AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES

THIRD QUARTER 2015 OPERATING RESULTS

(Arlington, VA) AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB) (the “Company”) reported today Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 of $206,142,000. This resulted in Earnings per Share – diluted (“EPS”) of $1.53 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.83 per share for the comparable period of 2014, a decrease of 16.4%.

Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders - diluted (“FFO”) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased 5.6% to $2.02 from $2.14 for the comparable period of 2014. FFO per share adjusted for items as detailed in Attachment 13 ("Core FFO" per share) increased by 11.6% to $1.93 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year period.

The increase in Core FFO per share was primarily driven by an increase in Net Operating Income (“NOI”) from newly developed and existing operating communities, partially offset by an increase in common shares outstanding. FFO per share decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the recognition of the Company’s promoted interest from the sale of Avalon Chrystie Place in the prior year period, offset partially by the gain on extinguishment of debt and factors impacting the increase in Core FFO per share discussed above. The decrease in the Company’s EPS was primarily due to the decrease in gains on sale of consolidated and joint venture communities, including the sale of Avalon Chrystie Place in the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in NOI from newly developed and existing operating communities and gains from the extinguishment of debt.

The following table compares the Company’s actual results for FFO per share and Core FFO per share for the third quarter of 2015 to its July 2015 outlook:

(1) The mid-point of the Company's July 2015 outlook.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, EPS was $4.39 compared to EPS of $4.14 for the comparable period of 2014, an increase of 6.0%. FFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 10.7% to $6.08 from $5.49 for the comparable period of 2014. Core FFO per share increased by 10.1% to $5.56 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, over the prior year period.

Commenting on the Company’s results, Tim Naughton, Chairman and CEO, said, "Better-than-expected apartment fundamentals and well-executed operating initiatives helped produce our stabilized portfolio’s highest rate of sequential rental revenue growth in over a decade. We expect favorable apartment fundamentals to persist, supporting our fourth year of double-digit Core FFO per share growth since 2010."

Operating Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Prior Year Period

For the Company, including discontinued operations, total revenue increased by $44,835,000, or 10.4%, to $475,360,000. This increase is primarily due to growth in revenue from development communities and growth in Established Community revenue noted below.

For Established Communities, Average Rental Rates increased 5.8%, and were partially offset by a decrease in Economic Occupancy of 0.4%, resulting in an increase in rental revenue of 5.4%. If the Company were to include current and previously completed Redevelopment Communities in its Established Communities portfolio, the increase in Established Communities' rental revenue would have been 5.7%. Total revenue for Established Communities increased $18,566,000 to $356,163,000. Operating expenses for Established Communities increased $6,572,000, or 6.4%, to $108,520,000. NOI for Established Communities increased $11,994,000, or 5.1%, to $247,643,000.

The following table reflects the percentage changes in rental revenue, operating expenses and NOI for Established Communities for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014:

For the Company, including discontinued operations, total revenue increased by $130,201,000, or 10.5%, to $1,375,187,000. This increase is primarily due to growth in revenue from development communities and growth in Established Community revenue noted below.

For Established Communities, Average Rental Rates increased 5.1%, and were partially offset by a decrease in Economic Occupancy of 0.2%, resulting in an increase in rental revenue of 4.9%. If the Company were to include current and previously completed Redevelopment Communities in its Established Communities portfolio, the increase in Established Communities' rental revenue would have been 5.0%. Total revenue for Established Communities increased $48,236,000 to $1,043,282,000. Operating expenses for Established Communities increased $13,050,000, or 4.3%, to $315,895,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold Avalon Lyndhurst, a wholly-owned community located in Lyndhurst, NJ.

These could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that might cause such differences include the following, among others: the Company's expectations and assumptions as of the date of this release regarding insurance coverage, potential uninsured loss amounts and on-going investigations resulting from the Avalon at Edgewater fire, as well as the ultimate cost and timing of replacing the Edgewater building and achieving stabilized occupancy in the event that the Company chooses to rebuild this community, are subject to change and could materially affect the Company's current expectations regarding the impact of the fire and related loss on the Company's financial condition and results of operations; we

