of borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility during the respective three-month periods andperiods; (ii) a $3.6 million increase in interest expense related to our $400 million offering of unsecured notes in June 2019. These increases were offset by an $0.8$0.9 million decrease in default interest related to a property that was transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s mortgage loan in July 2019,2019; and (iii) a $0.4$0.5 million increasedecrease in capitalized interest. We anticipate interest expense will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018on our term loan facility due to increased interest rates on a higher average outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility throughout 2019, additional interest incurred from $330 millionrate swaps executed in mortgage debt as part of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction,November and additional interest incurred from the issuance of unsecured notes issued in JuneDecember 2019.

Gain from Extinguishment of DebtNet Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

ReferOperating Partnership units. Net loss attributable to Note 6 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.

Other Nonoperating Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a $0.6 million gain on an insurance settlement due to hail damage at one of our owned properties. The gain represents insurance proceeds received in excess of the net book value of the assets written off as a result of the damage.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provisionnoncontrolling interests increased by approximately $0.5$1.9 million, from a $0.2 million benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to a $0.3 million expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2019 to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase wasis primarily due to decreased operating performance at certain properties held through joint ventures due to the impact of COVID-19, partially offset by the purchase of the remaining ownership interests in properties held in a decrease to an estimated taxable gain recorded injoint venture as part of the prior year related resulting from the ACC / Allianz Joint VentureCore Transaction.

The Company adopted new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019, which required the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts from operating expenses to revenue. For purposes of calculating same store and new property results of operations, the reclassification is reflected for all periods presented to ensure comparability between periods. The provision for uncollectible accounts for owned properties was $6.1 million and $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Same Store Properties:  The increasedecrease in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to the same factors that contributed to the decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average rental rates for the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 academic years as well as an increase in weighted average occupancy from 90.5%during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to 92.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.year.

The increasedecrease in operating expenses from our same store properties was primarily due to anticipated increases in property taxes associated with higher assessed values in certain markets, as well as the increase in marketing expenses previously discussed.same factors that contributed to the decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

New Property Operations: Our new properties for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 are summarized in the table of new properties contained in the discussion of our results of operations for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations
 
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020, we had six OCPPs containing 5,230 beds. In JanuaryRevenues from these properties decreased by $3.0 million, from $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, one owned property located at Prairie View A&M University was convertedto $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to the OCPP structure and is now included in our OCPP portfolio, contributingsame factors that contributed to the increase in both revenues and expenses for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.

Operating expenses at these properties decreased by approximately $1.2 million, from $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $6.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. In addition, the Company adopted new lease accounting guidance on January 1, 2019, which required the reclassification of the provision for uncollectible accounts from operating expenses to revenue.2020. The reclassificationdecrease is reflected on a prospective basis in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income contained in Item 1 herein starting in the first quarter 2019. The amount reclassified from operating expenses to revenue was a $0.6 million benefit and a $0.2 million expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We anticipate that revenues from these properties for 2019 will increaseprimarily due to the same factors described above. In addition, future revenues will be dependent on our abilitythat contributed to maintain our current leases in effectthe increase for the 2018/2019 academic year and our ability to obtain appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy for the 2019/2020 academic year. We anticipate that operating expenses for these properties for 2019 will increase as compared to 2018 due to the conversion of one property to the OCPP structure in January 2019 and general inflation.three months ended June 30, 2020.


Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue increaseddecreased by approximately $8.5$3.5 million, from $3.9$6.8 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $12.4$3.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  The increasedecrease was primarily due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction of three projects during the Calhoun Hall project at Drexel University in March 2019, the ninth phase at Prairie View A&M University in April 2019, and our second project with the University of California, Riverside in Julysix months ended June 30, 2019, which contributed $6.9$4.3 million in revenue during the nineprior year period, in addition to a decrease in the number of third-party development projects under construction during the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, as compared to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction of the Delaware State University project in May 2018, which contributed $1.6 million in revenue during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. In addition, during2019. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020 we also continued development services for fivehad three projects that commencedunder construction in 2018, for which we earned feeswith an average contractual fee of approximately $5.4$4.7 million, as compared to threeeight projects that commencedunder construction in 2017, for which we earned fees of approximately $2.1 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019 with an average contractual fee of $3.7 million.


