NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021

NOTE 1 • ORGANIZATION

NOTE 2 • BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

~~We conduct~~Centerspace conducts a majority of ~~our~~its business activities through ~~our~~a consolidated operating partnership, Centerspace, LP (f/k/a IRET Properties), a North Dakota limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include ~~our~~the Company’s accounts and the accounts of all ~~our~~its subsidiaries in which ~~we maintain~~it maintains a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect the Operating Partnership’s ownership of ~~certain~~a joint venture ~~entities~~entity in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. ~~These entities are~~This entity is consolidated into ~~our~~the Company’s operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership, income, and expenses.

~~SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES~~

The COVID-19 pandemic is a source of significant risk and uncertainty that could have an adverse impact on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy and financial markets, and multifamily residents and commercial tenants have experienced financial hardship or closures.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021; however, we continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and cannot predict the impact it may have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the future.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~Our~~Centerspace’s interim ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of ~~our~~ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in ~~our~~the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, as filed with the SEC on February ~~22, 2021.~~28, 2022.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restricted cash consisted primarily of real estate deposits and escrows held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and capital additions.

LEASES

As a lessor, weCenterspace primarily ~~lease~~leases multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income represents approximately ~~98.2%~~98.1% of ~~our~~ total revenues and includes gross market rent less adjustments for gain or loss to lease, concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. Other property revenues represent the remaining ~~1.8%~~1.9% of ~~our~~ total revenues and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized when earned, at a point in time.

Table of Contents

Some of ~~our~~the Company’s apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.

Beginning in April 2020, we offered multifamily residents suffering from financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic the option to apply for a rent deferral. We elected to account for these accommodations as enforceable rights and obligations existed without evaluating if such a right or obligation existed under the lease agreement, as allowed by the FASB Q&A released on April 10, 2020 related to lease modification guidance under ASC 842. The accommodations were recognized as variable lease payments. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $57,000 and $99,600 remained outstanding under the rent deferral agreements offered to multifamily residents, respectively.

We also abated rent, common area maintenance, and real estate taxes for commercial tenants that experienced government-mandated interruptions or closures of their businesses. The accommodations were recognized as variable lease payments, as allowed by the FASB Q&A released on April 10, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a reduction in revenue of $47,000 due to the abatement of amounts due from our commercial tenants.

Many of ~~our~~the leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from ~~our~~ residents and common area maintenance from ~~our~~ commercial tenants. ~~We have~~Centerspace has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.

The aggregate amount of future scheduled lease income on ~~our~~ commercial operating leases, excluding any variable lease income and non-lease components, as of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, was as follows:

REVENUES

Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the ~~company~~Company expects to be entitled for those goods and services.

Revenue streams that are included in revenues from contracts with customers include:

•Other property revenue: ~~We recognize~~Centerspace recognizes revenue for rental related income not included as a component of a lease, such as application fees, as earned.

•Gains or losses on sales of real estate: A gain or loss is recognized when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained control of the nonfinancial asset that was sold.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

~~We evaluate our~~The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including investments in real estate, for impairment indicators at least quarterly. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each property, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, ~~we compare~~the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows for the property against the carrying amount of that property. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount. If ~~our~~the anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, ~~our~~the evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to ~~our~~the consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Reducing planned property holding periods may increase the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, we~~the Company recorded 0no impairment charges.

MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

In March 2020, in connection with ~~our~~the acquisition of Ironwood, an apartment community in New Hope, Minnesota, wethe Company acquired a tax increment financing note receivable (“TIF”) with a principal balance of ~~$6.6~~$6.1 million and $6.4 million at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, which appears within other assets in ~~our condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The note bears an interest rate of 4.5% with payments due in February and August of each year.

