EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This report combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 of American Campus Communities, Inc. and American Campus Communities Operating Partnership L.P.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 L.P.,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:
companyflowchart3312018a01.jpg companyflowchart3312019.jpg
The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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 June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, ACC owned an approximate 99.3%99.5% 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.

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”).

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 February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), “Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.” ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued an additional Accounting Standards Update clarifying aspects of the new lease accounting standard, which will be effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019. While the Company is still evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, it expects to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets related to ground leases under which it is the lessee.

In addition, the Company does not expect the following accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements:
Accounting Standards Update Effective Date
   
ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement2018-15, “Intangibles - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract” January 1, 20192020

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-CreditInstruments - 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 Update 2016-18 (“Codification.” ASU 2016-18”), “Statement2016-02 outlines principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash”leases.  Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB issued additional ASUs clarifying aspects of the new lease accounting standard, which are effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. These lease-related ASUs are collectively referred to as the “New Leases Standard.”

OnThe Company adopted the New Leases Standard on January 1, 2018,2019, 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 ASU 2016-18. The amendmentsthe 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 two corporate office headquarters leases for which it recorded $278.2 million in this update requireright of use assets (“ROU Assets”), which are included in other assets on the change in restricted cashaccompanying consolidated balance sheet, and $277.5 million of operating lease liabilities. 
Because the Company’s existing leases under which it is a lessee will continue to be reported with cashclassified as operating leases, the timing and cash equivalents when reconciling between beginningpattern 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 ending amounts inmay be classified as finance leases depending on the statements of cash flows. The Company applied the amendments retrospectively to each period presented in the consolidated statements of cash flowsterms of the Company.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the Company reported the change in restricted cash within operating, investing, and financing activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows. As a result of the Company’s adoption of this standard and the retrospective application, cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2017 increased by approximately $28.3 million to reflect the inclusion of the restricted cash balance at the end of the period, net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by approximately $2.2 million, net cash used in investing activities increased by approximately $0.3 million, and net cash provided by financing activities increased by approximately $1.6 million.

Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)”

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 and all related clarifying Accounting Standards Updates associated with ASU 2014-09.  ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers (excluding certain contracts, such as lease contracts) to improve comparability within industries.  ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be paid in exchange for thosetransactions.

goods and services and provide enhanced disclosures, all to provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications. 
The Company adopted the new revenue standard using the modified retrospective approach, and elected to apply the practical expedient to only assess the recognition of revenue for open contracts during the transition period. The effect of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.As Lessor:

Under the new standard there wasNew 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 changelease. Under existing standards, these costs are capitalizable and therefore the New Leases Standard will result 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 required lessors 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 wayreclassification of the Company determinesprovision for uncollectible accounts from operating expenses to revenue. This adjustment is reflected on a prospective basis in the unitaccompanying consolidated statements of accountcomprehensive income, starting in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The adjustments to lease income for its third-party development projects. Under the previous guidance, the Company segmented revenue recognition between the developmentowned properties and construction phases of its contracts, recognizing each using the proportional performance method and the percentage of completion method, respectively. Under the new guidance, the entire development and construction contract representson-campus participating properties were a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services$1.1 million reduction to be satisfied over time,income and a single transaction price$0.8 million addition to be recognized overincome, respectively, for the life ofthree months ended March 31, 2019. 
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 contract using a time-based measure of progress. Any variable consideration included in the transaction price is estimated using the expected value approachcriteria and is only included to the extentdetermined that a significant revenue reversal is not likely to occur. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 resulted in differences in the timing and pattern of transfer for common area maintenance and the related rental revenue recognition for such third-party development and construction management contracts; however,is the change did not have a material impact onsame.

On January 1, 2018, in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2014-09, discussed above, the Company adopted ASU 2017-05. The purpose of this ASU is to eliminate the diversity in practice in accounting for derecognition of a nonfinancial asset and in-substance nonfinancial assets (only when the asset or asset group does not meet the definition of a business or the transaction is not a sale to a customer). The adoption of ASU 2017-05 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements given the simplicity of the Company’s historical disposition transactions.