Third-Party Management Services Revenue

Third-party management services revenue increased by approximately $1.8$0.7 million, from $7.3$5.8 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $9.1$6.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily due to reimbursed payroll and other costs from the Disney College Program management contract which began in April 2019. As facilities manager, the Company is responsible for the operations and maintenance of the projects. Because of the company’s role in funding payroll costs for on-site personnel at the properties, as well as other miscellaneous costs, accounting guidance requires the management fee for this project to be recorded on a gross basis in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, both management services revenue and third-party management services expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 include approximately $2.1 million in such reimbursed costs as compared to approximately $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was partially offset by the same factors that contributed to the increasedecrease in third-party management services revenue for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, as discussed above. The increase was partially offset by discontinued third-party management contracts in 2018 and 2019.

Third-Party Development and Management Services Expenses

Third-party development and management services expenses increased by approximately $2.5 million, from $11.6$8.7 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $14.1$11.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase wasis primarily due to the same factors that contributed to thean increase in reimbursed payroll and other costs from the Disney College Program management contract as described above, increased pursuit activity for potential third-party development and management services expensescontracts, and an increase in the provision for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as discussed above.uncollectible accounts related to accounts receivable from third-party development and management projects.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreasedincreased by approximately $4.5 million from $27.1$15.4 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $22.6$19.9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. Excluding $5.8 million in transaction costs incurred in connection with the closing of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction in May 2018, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million. This2020. The increase was primarily due to $1.1 million in litigation settlement expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as well as additional expenses incurred in connection with enhancements to our operating systems platform additional payroll expenses, and other general inflationary factors.  We anticipate general and administrative expenses will decrease in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to transaction costs incurred in 2018 related to the formation of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction, offset by an increase in payroll costs and an increase in expenses incurred in connection with enhancements to our operating systems platform.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increaseddecreased by approximately $12.1$5.0 million, from $194.4$137.6 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $206.5$132.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.  The increasedecrease was primarily due to a $15.4an $8.5 million increase related to the completion of construction and opening of ten development properties in Fall 2018, and three owned development properties and two presale development properties in Fall 2019, as well as a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense at our on-campus participating properties due to the conversion of one property to the OCPP structure. This increase was partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to properties sold in 2018 and 2019, in addition to a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense at our same store properties due to assets that became fully amortized or depreciated duringover the nine months ended September 30,last year, a $3.5 million decrease related to properties sold in 2019 and 2020 and a decrease of approximately $0.6 million in depreciation of corporate assets. These decreases were offset by an increase of approximately $7.6 million related to the completion of construction and opening of owned development properties in Fall 2019.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $1.5 million, from $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to ACE development projects that completed construction and opened for operations in Fall 2018 and Fall 2019 and increased variable payments at various ACE same store properties. We anticipate ground/facility leases expense will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of the timing of new ACE projects being placed into service, the conversion of one owned property to the OCPP structure in January 2019, and improved performance at various ACE same store properties.


(Gain) Loss (Gain) from Disposition of Real Estate

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020, we sold one owned property containing 901 beds, resulting in a net gain from disposition of real estate of approximately $48.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold one owned property containing 544 beds, resulting in a net loss from disposition of real estate of approximately $0.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold a portfolio of three owned properties containing 1,338 beds, resulting in a net gain from disposition of real estate of approximately $42.3 million. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1.

Provision for Real Estate Impairment

Other Operating Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a $2.6 million gain related to cash proceeds received from a litigation settlement.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by approximately $0.8 million, from $3.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the planned forgiveness of loans receivable resulting from the unwinding of a New Market Tax Credit ("NMTC") structure at one of the Company's owned properties in 2018. We anticipate interest income to decrease for the full year 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the 2018 unwinding of the NMTC structure at one of the Company’s owned properties.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately $10.2$0.9 million, from $72.2$54.1 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, to $82.4$55.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. The increase was primarily due to $6.8$6.9 million of additional interest expense dueincurred related to our offerings of unsecured notes in June 2019, January 2020 and June 2020, net of unsecured notes repaid in January 2020 that were originally scheduled to mature in October 2020, and a $0.3 million decrease in capitalized interest. This increase was offset by: (i) a $2.1 million decrease related to the timing of borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility during the respective nine month periods, $5.6 million in additional interest expense incurred in the current year related to the issuance of $330 million in mortgage debt as part of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction which closed in May 2018, andsix-month periods; (ii) a $4.1 million increase in interest expense related to our $400 million offering of unsecured notes in June 2019. These increases were offset by a $4.3 million decrease in term loan interest expense due to the pay-off of $450 million of term loans in 2018, a $1.0 million decrease due to the unwinding of an NMTC structure at one of the Company’s owned properties, and a $0.6$1.7 million decrease in default interest related to a property that was transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s mortgage loan in July 2019.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased by approximately2019; (iii) a $1.0 million from $4.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarilyin interest on our term loan facility due to $0.9interest rate swaps executed in November and December 2019; (iv) a $0.6 million of accelerated amortization recorded in the prior year relateddecrease due to the pay-off of $450 million of term loanmortgage debt in May 2018. We anticipate amortization of deferred finance costs will2020; and (v) a $0.3 million decrease in 2019, as increases relatedat our on-campus participating properties due to offerings of unsecured debt in 2019 will be more than offset by the 2018 accelerated amortization related to the pay-off of term loan debt. scheduled principal payments.