may abandon development or redevelopment opportunities for which we have already incurred costs; adverse capital and credit market conditions may affect our access to various sources of capital and/or cost of capital, which may affect our business activities, earnings and common stock price, among other things; changes in local employment conditions, demand for apartment homes, supply of competitive housing products, and other economic conditions may result in lower than expected occupancy and/or rental rates and adversely affect the profitability of our communities; delays in completing development, redevelopment and/or lease-up may result in increased financing and construction costs and may delay and/or reduce the profitability of a community; debt and/or equity financing for development, redevelopment or acquisitions of communities may not be available or may not be available on favorable terms; we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary governmental permits and authorizations; expenses may result in communities that we develop or redevelop failing to achieve expected profitability; our assumptions concerning risks relating to our lack of control of joint ventures and our abilities to successfully dispose of certain assets may not be realized; our assumptions and expectations in our financial outlook may prove to be too optimistic. Additional discussions of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements appear in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 under the heading “Risk Factors” and under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Forward-Looking Statements” and in subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

(1)	See Attachment #13 - Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms.

(2)

Property taxes increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the respective prior year periods primarily due to successful appeals and reductions of supplemental taxes in the prior year period in excess of the current year period related to the Company’s West Coast markets. The increase is also due to an increases in rates and assessments, particularly in the Company's East Coast markets.

(3)

Payroll includes expenses directly related to on-site operations and increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year periods due to increased on-site payroll costs, partially offset by a decrease in third-party labor costs in office operations. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is also due to increased benefits costs from higher medical claims and compliance with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

(4)

Repairs and maintenance increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year periods, primarily due to increased turnover costs and the timing of maintenance expenses as compared to the prior year period. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is also due to snow removal and other costs related to severe winter storms in the Company's Northeast markets in the first quarter of 2015 and a decrease in damage receipts as compared to the prior year period.


(5)	Office operations includes administrative costs, land lease expense, bad debt expense and association and license fees. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from the prior year period is primarily due to a decrease in rent write-offs and a decrease in third-party labor costs, which partially offset the increase in payroll expense.

(6)

Utilities represent aggregate utility costs, net of resident reimbursements. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year periods is primarily due to an increase in water, sewer and trash expense net of resident reimbursements, partially offset by a decrease in gas expense. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is also partially due to an increase in electrical expense over the prior year period.

(7)

Insurance costs consist of premiums, expected claims activity and associated reductions from receipt of claims recoveries. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year periods is primarily due to increased property premiums as well as the timing of claims and related recoveries. Insurance costs can exhibit volatility due to the amounts and timing of estimated and actual claim activity and the related recoveries received.

(8)

Marketing costs represent amounts incurred for electronic and print advertising, as well as prospect management and incentive costs. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the prior year periods is primarily due to increased customer service incentives related to capital projects at current operating communities. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is also due to an increase in internet advertising. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is also due to customer service incentives granted as a result of the severe winter storms in the Company's Northeast markets during the first quarter of 2015.


(9)	Operating expenses for Established Communities excludes indirect costs for off-site corporate-level property management related expenses and other support-related expenses.

Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

This release, including its attachments, contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms. The definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures referred to below should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative measure of liquidity or as indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Average Rent per Home, as calculated for certain Development and Redevelopment Communities in lease-up, reflects management’s projected stabilized rents net of estimated stabilized concessions, including estimated stabilized other rental revenue and excluding projected commercial revenue. Projected stabilized rents are based on one or more of the following: (i) actual average leased rents on apartments leased through quarter end; (ii) projected rollover rents on apartments leased through quarter end where the lease term expires within the first twelve months of Stabilized Operations, and (iii) Market Rents on unleased homes.

Average Rental Rates are calculated by the Company as rental revenue in accordance with GAAP, divided by the weighted average number of occupied apartment homes.

Core FFO is the Company's FFO as adjusted for the items outlined in the following table (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

(2) YTD 2015 amount is composed primarily of insurance proceeds, partially offset by costs from the fire at Edgewater.

(3) Composed of expensed development rights and retail tenant improvements.

Attachment 13

Debt Covenant Compliance ratios for the Unsecured Line of Credit Covenants show the Company's compliance with selected covenants provided in the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of September 29, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of December 20, 2012, and the Company’s Term Loan Agreement dated March 31, 2014, which have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s periodic reports with the SEC. The ratios for the Unsecured Senior Notes Covenants show the Company's compliance with selected covenants provided in the Company’s Indenture dated as of January 16, 1998, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 1998, Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 7, 1998, Amended and Restated Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 20, 2000, Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 18, 2006 and Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 21, 2014, which have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s periodic reports with the SEC.