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 improvements 7-40 years
Leasehold interest - on-campus
 participating properties
 25-34 years (shorter of useful life or respective lease term)
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-7 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 $4.0$2.7 million and $5.7$3.0 million was capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017, respectively, and interest totaling approximately $7.0 million and $10.1 million was capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.2018.

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. The Company believes that thereIn the case of any impairment, the valuation would be based on Level 3 inputs. There were no impairments of the carrying values of itsthe Company's investments in real estate as of June 30, 2018.

The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition ofMarch 31, 2019, other than a business.  If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:

Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or
The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction).

Property acquisitions deemed to qualify as a business are accounted for as business combinations, and the related acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties acquired in business combinations to net tangible and identified intangible assets based$3.2 million impairment charge recorded on their fair values.  Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connectionMarch 31, 2019 concurrent with the acquisition or financingclassification of the respective property, the Company’s own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in the Company’s portfolio, and other market data.  Information obtained about eachone owned property as a result of due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities, is also considered.  The value allocated to land is generally based on the actual purchase price if acquired separately, or market research/comparables if acquired as part of an existing operating property.  The value allocated to building is based on the fair value determined on an “as-if vacant” basis, which is estimated using a replacement cost approach that relies upon assumptions that the Company believes are consistent with current market conditionsheld for similar properties. The value allocated to furniture, fixtures, and equipment is based on an estimate of the fair value of the appliances and fixtures inside the units. The Company has determined these estimates are primarily based upon unobservable inputs and therefore are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Acquisitions of properties that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions.  The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business combinations except that the acquisition consideration (including transaction costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis.  The relative fair values used to allocate the cost of an asset acquisition are determined using the same methodologies and assumptions as those utilized to determine fair value in a business combination.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 propertieshad one property classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 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.

Consolidated VIEs

The Company has investments in various entities that qualify as VIEs for accounting purposes and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and therefore includes the entities in its consolidated financial statements.  These VIEs include the Operating Partnership, six joint ventures that own a total of 1215 operating properties, and three in-process development properties, threetwo properties subject to presale arrangements, and fivesix properties owned under the on-campus participating property structure.  The VIE assets and liabilities consolidated within the Company's assets and liabilities are disclosed at the bottom of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.   

Third-Party Development Services Costs
Pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits, and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects are expensed as incurred, until such time that management believes it is probable that the contract will be executed and/or construction will commence, at which time the Company capitalizes the costs.  Because the Company frequently incurs these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained, the Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations.  As such, management evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis 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.  Such write-offs are included in third-party development and management services expenses (in the case of third-party development projects) or general and administrative expenses (in

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold The Province - Dayton, an owned property located near Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, containing 657 beds for $25.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $24.5 million. The net loss on this disposition totaled approximately $0.6 million. Concurrent with the classification of this property as held for sale in December 2016, the Company reduced the property’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, and recorded an impairment charge of $4.9 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 seven 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. For further discussion refer to Note 7.

The joint venture was determined to be a VIE. As the Company retained control of the properties after the joint venture transaction, it was deemed the primary beneficiary. As such, the Company’s contribution of the properties to the joint venture was recorded at net book value, and the joint venture is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained herein. The joint venture partner’s ownership interest in the joint venture is accounted for as noncontrolling interest. For further discussion refer to Note 9. The difference between the joint venture partner’s cash contribution and its proportional share of the net book value of the properties was recorded in additional paid in capital in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of changes in equity.

11.9. 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 investments and 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. 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 effective portion of changeschange 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. The ineffective portion of changes inearnings within the fair valuesame income statement line item as the earnings effect of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. Ineffectiveness resulting fromhedged transaction.

The following table summarizes the derivative instruments was immaterial for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision such that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Similarly, the Company has agreements with some of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision such that the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness.

