Investment Updates and Management Remarks
The Partnership announced the following updates regarding its investment portfolio:
The sustained results of our multifamily MRB and GIL portfolios throughout the COVID-19 pandemic put us in a strong position as the U.S. economy continues to reopen, said Ken Rogozinski, the Partnerships Chief Executive Officer. Recent sales of Vantage multifamily investments have generated significant returns and the strong lease-up velocity at those Vantage properties that have completed construction are very encouraging for this segment of our business.
We are very pleased with the lease-up activities at our two student housing MF Properties and Live 929 Apartments for the new academic year as the nearby universities work towards full resumption of on-campus, in-person university classes, said Rogozinski. We are actively working with the individual property managers to ensure the health and safety of 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.