Gain (Loss)Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we recognized a $21.0$4.8 million gainloss on the extinguishment of debt associated with a property that was transferredrelated to the lenderearly redemption of our $400 million 3.35% Senior Notes due October 2020. The redemption was funded using net proceeds from the Operating Partnership’s closing of a $400 million offering of senior unsecured notes under its existing shelf registration in settlement of the property’s mortgage loan in July 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred approximately $0.8 million of losses associated with the early pay-off of mortgage loans in connection with the sale of one owned property and one owned property includedJanuary 2020. Refer to Note 6 in the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction.

Other Nonoperating Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognizedaccompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a $0.6 million gain on an insurance settlement due to hail damage at onedetailed discussion of our owned properties. The gain represents insurance proceeds received in excess of the net book value of the assets written off as a result of the damage.


Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision decreased by approximately $1.1 million from $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to estimated state income tax recorded in the prior year related to a taxable gain resulting from the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction.this transaction.

This decrease is primarily due to the closingpurchase of the ACC / Allianz Joint Ventureremaining ownership interests in properties held in a joint venture as part of the Core Transaction, in May 2018.as well as decreased operating performance at certain properties held through joint ventures due to COVID-19.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Balances and Cash Flows
 
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had $85.8$61.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as compared to $106.5$81.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2018.2019.  Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow accounts held by lenders, resident security deposits as required by law in certain states, and funds held in escrow in connection with potential acquisition and development opportunities.  The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1.

This decrease was due topartially offset by operating cash flows from the completion of construction of owned development properties and presale development properties in Fall 2018 and 2019, as well as the timing of collections of student contracts receivable. This increase was offset by the timing of property tax payments for owned properties and the saletiming of properties in 2018 and 2019, and a $13.2 million interest rate swap termination payment made in June 2019.payments.

Investing Activities:  Investing activities utilized approximately $407.1$51.5 million and $216.1$239.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

This decrease in proceeds was offset by (i)and a $22.8$64.2 million decrease in cash used to fund the construction of our owned development properties; (ii) an $18.0 million decreaseproperties. These decreases in cash usedutilized were partially offset by a $12.3 million increase in other investing activities due to the reimbursement of construction costs for the acquisition of land parcels; and (iii)Disney Education Center, which was classified as a $3.5 million decrease in cash used to fund capital expenditures at our owned and on-campus participating properties.deferred financing lease.

The $137.8$185.4 million increase in cash providedutilized by financing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) $398.8the $404.2 million pay-off of unsecured notes including costs associated with the early extinguishment of the notes; (ii) the purchase of the remaining ownership interest in two properties for $77.2 million; (iii) a $37.5 million increase in net paydowns on our revolving credit facility;

(iv) the $34.2 million pay-off of mortgage debt; and (v) a $26.1 million decrease due to proceeds from construction loans in the prior year period.

Liquidity Needs, Sources and Uses of Capital

As previously discussed, the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the student housing industry generally, and the Company specifically, is uncertain at this time. As such, the Company is unable to predict the full magnitude of the pandemic and its effect on our future cash flows and liquidity needs. The most significant factors affecting our future results are outlined above under Results of Operations.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company has met its financial obligations and believes it has sufficient liquidity to withstand future disruption. The Company has no additional debt maturities for the remainder of 2020, and has enacted expense reduction initiatives, including suspending all non-essential capital improvement projects. Additionally, in June 2020, the Company closed a $400 million offering of 3.875% 10-year senior unsecured notes, resulting in net proceeds of $391.7 million. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, thus providing additional liquidity.