10.  Fair Value Disclosures

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and 2017, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value.  In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.  Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
 
In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The OP Unit component of redeemable noncontrolling interests has a redemption feature, and is marked to its redemption value when the redemption value exceeds the original issue price.  The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and is therefore is calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date.  Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, these instruments are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

As discussed in Note 9,7, the redeemable noncontrolling interests related to the joint venture partners in the Core Transaction are marked to their redemption value at each balance sheet date.  The redemption value is based on the fair value of the underlying properties held by the joint ventures.  This analysis 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. The Company has determined these estimates are primarily based upon unobservable inputs and therefore are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. 
 
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Student Contracts Receivable, certain items in Other Assets (including receivables, deposits, and prepaid expenses), Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities:  The Company estimates that the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.
 
Loans Receivable: The fair value of loans receivable is based on a discounted cash flow analysis consisting of scheduled cash flows and discount rate estimates to approximate those that a willing buyer and seller might use. These financial instruments utilize Level 3 inputs.

Mortgage Loans Payable: The fair value of mortgage loans payable is based on the present value of the cash flows at current market interest rates through maturity.  The Company has concluded the fair value of these financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs as the majority of the inputs used to value these instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bonds Payable: The fair value of bonds payable is based on quoted prices in markets that are not active due to the unique characteristics of these financial instruments; as such, the Company has concluded the inputs used to measure fair value fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Unsecured Notes: In calculating the fair value of unsecured notes, interest rate and spread assumptions reflect current creditworthiness and market conditions available for the issuance of unsecured notes with similar terms and remaining maturities. These financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs.

Construction Loans Payable, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, and Unsecured Term Loans: The fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values due to the variable interest rate feature of these instruments.

13.11. 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 50 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 OCPP structure. Under such 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 original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from seven 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 March 31, 2019 was $2.5 million, $2.6 million, and $2.5 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, ROU Assets, which are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, were approximately $280.0 million. 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 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 6.03% as of March 31, 2019. The weighted average remaining lease term of leases with a lease liability as of March 31, 2019 is 58.2 years (excluding extension options).

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 $221.7 million and $201.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and lease income under commercial leases totaled $3.4 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Commitments
 
Construction Contracts: As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, excluding sixtwo properties under construction and subject to presale arrangements which are being funded by construction loans, the Company estimates additional costs to complete ninesix owned development projects under construction to be approximately $200.0$446.1 million.

Joint Ventures: As part of the Core Transaction, the Company entered into two 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, resulting in aperiod. As of March 31, 2019, the remaining funding commitment ofwas approximately $284.6$154.0 million.

Presale Development Projects: The Company has entered into threetwo presale agreements to purchase properties which will be completed in August 2018 and Fall 2019. Total estimated development costs of approximately $149.9$107.3 million include the purchase price and elected upgrades, of which $133.0$87.1 million remains to be funded as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The Company is obligated to purchase the properties as long as the developer meets certain construction completion deadlines and other closing conditions. As a part of the presale agreements, the Company has the option to elect not to purchase the asset, which would result in the Company paying a significant penalty. 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. See Note 97 for further discussion.

The Company expects to fund the commitments mentioned above through a combination of proceeds from cash flows generated from operations, anticipated property dispositions, joint venture activity, and a combination of debt and equity transactions, which may include net proceeds from the ATM Equity Program discussed in Note 8,6, borrowings under the Company’s existing unsecured credit facilities, and accessing the unsecured bond market.

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, L.P. 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 $10.3$15.8 million as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.  As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, management did not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to third-party development projects currently in progress.

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 prior to the completion of projects under construction, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding purchase orders with such parties.    

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 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 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 three 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.

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 March 31, 2019, the Company has deferred approximately $8.2 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.  Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Guarantees: In 2017, as part of the purchase of an undeveloped land parcel, the Company entered into an agreement to construct a commercial retail space within a futureproject under development that will be conveyed back to the seller upon construction completion.  If the construction of the retail space is not completed in accordance with the agreement, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages of $2.1 million. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, management anticipates completing construction of the retail space in accordance with the agreement.