The Debt Covenant Compliance ratios are provided only to show the Company’s compliance with certain covenants contained in the Indenture governing its unsecured debt securities and in the Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan, as of the date reported. These ratios should not be used for any other purpose, including without limitation to evaluate the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, nor do they indicate the Company’s covenant compliance as of any other date or for any other period. The capitalized terms in the disclosure are defined in the Indenture or the Credit Facility and may differ materially from similar terms (a) used elsewhere in this release and the Attachments and (b) used by other companies that present information about their covenant compliance. For risks related to failure to comply with these covenants, see “Risk Factors – Risks related to indebtedness” and other risks discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC.

Debt-to-Total Market Capitalization is a measure of leverage that is calculated by expressing, as a percentage, debt divided by Total Market Capitalization, which is defined as the aggregate of the market value of the Company’s common stock, the market value of the Company’s operating partnership units outstanding (based on the market value of the Company’s common stock) and the outstanding principal balance of debt. Management believes that this measure of leverage can be one useful measure of a real estate operating company’s long-term liquidity and balance sheet strength, because it shows an approximate relationship between a company’s total debt and the current total market value of its assets based on the current price at which the Company’s common stock trades. Because this measure of leverage changes with fluctuations in the Company’s stock price, which occur regularly, this measure may change even when the Company’s earnings, interest and debt levels remain stable. Investors should also note that the net realizable value of the Company’s assets in liquidation is not easily determinable and may differ substantially from the Company’s Total Market Capitalization.

Development Communities are communities that are under construction during the current year. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating.

Development Rights are development opportunities in the early phase of the development process for which the Company either has an option to acquire land or enter into a leasehold interest, for which the Company is the buyer under a long-term conditional contract to purchase land, where the Company controls the land through a ground lease or owns land to develop a new community, or where the Company is the designated developer in a public-private partnership. The Company capitalizes related pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new developments for which future development is probable.

Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated by the Company as the gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP, less accumulated depreciation through the date of sale and any other non-cash adjustments that may be required under GAAP accounting. Management generally considers Economic Gain (Loss) to be an appropriate supplemental measure to gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP because it helps investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the sold community. The Economic Gain (Loss) for each of the communities presented is estimated based on their respective final settlement statements. A reconciliation of Economic Gain (Loss) to gain on sale in accordance with GAAP for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as well as prior years’ activities is presented elsewhere on Attachment 12.

Economic Occupancy (“Ec Occ”) is defined as total possible revenue less vacancy loss as a percentage of total possible revenue. Total possible revenue (also known as “gross potential”) is determined by valuing occupied units at contract rates and vacant units at Market Rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current Market Rents. By measuring vacant apartments at their Market Rents, Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that apartment homes of different sizes and locations within a community have different economic impacts on a community’s gross revenue.

Established Communities are identified by the Company as communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful, as these communities were owned and had Stabilized Operations, as defined below, as of the beginning of the respective prior year period. Therefore, for 2015 operating results, Established Communities are consolidated communities that have Stabilized Operations as of January 1, 2014 and are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year. Established Communities do not include communities that are currently held for sale or planned for disposition during the current year.

Attachment 13

FFO is calculated by the Company in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is calculated by the Company as Net income or loss attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets, write-downs of investments in affiliates which are driven by a decrease in the value of depreciable real estate assets held by the affiliate and depreciation of real estate assets, including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management generally considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated operating communities and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of FFO to Net income attributable to common stockholders is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1) YTD 2014 includes the impact of the noncontrolling portion of the gain on sale of community owned by Fund I that was consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Initial Year Market Cap Rate is defined by the Company as Projected NOI of a single community for the first 12 months of operations (assuming no repositioning), less estimates for non-routine allowance of approximately $300 - $500 per apartment home, divided by the gross sales price for the community. Projected NOI, as referred to above, represents management’s estimate of projected rental revenue minus projected operating expenses before interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation and amortization. For this purpose, management’s projection of operating expenses for the community includes a management fee of 2.5% - 3.5%. The Initial Year Market Cap Rate, which may be determined in a different manner by others, is a measure frequently used in the real estate industry when determining the appropriate purchase price for a property or estimating the value for a property. Buyers may assign different Initial Year Market Cap Rates to different communities when determining the appropriate value because they (i) may project different rates of change in operating expenses and capital expenditure estimates and (ii) may project different rates of change in future rental revenue due to different estimates for changes in rent and occupancy levels. The weighted average Initial Year Market Cap Rate is weighted based on the gross sales price of each community.