As of June 30, 2020, our short-term liquidity needs included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) anticipatedpotential distribution payments to our common and restricted stockholders totaling approximately $260.1$260.8 million based on an assumed annual cashassuming no change from the Company’s most recent quarterly distribution of $1.88$0.47 per share and the number of our shares outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019;2020; (ii) anticipatedpotential distribution payments to our Operating Partnership unitholders totaling approximately $0.9 million based on an assumed annualassuming no change from the Operating Partnership’s most recent quarterly distribution of $1.88$0.47 per common unit and the number of units outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and a cumulative preferential per annum cash distribution rate of 5.99% on our Preferred OP Units based on the number of units outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019;2020; (iii) estimated development costs over the next 12 months totaling approximately $338.6$226.7 million for our owned properties currently under construction; (iv) a $48.7 million obligation to purchase one property subject to a presale arrangement (see Note 13 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1); (v) an obligation to increase our investment in two joint ventures, resulting in a funding commitment of approximately $130.2 million (see Note 13 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1); (vi) the pay-off of approximately $34.6$126.3 million of outstanding fixed rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature duringin the next 12 months; and (vii)(v) potential future developments, property or land acquisitions,acquisitions; and commencement of construction of owned development projects, including mezzanine financed developments.(vi) recurring capital expenditures.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements by: (i) utilizing current cash on hand and net cash provided by operations; (ii) borrowing under our existing revolving credit facility;facility, which has availability of $813.5 million as of June 30, 2020; (iii) accessing the unsecured bond market; (iv) exercising debt extension options to the extent they are available; (v) issuing securities, including common stock, under our ATM Equity Program discussed more fully in Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, or otherwise; and (vi) potentially disposing of properties and/or entering into joint venture arrangements, depending on market conditions. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the real estate industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the perception of lenders regarding our long or short-term financial prospects.

We may seek additional funds to undertake initiatives not contemplated by our business plan or obtain additional cushion against possible shortfalls. We also may pursue additional financing as opportunities arise. Future financings may include a range of different sizes or types of financing, including the incurrence of additional secured debt and the sale of additional debt or equity securities. These funds may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing depends on several factors, including future market conditions, our success or lack of success in penetrating our markets, our future creditworthiness, and restrictions contained in agreements with our investors or lenders, including the restrictions contained in the agreements governing our unsecured credit facility and unsecured notes. These financings could increase our level of indebtedness or result in dilution to our equity holders. The impact of the pandemic on global capital markets and the related effect on the Company’s stock price has introduced additional economic uncertainty which could affect our ability to obtain additional financing to meet short-term and/or long-term liquidity needs.
Although the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity as of June 30, 2020 to withstand future disruption related to COVID-19, the impact of the pandemic on global capital markets has impacted our stock price and credit ratings and introduced additional economic uncertainty, which could affect our ability to obtain additional financing to meet short-term and/or long-term liquidity needs.



Distributions
 
We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Distributions to common stockholders are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We may use borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility to fund distributions.  The Board of Directors considers a number of factors when determining distribution levels, including market factors and our Company’s performance in addition to REIT requirements.
 
On October 30, 2019,July 29, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a distribution per share of $0.47, which will be paid on November 22, 2019August 21, 2020 to all common stockholders of record as of November 11, 2019.August 10, 2020.  At the same time, the Operating Partnership will pay an equivalent amount per unit to holders of Common OP Units, as well as the quarterly cumulative preferential distribution to holders of Preferred OP Units.


Although the ultimate magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future cash flows is uncertain, any curtailed or deferred tenant demand, additional lease terminations, rent refunds or abatements, or increased uncollectible accounts could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows from operations, and thus the Company’s ability to make distributions to stockholders and unitholders.

In October 2019,As discussed previously, as of June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swaphas met its financial obligations including servicing its debt and believes it has sufficient liquidity to convert $37.5 millionwithstand future disruption. However, the ultimate magnitude of a $40.8 million variable rate mortgage loanthe pandemic on our future cash flows and liquidity position is uncertain at one of its on-campus participating properties to a fixed rate. Additionally, in October 2019,this time. While the Company entered into an interest rate swapwas in compliance with all debt covenants for both secured and unsecured indebtedness as of June 30, 2020, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could

adversely affect our future ability to convert $100remain in compliance with our debt covenants, depending on the ultimate impact on the valuation of collateral and the incurrence of any additional financing to meet our liquidity needs. The specific covenants that management is closely monitoring as the situation evolves include the debt-to-total asset value and fixed charge coverage requirements under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. As it relates to the debt-to-total asset value covenant, which is highly dependent on net operating income levels of the Company’s operating properties, management believes that net operating income at such properties could decrease in the next 12 months by up to approximately $145 million before the Company is at risk of its unsecured term loanpotentially violating the covenant. As it relates to the fixed charge coverage covenant, which is highly dependent upon a fixed rate.specific measure of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”), as defined in the related agreement, management believes that the EBITDA measure for the next 12 months could decrease by up to approximately $255 million before the Company is at risk of potentially violating the covenant. In addition, our credit ratings given by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are based on a number of factors, which include their assessment of our financial strength, liquidity, capital structure, asset quality and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. If we are unable to maintain our current credit ratings due to the COVID-19 pandemic or any other matter, the cost of funds under our credit facilities and our liquidity and access to capital markets would be adversely affected. The Company has a BBB credit rating with a stable outlook from Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and a Baa2 credit rating with a negative outlook from Standard & Poor’s Rating Group.



Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines 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, many of which present FFO when reporting their results.  FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time.  Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions.  We therefore believe that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, among other items, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.  We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its December 2018 White Paper, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other 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, the elimination of transaction costs, and other items, as we determine in good faith. Under our participating ground leases, we and the participating university systems each receive 50% of the properties’ net cash available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service (which includes significant amounts towards repayment of principal), and capital expenditures.  A substantial portion of our revenues attributable to these properties is reflective of cash that is required to be used for capital expenditures and for the amortization of applicable property indebtedness. These amounts do not increase our economic interest in these properties or otherwise benefit us since our interest in the properties terminates upon the repayment of the applicable property indebtedness.  Therefore, unlike the ownership of our owned properties, the unique features of our ownership interest in our on-campus participating properties cause the value of these properties to diminish over time.  For example, since the ground/facility leases under which we operate the participating properties require the reinvestment from operations of specified amounts for capital expenditures and for the repayment of debt while our interest in these properties terminates upon the repayment of the debt, such capital expenditures do not increase the value of the property to us and mortgage debt amortization only increases the equity of the ground lessor. Accordingly, we believe it is meaningful to modify FFO to exclude the operations of our on-campus participating properties and to consider their impact on our performance by including only that portion of our revenues from those properties that are reflective of our share of net cash flow and the management fees that we receive, both of which increase and decrease with the operating performance of the properties.  This narrower measure of performance measures our profitability for these properties in a manner that is similar to the measure of our profitability from our third-party services business where we similarly incur no initial or ongoing capital investment in a property and derive only consequential benefits from capital expenditures and debt amortization. We believe, however, that this narrower measure of performance is inappropriate in traditional real estate ownership structures where debt amortization and capital expenditures enhance the property owner’s long-term profitability from its investment.

Our FFOM may have limitations as an analytical tool because it reflects the contractual calculation of net cash flow from our on-campus participating properties, which is unique to us and is different from that of our owned off-campus properties.  Companies that are considered to be in our industry may not have similar ownership structures; and therefore those companies may not calculate FFOM in the same manner that we do, or at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP and FFO results and using FFOM only supplementally.  Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties.  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.

During the quarteryear ended September 30,December 31, 2019, the Company updated the presentation of the calculation of FFO.FFO, as it relates to the presentation of consolidated joint venture partners' share of FFO and the presentation of corporate depreciation. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current presentation. There were no changes to the FFO calculated or the underlying financial information used in the calculation.

Inflation

Our student leases do not typically provide for rent escalations. However, they typically do not have terms that extend beyond 12 months. Accordingly, although on a short term basis we would be required to bear the impact of rising costs resulting from inflation, we have the opportunity to raise rental rates at least annually to offset such rising costs. However, a weak economic environment or declining student enrollment at our principal universities may limit our ability to raise rental rates.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.  Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates.  Accordingly, we manage ourThe Company manages its market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing, and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majorityCompany is exposed to adverse changes in prevailing market rates and the impact of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates.  Our exposure to market risk includesadverse interest rate fluctuations in connection with our revolvingchanges on its unsecured credit facilities and variable rate construction loans and ourfacility as well as its ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing ourapproval. However, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rates, and the majority of its outstanding debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows.has fixed interest rates.  No material changes have occurred in relation to market risk since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, except as disclosed in Part II, Item 1A, herein, “Risk Factors.”