Contingencies
 
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.
 
Letters of Intent:  In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures.  Such letters 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. 

14.13. Segments
 
The Company defines business segments by their distinct customer base and service provided.  The Company has identified four reportable segments: Owned Properties, On-Campus Participating Properties, Development Services, and Property Management Services.  Management evaluates each segment’s performance based on operating income before depreciation, amortization and minority interests.  

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company revised the measure of profit or loss for each segment to include the allocation of costs related to corporate management and oversight and to exclude intercompany management fee revenue. This was due to a presentation change in the information used by the Company’s chief operating decision makers to assess segment and company-wide performance and allocate resources, which was driven by the reorganization of duties within the Company’s executive management team. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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 $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Same Store Properties:  The increase in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to an increase in average rental rates for the 2017/20182018/2019 academic year, partially offset by a decreaseas well as an increase in weighted average occupancy from 91.5%94.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 to 90.1%96.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. Future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2017/20182018/2019 academic year and our ability to obtainachieve appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy levels for the 2018/20192019/2020 academic year at our various properties.
 
The slight increase in operating expenses fromfor our same store properties was primarily due to: (i) an increaseto a decrease in property taxesutilities expenses, which was primarily due to increased property tax assessments in various marketsour continuing efforts to renegotiate expiring cable and increases related to 2016 development deliveriesinternet agreements at lower rates, lower electricity costs from favorable weather patterns, and acquisitionssavings at properties that were assessed at full value for the first time; (ii) an increase in marketing expenses associated with our ongoing leasing efforts; and (iii) other general inflationary factors.have recently undergone LED replacements. We anticipate that operating expenses for our same store property portfolio for 20182019 will increase as compared to 2017, for the reasons discussed above as well as anticipated2018 due to increases in utilitiesproperty taxes, payroll, and payroll expenses.general inflation.

 

New Property Operations: Our new properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 include development properties that completed construction and opened for operations in Fall 2018. These properties are summarized in the table below:

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations
 
Same StoreAs of March 31, 2019, we had six OCPPs containing 5,230 beds. In January 2019, one owned property located at Prairie View A&M University was converted to the OCPP Properties: We had five participatingstructure and is now included in our OCPP portfolio, contributing to the increase in both revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 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. The reclassification 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 $0.8 million benefit and a $0.1 million expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Revenues from these properties containing 5,086 beds which were operatingincreased by $1.0 million, from $10.4 million during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2018, and 2017. Revenues from these properties remained constant at $6.2to $11.4 million during the comparable three month periods, asmonths ended March 31, 2019. In addition to the factors described above, the increase was also due to a slight increase in average rental rates for the 2017/2018 academic year was offset by a decrease in average occupancy from 52.2%95.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 to 52.0%95.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Occupancy at our on-campus participating properties is low during the summer months due to the expiration of the 9-month leases concurrent with the end of the spring semester.March 31, 2019. Operating expenses at these properties decreasedincreased by $0.2$0.6 million, from $3.9$3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, to $3.7$4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to decreases in payroll and utilities expense. Futurethe conversion of one property to the OCPP structure as described above, including related transaction expenses. We anticipate that revenues from these properties for 2019 will increase due to the factors described above. In addition, future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2017/20182018/2019 academic year and our ability to obtain appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy for the 2018/20192019/2020 academic year. We anticipate that operating expenses for our on-campus participatingthese properties for 20182019 will increase slightly, as compared to 2017, as a result2018 due to the conversion of one property to the OCPP structure in January 2019 and general inflation.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue increased by approximately $1.5$2.4 million, from $0.7$0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, to $2.2$3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  TheMarch 31, 2019.  This increase was primarily due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction of the Delaware StateCalhoun Hall project at Drexel University projectduring the three months ended March 31, 2019, which contributed approximately $1.3 million in May 2018.revenue for the quarter. The remainder of the increase is due to an increase in the number of third-party development projects under construction during the current year as compared to the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we had foursix projects in progressunder construction with an average contractual fee of approximately $4.0$3.8 million, as compared to three projects under construction during the three months ended June 30, 2017, in which we had two projects in progressMarch 31, 2018 with an average contractual fee of approximately $1.7$4.5 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. It is possible that projects for which we have deferred pre-development costs will not close and that we will not be reimbursed for such costs. The pre-development costs associated therewith will ordinarily be charged against income for the then-current period. We anticipate that third-party development services revenue to decreasewill increase in 2018,2019 as compared to 2017,2018 due to a decreasean increase in the volume and timing of third-party development projects anticipated to close and commence construction in 2018.2019.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $3.4$0.6 million, from $9.8$6.7 million during three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, to $13.2$7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding $5.8 million in transaction costs incurred in connection with the closing of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture during three months ended June 30, 2018, and a $3.4 million contractual executive separation and retirement charge as a result of the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer during the three months ended June 30, 2017, general and administrative expense increased $1.0 million.March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to 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 increasedecrease in 20182019 as compared to 2017, for2018 due to transaction costs incurred in 2018 related to the reasons discussed above.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 increased by approximately $7.6$4.0 million, from $55.9$64.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, to $63.5$68.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.  This increase was primarily due to the following: (i) a $5.7$5.6 million increase related to the completion of construction and opening of ten owned development properties in August 2017; (ii)Fall 2018, offset by a $3.3 million increase due to property acquisition activity during 2017; and (iii) a $0.4 million increase in corporate depreciation. These increases were partially offset by: (i) a $1.1$1.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to properties sold during three months ended June 30, 2018; and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense at same store properties.2018. We anticipate depreciation and amortization expense will increase in 2018,2019 as compared to 2017, for2018 due to the reasons discussed above, as well ascompletion of owned development projects anticipated to be completed in Fall 2018. These increases will be2018 and Fall 2019, offset by property dispositions completed during 20172018 and anticipated during 2019.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $0.7 million, from $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to ACE development projects that completed construction and opened for operations in Fall 2018. 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, and the conversion of one owned property to the OCPP structure in January 2019.

Provision for Real Estate Impairment

During the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we recorded an impairment losscharge of approximately $15.3$3.2 million for one owned property serving students attending Florida A&M University that is in the processclassified as Held for Sale as of being transferred to the lender in settlement of the property's $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017.March 31, 2019. Refer to Note 72 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.

Other Operating Income

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

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately $8.7$3.4 million, from $14.6$23.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, to $23.3$27.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to the following: (i) a $2.8$3.3 million increase in interest related to the closing of a $200 million term loan in June 2017 and a $300 million term loan in September 2017; (ii) a $3.6 million increase inadditional interest expense related to our $400 million offering of unsecured notesincurred in October 2017; (iii) a $1.7 million decrease in capitalized interest due to the timing and volume of construction activities on our owned development projects during the comparable three month periods; (iv) a $1.1 million increase duecurrent year related to the issuance of $330 million in mortgage debt as part of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture transaction; and (v) a $0.3 million increase in accrued default interest on one of our properties that is in the process of being transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $0.5 million decrease related to the pay-off of mortgage loans during 2017 and 2018; and (ii) a $0.2 million decrease related to the disposition of properties with outstanding debt during 2017 and 2018.
We anticipate interest expense will increase in 2018, as compared to 2017, due to the reasons discussed above, increased interest rates on the company’s variable rate debt, and additional interest incurred from any offerings of unsecured notes anticipated during 2018. These increases will be offset by the pay-off of term loansTransaction which closed in May 2018, and expected pay-off$2.8 million of outstanding mortgage debt

scheduledadditional interest expense due to mature in 2018.