In December 2019, weCenterspace originated a $29.9 million construction loan and a $15.3 million mezzanine loan for the development of a multifamily ~~development~~community located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ~~In conjunction with~~During the ~~loans, we received a guaranty for the substantial completion of~~three months ended September 30, 2021, construction on the project ~~improvements from an investment grade guarantor.~~was completed and the lease-up phase began. The construction and mezzanine loans ~~bear~~bore and accrued interest at 4.5% and 11.5%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company exercised its option to purchase the apartment community in exchange for the loans and cash. As of March 31, 2022, the loans had no remaining balance. As of December 31, 2021, wethe Company had fully funded the ~~full~~ $29.9 million ~~of the~~ construction loan and ~~$112,000~~$13.4 million of the mezzanine loan, both of which ~~appears~~appear within mortgage loans receivable in ~~our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2020, we had funded $24.7 million of~~ the construction loan. The loans are secured by mortgages and mature on December 31, 2023, and the agreement provides us with an option to purchase the development. The loans represent an investment in an unconsolidated variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (“VIE”) as we do not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance nor do we have significant influence over the entity.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

~~We have~~Centerspace has determined that ~~our~~its Operating Partnership and each of ~~our~~its less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships are VIEs, as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. ~~We are~~The Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on ~~our~~the balance sheet because ~~we have~~the Company has a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and ~~have~~has both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because ~~our~~the Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of ~~our~~the Company’s assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

~~During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we acquired the 47.4% noncontrolling interests in the real estate partnership that owns 71 France for $12.2 million.~~

~~MARKETABLE SECURITIES~~

Marketable securities consisted of equity securities. We report equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). Any unrealized gains or losses are included in interest and other income on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 we had 0 marketable securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had a realized loss of $1.2 million arising from the disposal of such securities which appears in interest and other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 3 • EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of ~~our~~ common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) outstanding during the period. ~~We have~~Centerspace has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under ~~our~~the 2015 Incentive Plan, ~~and~~ Series D Convertible Preferred Units (“Series D preferred units”), and Series E Convertible Preferred Units (“Series E preferred units”), which could have a dilutive effect on ~~our~~the earnings per share upon exercise of the RSUs or ISOs or upon conversion of the Series D or Series E preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D and the Series E preferred units). Other than the issuance of RSUs, ISOs, ~~and~~ Series D preferred units, ~~we have~~and Series E preferred units, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional shares that would result in dilution of earnings. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in ~~our~~Centerspace’s sole discretion, weit may issue common shares in exchange for Units on a 1-for-one basis.

~~Performance-based RSUs of 46,218 and 37,822 for~~For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, performance-based RSUs of 33,000 and ~~2020,~~46,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021 and 2020,~~2022, operating partnership units of 965,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, ~~were excluded from the calculation~~Series E preferred units of ~~diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2020,~~2.2 million, time-based RSUs of ~~19,000~~14,000, and ~~16,000, respectively,~~weighted average stock options of 52,000, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Series D preferred units of 228,000, time-based RSUs of 19,000, and weighted average stock options of ~~43,629~~44,000, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because ~~the assumed proceeds per share plus the average unearned compensation were greater than the average market price of common shares for the periods ended and, therefore~~they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 6 • DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

~~Our~~Centerspace’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage ~~our~~its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, wethe Company primarily ~~use~~uses interest rate swap contracts to fix ~~the~~ variable interest rate ~~on our term loans and a portion of our primary line of credit. The interest rate swap contracts qualify as cash flow hedges.~~debt.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income for ~~our~~the interest rate swaps will be reclassified to interest expense as interest ~~expense is~~payments are incurred on ~~our term loans and~~ the hedged ~~portion of our primary line of credit.~~variable rate debt. During the next twelve months, ~~we estimate~~the Company estimates an additional ~~$4.4 million~~$633,000 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

AtDerivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly to earnings within other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022, the Company recorded a gain of $582,000 related to the interest rate swap not designated in a hedging relationship, prior to its termination.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $3.2 million to terminate its $75.0 million interest rate swap and its $70.0 million forward swap. As of March 31, 2022 the Company had no remaining interest rate swaps.

As of December 31, ~~2020~~2021, weCenterspace had ~~a $50.0 million~~1 interest rate swap contract designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk with a notional amount of $75.0 million to fix the interest rate on ~~a portion of our primary~~the line of credit.

NOTE 7 • FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, ~~we apply~~Centerspace applies FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.” Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions

NOTE 9 • SEGMENT REPORTING

~~We operate~~Centerspace operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of ~~our~~the operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information. ~~Our~~The chief operating decision-makers evaluate each property’s operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance and do not group the properties based on geography, size, or type for this purpose. ~~Our~~The apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to ~~our~~ residents. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, ~~our~~the apartment communities are aggregated into a single reportable segment. “All other” includes non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties and apartment communities ~~we have~~the Company has sold.

~~Our~~The members of the executive management team ~~comprises our~~are the chief operating decision-makers. This team measures the performance of ~~our~~the reportable segment based on net operating income (“NOI”), which ~~we define~~the Company defines as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. ~~We believe~~Centerspace believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

The following tables present NOI for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income in the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~2021~~2022 LTIP Awards

Awards granted to employees on January 1, ~~2021,~~2022, consist of an aggregate of ~~6,410~~5,849 time-based RSU awards, ~~19,224~~13,407 performance RSUs based on total shareholder return (“TSR”), and ~~43,629~~30,002 stock options. The time-based awards vest as to one-third of the shares on each of January 1, ~~2022,~~2023, January 1, ~~2023,~~2024, and January 1, ~~2024.~~2025. The stock options vest as to 25% on each of January 1, ~~2022, January 1,~~ 2023, January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025, and January 1, ~~2025.~~2026. The fair value of stock options was ~~$7.383~~$17.094 per share and was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


	~~2021~~2022
Exercise price	$	~~70.64~~110.90
Risk-free rate	~~0.65~~1.44		%
Expected term	6.25 years
Expected volatility	~~21.08~~21.2		%
Dividend yield	~~3.963~~2.597		%

The TSR performance RSUs are earned based on ~~our~~the Company’s TSR as compared to the FTSE Nareit Apartment Index over a forward looking three-year period. The maximum number of RSUs eligible to be earned is ~~38,448~~26,814 RSUs, which is 200% of the RSUs granted. Earned awards (if any) will fully vest as of the last day of the measurement period. These awards have market conditions in addition to service conditions that must be met for the awards to vest. ~~We recognize compensation~~Compensation expense is recognized ratably based on the grant date fair value, as determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model, regardless of whether the market conditions are achieved and the awards ultimately vest. Therefore, previously recorded compensation expense is not adjusted in the event that the market conditions are not achieved. WeThe Company based the expected volatility on a weighted average of the historical volatility of ~~our~~the Company’s daily closing share price and a select peer average volatility, the risk-free interest rate on the interest rates on U.S. treasury bonds with a maturity equal to the remaining performance period of the award, and the expected term on the performance period of the award. The assumptions used to value the TSR performance RSUs were an expected volatility of ~~20.63%~~22.40%, a risk-free interest rate of ~~0.17%~~0.97%, and an expected life of 3 years. The share price at the grant date, January 1, ~~2021,~~2022, was ~~$70.64~~$110.90 per share.

Awards granted to employees on February 1, 2022, consist of an aggregate of 1,295 time-based RSU awards which vest as to one-third of the RSUs on each of January 1, 2023, January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share-based awards was ~~$810,000~~$719,000 and ~~$465,000~~$810,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Executive Summary

We own, manage, acquire, redevelop, and develop apartment communities. We primarily focus on investing in markets characterized by stable and growing economic conditions, strong employment, and an attractive quality of life that we believe, in combination, lead to higher demand for ~~our~~ apartment homes and retention of ~~our~~ residents. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we owned interests in 6883 apartment communities consisting of ~~12,168~~14,838 apartment homes. Property owned, as presented in ~~the condensed consolidated balance sheets,~~our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was ~~$1.9~~$2.4 billion at March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to ~~$1.8~~$2.3 billion at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Renting apartment homes is our primary source of revenue, and our business objective is to provide great homes for our residents. We strive to maximize resident satisfaction and retention by investing in high-quality assets in desirable locations and

Table of Contents

creating vibrant apartment communities through service-oriented operations. We believe that delivering superior resident

~~Table of Contents~~

experiences will enhance resident satisfaction while also driving profitability for our business and ~~our~~ shareholders. We have paid quarterly distributions continuously since our first distribution in 1971.

COVID-19 ~~Developments~~

The COVID-19 pandemic has ~~had an impact on~~affected our business since March 2020, when it spread to many of the markets in which we own properties. Our first priority continues to be the health and well-being of our residents, team members, and the communities we serve. We enhanced cleaning protocols at our communities and offices, implemented physical distancing in communities common spaces, and instituted remote work guidelines for our team members, all in accordance with state and local guidelines. We are utilizing technology to allow our property teams to interact remotely with prospective residents through virtual leasing. We have provided rent deferrals to residents and rent abatement to commercial tenants who were financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To support our team members working on-site, we have provided additional COVID-19 paid time off and enhanced flextime arrangements.

Certain states and cities, including some of those in which our apartment communities are located, ~~have~~ reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home directives, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, and restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. WeThe availability of vaccines has led many states and cities to lift restrictions; however, due to new variants of the virus, we cannot predict ~~when~~whether restrictions ~~currently in place~~ will ~~expire~~be reinstated or ~~whether~~if additional restrictions will be imposed in the future. We implemented a plan to safely re-open common spaces in ~~several of~~ our communities while adhering to state and local guidelines, but we recognize that an increase in COVID-19 cases in these markets could cause us to close common spaces or take other preventive measures.

~~Financial Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic~~

Many companies, especially in urban areas, have extended directives for employees to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. These extended directives have resulted in decreased traffic to businesses and, in some cases, closures of businesses in urban areas, which has resulted in lower demand and lower rent increases for our five urban based apartment communities. The COVID-19 pandemic and these directives have affected our operations and the conduct of business at our apartment communities and offices, but did not have a material impact on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

Absent the ability to contain or treat the COVID-19 virus, with a corresponding re-opening of the economy, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have adverse financial and economic impacts that include, but are not limited to, the following:

•~~cause our residents or commercial tenants to defer or stop rental payments, and abandon or fail to renew leases, which would reduce our primary source of net operating income and cash flows;~~

•~~cause the capital markets generally to become restricted or unavailable, thereby limiting our access to any needed debt or equity capital financing;~~

•~~impact the business of, or cause the loss of, certain critical third-party suppliers or other service providers;~~

•~~restrict our ability to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis at the current rate;~~

•~~impair the value of our tangible or intangible assets;~~

•~~require us to record loss contingencies and incur additional expenses related to our COVID-19 response; or~~

•cause the U.S. economy to suffer an extended economic slowdown, which could lead to a prolonged recession or even economic depression, which in turn would affect the demand for our apartment communities and could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results.

~~We have taken the following actions in order to protect our residents and employees, manage expenses and preserve cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic:~~

•~~we have reduced planned travel for our team members through 2021;~~

•~~left vacant positions unfilled;~~

•~~used onsite team members to perform work normally contracted to third parties; and~~

•~~we have moved the meetings of our Board of Trustees to virtual meetings, thereby limiting the expense associated with in-person meetings.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Despite our efforts to manage our response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ~~our~~ rental revenue for ~~2021~~2022 and in future years cannot be determined at present. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with residents, commercial tenants, government officials, and business partners and assessing potential impacts to ~~our~~ financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse impacts on our business.

On January 4, 2022, we acquired a portfolio of three apartment communities located in Minneapolis, Minnesota for an aggregate purchase price of $70.3 million. The acquisition was financed through the assumption of $41.6 million in mortgage debt, the issuance of 209,000 Units, and cash.

On January 26, 2022, we acquired Noko Apartments located in Minneapolis, Minnesota for an aggregate purchase price of $46.6 million. We financed the development of Noko Apartments with a construction loan and a mezzanine loan, which were exchanged as partial consideration in the amount of $43.3 million for the acquisition with the remaining in cash.

See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for a table detailing acquisitions and dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, revenue increased by ~~$2.2~~$13.7 million to ~~$46.6~~$60.3 million, compared to ~~$44.4~~$46.6 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, primarily due to same-store and non-same-store ~~communities.~~communities, offset by dispositions. Total expenses increased by ~~$2.6~~$19.2 million to $64.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 ~~compared to $42.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020~~ primarily due to increased property operating expenses, real estate taxes, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative expenses. Funds from Operations (“FFO”) applicable to common shares and Units for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 increased by $5.6 million to $18.5 million compared to $12.9 million ~~compared to $8.7 million~~ for the ~~comparable period~~three months ended March 31, ~~2020,~~2021. This increase was primarily due to ~~a prior year loss of $3.6 million on marketable securities that did not occur in the current year, as well as~~ increased NOI from same-store and non-same-store communities and ~~same-store communities.~~a gain on the mark to market adjustment for an interest rate swap contract, offset by increased property management and general and administrative expenses, and decreased NOI from dispositions. The drivers of these changes are discussed in more detail in the “Results of Operations” section below.

~~In our ongoing efforts to improve the quality of our portfolio and balance sheet, during the first quarter of 2021, we acquired Union Pointe, a 256-home apartment community located in Longmont, Colorado for $76.9 million.~~

(1)Weighted average occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental revenue by scheduled rental revenue. Scheduled rental revenue represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant homes valued at estimated market rents. When calculating actual rents for occupied homes and market rents for vacant homes, delinquencies, and concessions are not taken into account. Market rates are determined using the currently offered effective rates on new leases at the community and are used as the starting point in determination of the market rates of vacant apartment homes. ~~We believe~~Centerspace believes that weighted average occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant unit at its estimated market rate. Weighted average occupancy may not completely reflect short-term trends in physical occupancy, and ~~our~~the calculation of weighted average occupancy may not be comparable to that disclosed by other REITs.

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expenses. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

We have provided certain information on a same-store and non-same-store basis. Same-store apartment communities are owned or in service for the entirety of the periods being compared, and, in the case of newly-constructed properties, have achieved a target level of physical occupancy of 90%. On the first day of each calendar year, we determine the composition of our same-store pool for that year as well as adjust the previous year, which allows us to evaluate full period-over-period operating comparisons for existing apartment communities and their contribution to net income. We believe that measuring performance on a same-store basis is useful to investors because it enables evaluation of how a fixed pool of ~~our~~ communities are performing year-over-year. We use this measure to assess whether or not we have been successful in increasing NOI, raising average rental revenue, renewing the leases on existing residents, controlling operating costs, and making prudent capital improvements. The discussion below focuses on the main factors affecting real estate revenue and expenses from same-store apartment communities because changes from one year to another in real estate revenue and expenses from non-same-store apartment communities are generally due to the addition of those properties to ~~our~~the real estate portfolio, and accordingly provide less useful information for evaluating ongoing operational performance of ~~our~~the real estate portfolio.

For the comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, three~~23 apartment communities were non-same-store. Sold communities are included in “Dispositions,” while “Other” includes non-multifamily properties and the non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations.

We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP financial measures used as a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding ~~our~~ operating performance, primarily because its calculation does not assume the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation.

We use the definition of Funds from Operations FFO adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding:

•depreciation and amortization related to real estate;

•gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets; and

•impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

The exclusion in Nareit’s definition of FFO of impairment write-downs and gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets helps to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the base of ~~our~~ investments, and assists management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods.

Due to limitations of the Nareit FFO definition, we have made certain interpretations in applying this definition. We believe that all such interpretations not specifically provided for in the Nareit definition are consistent with this definition. ~~Nareit's~~Nareit’s FFO White Paper 2018 Restatement clarified that impairment write-downs of land related to a ~~REIT's~~REIT’s main business are excluded from FFO and a REIT has the option to exclude impairment write-downs of assets that are incidental to the main business.

While FFO is widely used by us as a primary performance metric, not all real estate companies use the same definition of FFO or calculate FFO the same way. Accordingly, FFO presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure. FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund all of the our needs, including our ability to service indebtedness or make distributions to shareholders.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is FFO adjusted for non-routine items or items not considered core to business operations. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of core business operations, the company believes that Core FFO provides investors with additional information to compare core operating and financial

performance between periods. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or as any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered an additional supplemental measure. Core FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund all cash needs, including the ability to service indebtedness or make distributions to shareholders. Core FFO is a non-GAAP and non-standardized financial measure that may be calculated differently by other REITs and that should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.

FFO applicable to common shares and Units for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, increased to ~~$12.9~~$18.5 million compared to ~~$8.7~~$12.9 million for the comparable period ended March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, an increase of ~~49.4%~~43.3%. This increase was primarily due to ~~a prior year loss of $3.6 million on marketable securities that did not occur in the current year, as well as~~ increased NOI from same-store and non-same-store communities and ~~same-store communities.~~

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We ~~intend~~strive to maintain a strong balance sheet and preserve ~~our~~ financial flexibility, which we believe should enhance our ability to capitalize on appropriate investment opportunities as they may arise. We intend to ~~maintain our capital structure by continuing~~continue to focus on ~~our~~ core fundamentals, which include generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand and cash flows generated from operations. Other sources include availability under ~~our~~the unsecured lines of credit, proceeds from property dispositions, including restricted cash related to net tax deferred proceeds, offerings of preferred and common shares under ~~our~~the shelf registration statement, including offerings of common shares under ~~our 2019~~the 2021 ATM Program, and long-term unsecured debt and secured mortgages.

Our primary liquidity demands are normally-recurring operating and overhead expenses, debt service and repayments, capital improvements to ~~our~~ communities, distributions to the holders of ~~our~~ preferred shares, common shares, Series D and Series E preferred units, and Units, value-add redevelopment, common and preferred share buybacks and Unit redemptions, and acquisitions of additional communities.

Although we believe that our financial condition and liquidity are sufficient to meet our reasonably anticipated liquidity demands, ~~during 2020,~~ factors that could impact our future liquidity include, but are not limited to, volatility in capital and credit markets, ~~our~~the ability to access capital and credit markets, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential impact

~~Table of Contents~~

on our ability to access the capital and credit markets on reasonable terms (or at all), the minimum REIT dividend requirements, and our ability to complete asset purchases, sales, or developments.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had total liquidity of approximately ~~$79.3~~$223.3 million, which included ~~$68.5~~$210.0 million available on ~~our line~~the lines of credit and ~~$10.8~~$13.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had total liquidity of approximately ~~$97.5~~$211.3 million, which included ~~$97.1~~$180.0 million on ~~our line~~the lines of credit and ~~$392,000~~$31.3 million of cash and cash equivalents.

~~COVID-19-Related Impacts on Liquidity~~Debt

~~We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will continue to be cash~~On September 30, 2021, we amended and ~~cash equivalents on hand, cash flows generated from operations and availability under~~restated our unsecured lines of credit. Although cash flows may be reduced as a result of lower monthly collections of rent as well as the potential for lower occupancy or reduced rental rates during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, we have other available sources of liquidity such as proceeds from property dispositions; offerings of preferred and common shares under our shelf registration statement, including offerings of common shares under our 2019 ATM Program; and long term unsecured term loans and secured mortgages. We have the following contractual obligations over the next twelve months:

•~~$19.6 million debt maturities remaining in 2021 and~~

•~~approximately $15.1 million remaining to fund, primarily over the next 12 months, under a mezzanine loan we originated for the development of a multifamily community in Minneapolis, Minnesota.~~

~~Potential Impact of COVID-19-Related Effects on Continuing Debt Availability~~

Although we are in compliance with our covenants under all of our debt facilities and currently expect to continue to remain in compliance with these covenants, there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with those covenants or be able to access these funds depending on the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the breadth of its impact on the U.S. economy generally and the credit markets in particular. Under the terms of our credit facility, we may be unable to obtain advances under our credit facility if:

•we are unable to make certain representations and warranties, including a certification that, since April 30, 2018, there has been no adverse change in our business, financial condition, operations, performance or properties, taken as a whole, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;

•~~changes in our consolidated property NOI or capitalization rates applicable to the properties in our borrowing base reduce or eliminate availability under our credit facility; or~~

•changes in the nature and composition (including occupancy rate) of the properties in our borrowing base cause these properties to become ineligible to be part of our borrowing base, and if we are not able to replace such properties with other qualifying properties, such ineligibility could reduce or eliminate the availability under our credit facility.

Even if we remain in compliance with the foregoing representations, warranties, and covenants, we may be unable to access the full amount available under our credit facilities if our lenders fail to fund their commitments, which could occur if:

•~~credit market deterioration or overall economic conditions affect the ability of one or more of our lenders to meet their funding commitments under our revolving~~ credit facility. If a lender fails to fund its commitment under the revolving credit facility, that portion of the credit facility will be unavailable if the lender’s commitment is not replaced by a new commitment from an alternate lender;

•distressed market conditions cause our lenders to transfer their commitments to other institutions, which could result in committed funds not being available, particularly if consolidation of the commitments under our credit facility or among its lenders were to occur; or

•~~we are unable to obtain additional letters of credit due to a default by any lender in meeting its funding obligations.~~

As of the date of this filing, we have not experienced any restrictions or limitations on the availability of credit in our markets or with our lenders, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to access the credit markets generally or our credit facility in the future.

~~Debt~~

~~We have an unsecured credit facility~~The amended agreement provides for ~~$395.0 million, with the commitment allocated to~~ a revolving line of credit for $250.0 million, an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million, and extended the ~~remaining $145.0 million allocated between two term loans: a $70.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on January 15, 2024 and a $75.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on August 31,~~maturity date to September 2025.

In January 2021, we amended and expanded our private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) to increase the aggregate amount available for issuance of unsecured senior promissory notes to $225.0 million. Under this agreement, we issued $200.0 million unsecured senior notes with $25.0 million remaining available. In September ~~2019,~~2021, we ~~issued $75.0~~entered into a note purchase agreement for the issuance of $125.0 million of ~~Series A~~senior unsecured promissory notes, ~~due~~of which $25.0 million was under the private shelf agreement with PGIM.

In September ~~13, 2029, bearing~~2021, we entered into a $198.9 million Fannie Mae Credit Facility Agreement (the “FMCF”) for the financing of certain apartment communities. The FMCF is currently secured by mortgages on those apartment communities. The notes are interest-only, have varying maturity dates of 7, 10, and 12 years, and a blended, weighted average interest ~~at a~~ rate of ~~3.84% annually,~~2.78%. As of March 31, 2022 and ~~$50.0 million~~December 31, 2021, the FMCF had a balance of Series B notes due September 30, 2028, bearing interest at a rate of 3.69% annually, under this facility. In January 2021, we issued $50.0 million of Series C notes due June 6, 2030, bearing interest at a rate of 2.70%. An additional $50.0 million remains available under this agreement.

~~We also have a $6.0 million operating line of credit. This operating line of credit~~$198.9 million.

All of our mortgage debt is at fixed rates of interest, with staggered maturities. This decreases the exposure to changes in interest rates, which reduces the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations and cash flows. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the weighted average interest rate on ~~our~~ mortgage debt was ~~3.92%~~3.85%, compared to ~~3.93%~~3.81% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Equity

We ~~have~~had an equity distribution agreement in connection with the 2019 ATM Program through which we ~~may~~could offer and sell common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $150.0 million. We replaced the 2019 ATM Program with the 2021 ATM Program, through which we may offer and sell common shares having an aggregate sales price of up to $250.0 million, in amounts and at times ~~that we determine.~~determined by management. The proceeds from the sale of common shares under the ~~2019~~2021 ATM program are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of ~~future~~ acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we issued ~~164,279~~321,000 common shares under the ~~2019~~2021 ATM program at an average price of ~~$72.19~~$98.89 per share, net of commissions. Total consideration, net of commissions and issuance costs, was ~~$11.9~~$31.7 million. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to ~~$55.3~~$126.6 million remained available under the ~~2019~~2021 ATM Program.

On September 1, 2021, we issued 1.8 million Series E preferred units with a par value of $100 per Series E preferred unit as partial consideration for the acquisition of 17 apartment communities. The Series E preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.875% per year. Each Series E preferred unit is convertible, at the holder's option, into 1.2048 Units. The Series E preferred units have an aggregate liquidation preference of $181.4 million. The holders of the Series E preferred units do not have voting rights.

Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following discussion relates to changes in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash which are presented in ~~our~~the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Part I, Item 1 above.

In addition to cash flow from operations, during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we generated capital from various activities, including:

•Receiving ~~$50.0 million from the issuance of Series C notes under the private placement agreement; and~~

•~~Receiving $11.9~~$31.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of ~~164,279~~321,000 common shares under ~~our 2019~~the 2021 ATM Program.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we used capital for various activities, including:

•Acquiring ~~Union Pointe, a 256-home~~four apartment ~~community located~~communities in ~~Longmont, Colorado,~~Minneapolis, Minnesota for ~~an aggregate~~$9.1 million in cash with the remainder of the purchase price in issuance of ~~$76.9 million;~~

•~~Funding~~Units, assumption of ~~mezzanine~~mortgage debt, and ~~construction loans~~the exchange of ~~$5.4 million;~~mortgages receivable which we financed;

•Repaying ~~$3.4~~$2.2 million of mortgage principal;

Table of Contents

•Repaying $30.0 million on the line of credit;

•Paying $3.2 million for the termination of interest rate swaps; and

•Funding capital improvements for apartment communities of approximately ~~$2.2~~$3.5 million.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Centerspace received $2.0 million of non-refundable deposits and expects to complete the sale of select assets in Rochester, Minnesota on May 24, 2021. The sale consists of 589 apartment homes in six communities with an aggregate sale price of $60.0 million. The proceeds from this disposition are expected to be used to pay down the line of credit and increase liquidity.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Contractual obligations and other commitments were disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments since that report was filed.

Inflation

~~Table~~Our apartment leases generally have terms of ~~Contents~~

one year or less, which means that, in an inflationary environment, we would have the ability, subject to market conditions, to increase rents upon the commencement of new leases or renewal of existing leases to manage the impact of inflation on our business. However, the cost to operate and maintain communities could increase at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Extreme escalation of costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases. We also continue to monitor pressures surrounding supply chain challenges. A worsening of the current environment could contribute to delays in obtaining construction materials for maintenance or value add projects and result in higher than anticipated costs, which could prevent us from obtaining expected returns on value add projects.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements,~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of ~~our~~ critical accounting policies is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC on February ~~22, 2021~~28, 2022 under the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. There have been no other significant changes to the our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

~~Our~~Centerspace’s exposure to market risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on ~~our~~the current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations. ~~We currently use~~The Company used interest rate swaps to offset the impact of interest rate fluctuations on ~~our~~ variable-rate ~~term loans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Centerspace terminated its remaining interest rate swaps, which consisted of a swap with a notional amount of $75.0 million and a forward swap with a notional amount of $70.0 million. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. ~~The interest rate swaps expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the agreements.~~

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by usthe Company in the reports that ~~we file~~it files or ~~submit~~submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has identified no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during ~~that~~the quarter ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of ~~our~~the Company’s operations, ~~we become~~the Company becomes involved in litigation. At this time, ~~we know~~the Company knows of no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which wethe Company or any of ~~our~~its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of ~~our~~the Company’s property is the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There~~Inflation and price volatility in the global economy could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

General inflation in the United States has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades, including rising energy prices, prices for consumer goods, interest rates, wages, and currency volatility. These increases and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events could negatively impact our business by increasing our operating costs and our borrowing costs as well as decreasing the capital available to our residents and prospective residents who wish to rent in our communities. Although we are able to increase rent to combat inflation, the cost to operate and maintain communities could increase faster or at a rate greater than our ability to increase rents, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Other than as described above, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A in ~~our~~ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.