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.  While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
ThereExcept as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that were discussed in Part 1, Item 1A of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019 and in Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s Quarterly Report on from 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we are operating our business, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
The novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, has currently resulted in a widespread health crisis, which has adversely affected international, national and local economies and financial markets generally, and has had an unprecedented effect on many businesses including the student housing industry.
Beginning in April 2020, our operations began to be negatively affected by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not within our control. All of the colleges and universities our properties serve canceled in-person classes for the remainder of the spring and summer term and many closed their on-campus residence halls or encouraged students living in on-campus residence halls to return to their permanent residences for the remainder of the spring term and in some cases for the summer term. Also, a wide range of restrictions on physical movement imposed by governmental entities to limit the spread of COVID-19 have been in effect. While our properties remain open, as a result of these actions, we have experienced significant decreases in students physically occupying their units at many of our properties. We have waived all late fees, online payment fees and financial-related eviction proceedings temporarily and are working with residents and families who endure financial hardship on a case by case basis. In certain circumstances, we have provided financial assistance including rent abatements and/or early lease terminations at both our off-campus properties and our on-campus properties based on individual university policies. In addition, we transitioned property tours and other leasing activities to virtual experiences. Furthermore, we have experienced cancellations of summer camps, conferences and other events, which has impacted revenue we typically earn during the summer months at certain of our properties. We have also experienced delays in the closing of financing and commencement of construction for our third-party development projects, resulting in the revenue anticipated to be earned from such projects being delayed to future years. Curtailed or deferred tenant demand and additional delays in our third-party development projects could materially adversely affect our revenues and cash flows from operations, and thus our ability to make distributions to stockholders and unitholders and service indebtedness.
As of July 19, 2020, a third party source reported that 63 of the 68 universities served by the Company’s communities are planning for a return to in-person classes or a hybrid in-person model for Fall 2020, while only five are planning for primarily online classes. However, at this time, there remains uncertainty as to the dates for reopening by colleges and universities, and whether these plans will change. Should a significant number of the colleges and universities that our properties serve fail to resume in-person classes for the upcoming 2020/2021 academic year or decide to cancel classes due to a resurgence of COVID-19 cases or additional governmental actions restricting physical movement, we would experience further adverse effects.
A significant number of the locations in which we conduct business have been subject to “shelter in place” or “stay at home” orders adopted by state and local authorities. This resulted in a temporary closing of our corporate headquarters and other offices and the implementation of travel restrictions, all of which disrupted how we operate our business. We have taken steps to allow our workforce to render critical business functions remotely. Many of these measures are being deployed for the first time and there is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter some of the common risks associated with employees accessing data and systems remotely. Additionally, some of these orders may adversely affect the completion of some or all of our projects under development at both universities and at Walt Disney World® Resort if we are required to temporarily cease construction entirely, experience delays in obtaining governmental permits and authorizations, or experience disruption in the supply of materials or labor, which may result in our not completing these development projects on schedule or within budgeted amounts.


The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the capital markets and could impact our cost of borrowing. Also, the pandemic may pose risks arising from market liquidity and credit concerns. Any deterioration of the capital markets could cause our income and expense to vary from expectations. As of June 30, 2020, we had no impairment charges associated with our long-term real estate investments, but we cannot predict future market conditions, market liquidity or credit availability, and can provide no assurance that our real estate portfolio will remain materially unimpaired. While we were in compliance with all debt covenants for both secured and unsecured indebtedness as of June 30, 2020, the economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could affect our future ability to remain in compliance with our debt covenants, depending on the ultimate impact to the valuation of collateral and any additional financing we obtain to meet our liquidity needs. In addition, our credit ratings given by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s are based on a number of factors, which include their assessment of our financial strength, liquidity, capital structure, asset quality and sustainability of cash flow and earnings. If we are unable to maintain our current credit ratings due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other changes in market conditions, the cost of funds under our credit facilities and our liquidity and access to capital markets would be adversely affected.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread continue to evolve daily. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude of the pandemic on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020, or future years.