Amortizationthe timing of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased by approximately $1.2 million, from $1.0 millionborrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility during the respective three months ended June 30, 2017 to $2.2month periods. These increases were offset by a $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarilydecrease in term loan interest expense due to $0.9 million of accelerated amortization related to the pay-off of $450 million of term loan debtloans in May 2018. We anticipate amortization of deferred finance costsinterest expense will increase in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to the reason discussed above, and offerings of unsecured notes anticipated during 2018.

Gain (Loss)increased interest rates on a higher average outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility throughout 2019, additional interest incurred from Disposition of Real Estate

During the three months ended June 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we sold one owned property containing 657 beds, resulting in a net loss from disposition of real estate of approximately $0.6 million. Gain or loss from the disposition of real estate for the full year 2018 will be dependent on the volume of anticipated disposition activity.

Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended June 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 included in the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction. Refer Note 4 and Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for additional details.

Same Store Properties:  The increase in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to an increase in average rental rates for the 2017/2018 academic year, partially offset by a decrease in our weighted average occupancy from 94.2%during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 93.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The increase in operating expenses from our same store properties was primarily due to the same factors that contributed to the increase in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as discussed above, as well as an increase in utilities and repairs and maintenance expense incurred during the first quarter 2018 as a result of excessive winter storms.

New Property Operations: Our new properties for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are summarized in the table of new properties contained in the discussion of our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations
Same Store OCPP Properties: We had five participating properties containing 5,086 beds which were operating during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017. Revenues from these properties increased by $0.3 million, from $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of an increase in average rental rates for the 2017/2018 academic years, offset by a decrease in average occupancy from 74.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 73.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Operating expenses at these properties remained constant at $7.2 million for both of the comparable six month periods.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue increased by approximately $1.9 million, from $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  This increase was primarily due to the same factors that contributed to the increase for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as discussed above.


General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3.4 million, from $16.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Excluding $5.8 million in transaction costs incurred in connection with the closing of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2018, and $4.5 million in contractual executive separation and retirement charges incurred in the first and second quarter 2017, general and administrative expense increased $2.1 million. This increase was primarily due to the same factors that contributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $20.0 million, from $108.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $128.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  This increase was primarily due to the following: (i) an $11.4 million increase related to the completion of construction and opening of ten owned development properties in August 2017; (ii) an $8.5 million increase due to property acquisition activity during 2017; (iii) a $0.7 million increase in depreciation expense at our same store properties due to capital improvement projects at various properties; and (iv) a $0.6 million increase in depreciation of corporate assets. These increases were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense related to properties sold in 2017 and 2018.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $0.8 million, from $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to ACE development projects that completed construction and opened for operations in Fall 2017. We anticipate ground/facility leases expense to increase due to ACE development projects that have or will complete construction and open for operations in 2017 and in 2018.

Provision for Real Estate Impairment

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $15.3 million for one owned property currently in receivership that is in the process of being transferred to the lender in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017. Refer to Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a detailed discussion of this transaction.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately $17.7 million, from $29.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense increased as a result of the following: (i) a $6.5 million increase in interest related to the closing of a $200 million term loan in June 2017 and a $300 million term loan in September 2017; (ii) a $7.3 million increase in interest expense related to our $400 million offering of unsecured notes in October 2017; (iii) a $3.1 million decrease in capitalized interest due to the timing and volume of construction activities on our owned development projects during the comparable six month periods; (iv) a $1.1 million increase due to the issuance of $330 million in mortgage debt as part of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture transaction; (v) an $0.8 millionTransaction, and additional interest incurred from any additional unsecured debt anticipated during 2019.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents consolidated joint venture partners’ share of net income, as well as net income allocable to holders of Operating Partnership units. The increase in accrued default interest on one of our properties that is in the process of being transferredthis item as compared to the lender in settlement of the property’s $27.4 million mortgage loan that matured in August 2017; and (vi) a $0.4 million increase in interest expense related to increased borrowings on our revolving credit facility. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $1.0 million decrease related to the pay-off of mortgage loans during 2017 and 2018; and (ii) a $0.2 million decrease related to the disposition of properties with outstanding debt during 2017 and 2018.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased by approximately $1.5 million, from $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase wasprior year is primarily due to $0.6 million in amortization expense related to the closing of $500 million in term loans in 2017 and $0.9 million of accelerated amortization related to the pay-off of $450 million of term loan debt in May 2018.


