(Unaudited, $ in thousands, except share and per share data)
4
1. Represents an impairment charge recorded for The Province - Dayton, a wholly-owned property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2016.
2. 50% of the properties’ net cash available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service (including repayment of principal) and capital expenditures. Represents actual cash received
for the year-to-date periods and amounts accrued for the interim periods, which is included in ground/facility leases expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (refer to page 3).
3. Represents losses associated with the early pay-off of mortgage loans for four properties sold during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and nine properties sold during the twelve months
ended December 30, 2016. Such costs are excluded from gains from disposition of real estate reported in accordance with GAAP. However, the company views the losses from early extinguishment
of debt associated with the sales of real estate as an incremental cost of the sale transactions because we extinguished the debt in connection with the consummation of the sale transactions and had
no intent to extinguish the debt absent such transactions. The company believes that adjusting FFOM to exclude these losses more appropriately reflects the results of its operations exclusive of the
impact of our disposition transactions.

1. Includes security costs, shuttle costs, and property-level general and administrative costs as well as an allocation of costs related to corporate management and oversight. Also includes acquisition integration
costs, bad debt, food service, and other miscellaneous expenses.
2. The increase over the prior year is primarily due to additional property tax expense resulting from higher than anticipated property tax assessments in various markets.
3. Represents gross expenses prior to any recoveries from tenants, which are reflected in wholly-owned properties revenues.
4. Includes payroll and related expenses for on-site personnel including general managers, maintenance staff, and leasing staff.
5. Includes general maintenance costs such as interior painting, routine landscaping, pest control, fire protection, snow removal, elevator maintenance, roof and parking lot repairs, and other miscellaneous
building repair costs. Also includes costs related to the annual turn process. The increase over the prior year three month period is primarily attributable to non-routine occurrences at certain properties.
6. Includes costs related to property marketing campaigns associated with our ongoing leasing efforts. The increase over the prior year is primarily related to fourth quarter 2016 marketing activities designed to
drive leasing velocity for the upcoming 2017/2018 academic year.

2017 the interest rate swap expired and the company’s term loan became classified as variable rate debt.

Note: This analysis demonstrates anticipated funding for the developments currently underway or with expected starts in the current year. As future developments commence,
they are expected to be funded via additional dispositions, free cash available for investment, and capital market transactions.
1. Includes development projects under construction, and management’s Estimated Project Cost for future development deliveries that are expected to commence construction during the current
year, as disclosed on page 11.
2. Includes the pre-sale development project disclosed on page 11.
3. Available cash flow is derived from disclosures in our 2015 Form 10-K and is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities of $261.0 million less dividend payments of $178.5 million, less
principal payments on debt of $14.5 million, less recurring capital expenditures of $19.4 million. Calculation results in available cash flow for investment in 2015 of $49.0 million, which is then
annualized over the remaining 12 quarters through the end of 2019.
4. Remaining capital needs are expected to come from a mix of debt, equity, and dispositions, including the proceeds from the sale of one property classified as held for sale as of December 31,
2016, which is anticipated to close in Q2 2017.
5. Refer to definitions outlined on pages 20 and 21 for detailed definitions of terms appearing on this page.
6. Ratios represent the pro forma impact of development deliveries and funding alternatives assumed in the Sources and Uses table. The lower end of the pro forma leverage ranges assumes
remaining capital needs are funded with equity, while the higher end assumes funding with debt. Actual ratios will vary based on the timing of construction funding and ultimate mix of sources from
debt, equity, or dispositions.
7. Refer to page 15 for a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Definitions
ACE The company’s American Campus Equity program, whereby the company enters into long-term ground/facility lease agreements with
Universities to invest our capital and to develop, own, and operate on-campus student housing communities. Properties under this
structure are considered to be wholly-owned and are included in the company's consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted EBITDA* EBITDA, including pro forma adjustments to reflect acquisitions, development deliveries, and dispositions as if such transactions had
occurred on the first day of the 12-month period presented.
Adjusted Interest Expense Interest Expense, including pro forma adjustments to reflect acquisitions, development deliveries, dispositions, debt repayments, and
debt refinancings as if such transactions had occurred on the first day of the 12-month period presented.
Cash Cash and cash equivalents, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.
Cash Interest Expense* Consolidated interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amounts which have been deducted and minus amounts which
have been added for, without duplication: (i) the amortization of mark-to-market premiums/discounts on mortgage loans assumed in
connection with acquisitions; (ii) capitalized interest; and (iii) the change in accrued interest during the period presented.
Design Beds Total beds based on the original property design, generally as specified in the construction documents.
EBITDA* Consolidated net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amounts which have been deducted and minus amounts which have
been added for, without duplication: (i) interest expense; (ii) provision for income taxes; (iii) depreciation, amortization and all other non-
cash items; (iv) provision for gains and losses; (v) noncontrolling interests; and (vi) extraordinary and other non-recurring items, as we
determine in good faith.
Funds from Operations
(”FFO”)
Determined based on the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(“NAREIT”). Calculated as consolidated net income or loss attributable to common shares computed in accordance with GAAP,
excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Also excludes non-cash impairment charges.
FFO Modified
(”FFOM”)
FFO modified to reflect certain adjustments related to the economic performance of our on-campus participating properties, and the
elimination of property acquisition costs, contractual executive separation and retirement charges and other non-cash items, as we
determine in good faith. The company believes it is meaningful to eliminate the FFO generated from the on-campus participating
properties and instead to reflect the company's 50% share of the properties' net cash flow and management and development fees
received, as this measure better reflects the economic benefit derived from the company's involvement in the operation of these
properties.
* These definitions are provided for purposes of calculating the company’s bond covenants and other key ratios.

University/lessor and such lessor receives 50% of net cash flows, as defined, on an annual basis through the term of the lease.
Physical Occupancy Occupied beds, including staff accommodations, divided by Design Beds.
Rentable Beds Design beds less beds used by on-site staff.
Same Store Grouping Wholly-owned properties owned and operating for both of the entire annual periods presented, which are not conducting or planning to
conduct substantial development or redevelopment activities, and are not classified as held for sale as of the current quarter end date.
Secured Debt* The portion of Total Debt that is secured by a mortgage, trust, deed of trust, deed to secure indebtedness, pledge, security interest,
assignment of collateral, or any other security agreement.

subsidiaries, all determined in accordance with GAAP.