Interest Coverage is calculated by the Company as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, net, and preferred dividends, if applicable. Interest Coverage is presented by the Company because it provides rating agencies and investors an additional means of comparing our ability to service debt obligations to that of other companies. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income or loss attributable to the Company before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Attachment 13

A reconciliation of Core EBITDA and a calculation of Interest Coverage for the third quarter of 2015 are as follows (dollars in thousands):





Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	206,142
Interest expense, net	43,234
Income tax expense	39
Depreciation expense	120,184
EBITDA	$	369,599

NOI from discontinued operations and real estate assets sold or held for sale, not classified as discontinued operations	(843		)
Gain on sale of communities	(35,216		)
EBITDA after disposition activity	$	333,540

Joint venture income	(20,554		)
Casualty and impairment loss (gain), net	658
Lost NOI from Edgewater fire	1,738
Gain on extinguishment of debt, net	(18,987		)
Other non-core adjustments (1)	2,886
Core EBITDA	$	299,281

Interest expense, net	$	43,234

Interest Coverage	6.9 times

(1) Refer to the Core FFO definition included in this release.

Market Rents as reported by the Company are based on the current market rates set by the managers of the Company’s communities based on their experience in renting their communities’ apartments and publicly available market data. Trends in market rents for a region as reported by others could vary. Market Rents for a period are based on the average Market Rents during that period and do not reflect any impact for cash concessions.

Net Debt-to-Core EBITDA is calculated by the Company as total debt that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, less consolidated cash and cash in escrow, divided by annualized third quarter 2015 Core EBITDA, as adjusted.





Total debt principal (1)	$	6,288,982
Cash and cash in escrow	(420,445		)
Net debt	$	5,868,537

Core EBITDA	$	299,281

Core EBITDA, annualized	$	1,197,124

Net Debt-to-Core EBITDA	4.9 times

(1) Balance at September 30, 2015 excludes $6,902 of debt discount as reflected in unsecured notes, net, and $24,647 of debt premium as reflected in notes payable, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt premium is primarily related to above market interest rates on debt assumed in connection with the Archstone acquisition.

Attachment 13

NOI is defined by the Company as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excludes corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, investments and investment management expenses, expensed development and other pursuit costs, net interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, general and administrative expense, joint venture income (loss), depreciation expense, impairment loss on land holdings, gain on sale of real estate assets, gain on sale of discontinued operations, income from discontinued operations and NOI from real estate assets held for sale or that have been sold. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to Net Income of operating performance of a community or communities because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of a community, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or groups of assets.

A reconciliation of NOI to Net Income, as well as a breakdown of NOI by operating segment, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Non-Revenue Generating Capex represents capital expenditures that will not directly result in increased revenue or expense savings.

Other Stabilized Communities as of January 1, 2015 are completed consolidated communities that the Company owns, which did not have stabilized operations as of January 1, 2014, but have stabilized occupancy as of January 1, 2015. Other Stabilized Communities as of January 1, 2015 do not include communities that are planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities or that are under contract to be sold.

Projected FFO and Projected Core FFO, as provided within this release in the Company’s outlook, are calculated on a basis consistent with historical FFO and Core FFO, and are therefore considered to be appropriate supplemental measures to projected Net Income from projected operating performance. A reconciliation of the ranges provided for Projected FFO per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015 to the ranges provided for projected EPS (diluted) and corresponding reconciliation of the ranges for Projected FFO per share to the ranges for Core FFO per share are as follows:

Projected NOI, as used within this release for certain Development Communities and in calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate for dispositions, represents management’s estimate, as of the date of this release (or as of the date of the buyer’s valuation in the case of dispositions), of projected stabilized rental revenue minus projected stabilized operating expenses. For Development Communities, Projected NOI is calculated based on the first twelve months of Stabilized Operations following the completion of construction. In calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate, Projected NOI for dispositions is calculated for the first twelve months following the date of the buyer’s valuation. Projected stabilized rental revenue represents management’s estimate of projected gross potential minus projected stabilized economic vacancy and adjusted for projected stabilized concessions plus projected stabilized other rental revenue. Projected stabilized operating expenses do not include interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation or amortization, or any allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. In addition, projected stabilized operating expenses for Development Communities do not include property management fee expense. Projected gross potential for Development Communities and dispositions is based on leased rents for occupied homes and management’s best estimate of rental levels for homes which are currently unleased, as well as those homes which will become available for lease during the twelve month forward period used to develop Projected NOI. The weighted average Projected NOI as a percentage of Total Capital Cost is weighted based on the Company’s share of the Total Capital Cost of each community, based on its percentage ownership.

Management believes that Projected NOI of the Development Communities, on an aggregated weighted average basis, assists investors in understanding management's estimate of the likely impact on operations of the Development Communities when the assets are complete and achieve stabilized occupancy (before allocation of any corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs or interest expense). However, in this release the Company has not given a projection of NOI on a company-wide basis. Given the different dates and fiscal years for which NOI is projected for these communities, the projected allocation of corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs and interest expense to communities under development is complex, impractical to develop, and may not be meaningful. Projected NOI of these communities is not a projection of the Company's overall financial performance or cash flow. There can be no assurance that the communities under development or redevelopment will achieve the Projected NOI as described in this release.

Projected Stabilized Yield (also expressed as “weighted average initial stabilized yield” or words of similar meaning) means Projected NOI as a percentage of Total Capital Cost.

Attachment 13

Redevelopment Communities are communities where the Company owns a majority interest and where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is planned to begin during the current year. Redevelopment is generally considered substantial when capital invested during the reconstruction effort is expected to exceed either $5,000,000 or 10% of the community’s pre-redevelopment basis and is expected to have a material impact on the community’s operations, including occupancy levels and future rental rates.

Rental Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to rental revenue in conformity with GAAP to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical concessions on GAAP-based rental revenue and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. In addition, Rental Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis allows an investor to understand the historical trend in cash concessions.

A reconciliation of rental revenue from Established Communities in conformity with GAAP to Rental Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Stabilized/Restabilized Operations is defined as the earlier of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment.

Total Capital Cost includes all capitalized costs projected to be or actually incurred to develop the respective Development or Redevelopment Community, or Development Right, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, real estate taxes, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, offset by proceeds from the sale of any associated land or improvements, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. For Redevelopment Communities, Total Capital Cost excludes costs incurred prior to the start of redevelopment when indicated. With respect to communities where development or redevelopment was completed in a prior or the current period, Total Capital Cost reflects the actual cost incurred, plus any contingency estimate made by management. Total Capital Cost for communities identified as having joint venture ownership, either during construction or upon construction completion, represents the total projected joint venture contribution amount. For joint ventures not in construction, Total Capital Cost is equal to gross real estate cost.

Unencumbered NOI as calculated by the Company represents NOI generated by real estate assets unencumbered by either outstanding secured debt or land leases (excluding land leases with purchase options that were put in place for governmental incentives or tax abatements) as a percentage of total NOI generated by real estate assets. The Company believes that current and prospective unsecured creditors of the Company view Unencumbered NOI as one indication of the borrowing capacity of the Company. Therefore, when reviewed together with the Company’s Interest Coverage, EBITDA and cash flow from operations, the Company believes that investors and creditors view Unencumbered NOI as a useful supplemental measure for determining the financial flexibility of an entity. A calculation of Unencumbered NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Unleveraged IRR on sold communities refers to the internal rate of return calculated by the Company considering the timing and amounts of (i) total revenue during the period owned by the Company and (ii) the gross sales price net of selling costs, offset by (iii) the undepreciated capital cost of the communities at the time of sale and (iv) total direct operating expenses during the period owned by the Company. Each of the items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The calculation of Unleveraged IRR does not include an adjustment for the Company’s general and administrative expense, interest expense, or corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses. Therefore, Unleveraged IRR is not a substitute for Net Income as a measure of our performance. Management believes that the Unleveraged IRR achieved during the period a community is owned by the Company is useful because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Company’s acquisition, development or redevelopment, management and sale of a community, before the impact of indirect expenses and Company overhead. The Unleveraged IRR achieved on the communities as cited in this release should not be viewed as an indication of the gross value created with respect to other communities owned by the Company, and the Company does not represent that it will achieve similar Unleveraged IRRs upon the disposition of other communities. The weighted average Unleveraged IRR for sold communities is weighted based on all cash flows over the investment period for each respective community, including net sales proceeds.