Gain (Loss) from Disposition of Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold three owned properties containing 1,338 beds, resulting in a net gain from disposition of real estate of approximately $42.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold one owned property containing 657 beds, resulting in a net gain from disposition of real estate of approximately $0.6 million. Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1.
Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the six months ended June 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 included in the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction. Refer Note 4 and Note 7Transaction in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for additional details.May 2018.

Income Tax Provision

Income tax provision increased by approximately $1.9 million, from $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to state income tax due to a tax gain related to the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Balances and Cash Flows
 
As of June 30, 2018, excluding our on-campus participating properties,March 31, 2019, we had $70.2$79.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as compared to $49.9$106.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2017.2018.  Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow accounts held by lenders, and 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.
 
Operating Activities: For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $169.5$80.6 million, as compared to approximately $130.8$108.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017, an increaseMarch 31, 2018, a decrease of $38.7$27.5 million.  This increasedecrease in cash flows was primarily due to the timing of property tax payments for owned properties as well asand the sale of three properties in 2018. This decrease was partially offset by operating cash flows provided byfrom the completion of construction and opening of tensix owned development properties and four presale developments in the third quarter of 2017August 2018, and property acquisitionsan increase in 2017.operating results for same store properties.

Investing Activities:  Investing activities utilized totaled approximately $44.4$116.9 million and $431.6$136.7 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.  The $387.2$19.8 million decrease in cash utilized in investing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $217.8an $18.1 million increase in proceeds from property dispositions related to the sale of a three property portfolio during the current quarter; (ii) a $158.0 million decrease in cash paid to acquire operating and under development properties; (iii) a $17.0 million decrease in cash paid to acquire undeveloped land parcels; (iv) a $6.2 million decrease in cash used to fund capital expenditures at our owned properties; and (v) a $1.6 million decrease in cash used to fund corporate capital expenditures. These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $12.6 million increase in cash used to fund the construction of our owned development properties, related to the timing of construction commencement and completion of our owned development pipeline; and (ii) a $0.7$1.5 million increasedecrease in cash used to fund capital expenditures at our owned and on-campus participating properties.

Financing Activities: For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, net cash used inprovided by financing activities totaled approximately $102.6$9.6 million as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $307.6$47.8 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The $410.2$38.2 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $450.0 million increase in cash used to pay down the Company’s $300 million and $150 million unsecured term loans due to mature in September 2018 and March 2021, respectively; (ii) a $200.0 million decrease in proceeds from unsecured term loans; (iii) a $187.4 million decrease in net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our ATM Equity Program related to activity in 2017; (iv) a $151.1 million increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests primarily as a result of the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction; (v) a $119.3$20.3 million decrease in net proceeds on our revolving credit facility; (ii) an $18.8 million decrease in proceeds from construction loans; (iii) a $3.5 million increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests; (iv) a $3.0 million increase in distributions to common and restricted stockholders; (v) a $1.9 million increase in payments of debt issuance costs; and (vi) a $58.6$1.1 million increase in taxes paid on net share settlements. These decreases were partially offset by a $10.4 million decrease in cash used to pay off mortgage and construction debt, including defeasance costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2018; and (vii) an $8.0 million increase in distributions to common and restricted stockholders. These decreases were partially offset by the following: (i) $366.2 million increase in contributions from noncontrolling interests primarily due to the ACC / Allianz Joint Venture Transaction (refer to Note 4 in the accompany Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1); (ii) $330.0 million in proceeds from mortgagedebt.

debt issued by the previously mentioned ACC / Allianz joint venture; (iii) $60.5 million in proceeds from construction loans; (iv) a $5.2 million decrease in payments of debt issuance costs due to the amendment of our credit agreement in January 2017; and (v) a $1.5 million decrease in taxes paid on net share settlements.

Liquidity Needs, Sources and Uses of Capital
 
As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, our short-term liquidity needs included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) anticipated distribution payments to our common and restricted stockholders totaling approximately $253.1$259.9 million based on an assumed annual cash distribution of $1.84$1.88 per share and the number of our shares outstanding as of June 30, 2018;March 31, 2019; (ii) anticipated distribution payments to our Operating Partnership unitholders totaling approximately $1.9$1.2 million based on an assumed annual distribution of $1.84$1.88 per common unit 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 June 30, 2018;March 31, 2019; (iii) the pay-off of approximately $95.6 million of outstanding fixed rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature during the next 12 months; (iv) estimated development costs over the next 12 months totaling approximately $198.4$315.7 million for our owned properties currently under construction; (v) a $42.2(iv) an $87.1 million obligation to purchase a propertytwo properties subject to a presale arrangementarrangements (see Note 1312 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 $154.0 million (see Note 12 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1); (vi) an obligation to increase our investment in the Core Joint Ventures, resulting in a funding commitment of approximately $130.6 million (see Note 13 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1); (vii) funds for other development projects scheduled to commence construction during the next 12 months; and (viii)(vii) potential future property or land acquisitions, including mezzanine financed developments.
 
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements by: (i) borrowing under our existing revolving credit facility; (ii) accessing the unsecured bond market; (iii) exercising debt extension options to the extent they are available; (iv) issuing securities, including common stock, under our ATM Equity Program discussed more fully in Note 86 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, or otherwise; (v) potentially disposing of properties and/or entering into joint venture arrangements, depending on market conditions; and (vi) utilizing current cash on hand and net cash provided by operations. 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.

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 AugustMay 1, 2018,2019, our Board of Directors declared a distribution per share of $0.46,$0.47, which will be paid on AugustMay 24, 20182019 to all common stockholders of record as of AugustMay 13, 2018.2019.  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.
 

Indebtedness
 
The amounts below exclude net unamortized debt premiums and discounts related to mortgage loans assumed in connection with property acquisitions, original issue discounts (“OID”s), and deferred financing costs (see Note 75 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1).

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 March 1995December 2018 White Paper, (as subsequently amended), 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.

(2)4.RepresentsIncludes a $0.3 million transaction costs incurred in connection with the closing of a real estate joint venture transaction in May 2018, whereby a 45% noncontrolling interest in seven properties was sold to a joint venture partner. Management believes that adjusting FFOM to exclude these expenses more appropriately reflects the results of the company's operations exclusive of the impact of real estate transactions. Amounts of $0.2 million, $5.8 million, and $1.8 million are included owned properties operating expenses, general and administrative expense, and income tax provision, respectively, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

(3)Represents losses associated with the early extinguishment of mortgage loans due to real estate disposition transactions, including the sale of partial ownership interests in properties. Such costs are excluded from gains from disposition of real estate reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management views these losses as an incremental cost of the transactions because the debt was extinguished in connection with the consummation of the transactions and the company had no intent to extinguish the debt absent the transactions. Management believes that adjusting FFOM to exclude these losses more appropriately reflects the results of the company's operations exclusive of the impact of real estate transactions.

As the property is managed by a third party and the lender receives all cash flow from the property, management believes that excluding the FFO from the property more appropriately reflects the results of the company's operations. FFOM for the prior year comparable periodsperiod has been adjusted to reflect this elimination, which did not result in any changes to per-share FFOM amounts reported in previous periods.
(6)Represents contractual executive separation and retirement charges incurred in the first and second quarter of 2017 with regard to the retirement of the company's former Chief Financial Officer.elimination.

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 our 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 majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates.  Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our revolving credit facilities and variable rate construction loans and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows.  No material changes have occurred in relation to market risk since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
