The performance of our multifamily MRB portfolio and Vantage investments during the past 12 months has put us in a strong position as the U.S. economy transitions towards a full-scale reopening, said Ken Rogozinski, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer.
The plans for on-campus, in-person university classes for the Fall 2021 is a positive development for operations at the three investments where we have primarily university student tenants, said Rogozinski. We are actively working with the individual property managers to ensure the health and safety of our student tenants as they return to campus this fall.
Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
This report refers to Cash Available for Distribution (CAD), which is identified as a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe CAD provides relevant information about our operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding our operating results. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and our computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although we consider CAD to be a useful measure of our operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. See the table at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and our CAD for the periods set forth.

The Partnership will host a Webcast & Earnings Call for Unitholders on Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the Partnerships First Quarter 2021 results. Participants can access the Earnings Call in one of two ways:
