These communities contain an aggregate of 591 apartment homes and were constructed for an aggregate Total Capital Cost of $314,000,000, or $265,000,000 at share, when including only the Company's interest in AVA North Point, which was developed through a joint venture.

The Company started the construction of two communities:

The Company is exploring a potential for-sale strategy of individual condominium units for the residential portion of one of its Development Communities, 15 West 61st Street. As a result, the Company may commence the sales process for the residential units in the first half of 2019, subject to future market conditions. The Company intends to own and operate the retail portion of the development, which is expected to complete construction during 2019.

The projected Total Capital Cost of Development Rights at September 30, 2018 increased to $3.6 billion from $3.5 billion at June 30, 2018.

Acquisition Activity

In September 2018, the Company acquired Avalon Arundel Crossing, located in Linthicum Heights, MD, containing 310 apartment homes for a purchase price of $83,000,000.

In October 2018, the Company acquired the Alexander Apartments and Lofts, located in West Palm Beach, FL, containing 290 apartment homes for a purchase price of $103,000,000.

Disposition Activity

Consolidated Apartment Communities

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold Avalon Ballston Place, a wholly-owned operating community located in Arlington, VA. Avalon Ballston Place contains 383 apartment homes and 5,000 square feet of retail space and was sold for $169,000,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold five wholly-owned operating communities containing an aggregate of 1,330 apartment homes and 17,000 square feet of retail space; these assets were sold for $476,100,000 and a weighted average Initial Year Market Cap Rate of 4.6%, resulting in a gain in accordance with GAAP of $132,381,000 and an Economic Gain of $60,113,000.

In October 2018, through the date of this release, the Company sold two wholly-owned operating communities, Avalon at Fairway Hills - Fields, located in Columbia, MD, and Avalon Fashion Valley, located in San Diego, CA. Avalon at Fairway Hills - Fields represents a single phase of a three phase community. In the aggregate, the two communities contain 353 apartment homes and were sold for $110,250,000.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Investments

U.S. Fund

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Multifamily Partners AC LP (the "U.S. Fund"), a private discretionary real estate investment vehicle in which the Company holds an equity interest of approximately 28.6%, sold Avalon Kirkland at Carillon containing 131 apartment homes for a sales price of $85,500,000.

AC JV

In October 2018, Multifamily Partners AC JV LP (the "AC JV"), a private discretionary real estate investment vehicle in which the Company holds an equity interest of 20.0%, sold Avalon Woodland Park containing 392 apartment homes for a sales price of $94,250,000.

NYC Joint Venture

As discussed in the Company's press release on October 4, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to contribute five wholly-owned operating communities located in New York, NY, to a newly formed joint venture for estimated net proceeds of approximately $460,000,000. The Company will retain a 20.0% interest in the venture and act as the managing member and property manager for the assets. The five communities contain an aggregate of 1,301 apartment homes and approximately 58,000 square feet of retail space. The transaction is expected to close in December 2018.

The Company will update the composition of its Established Communities portfolio in Q4 2018, with the updated portfolio composition including removing these five communities from the Established Communities portfolio as a result of the planned contribution to the joint venture. The change in the Established Communities portfolio by excluding these five communities will impact the Company’s full year guidance, primarily as it relates to its Established Communities' operating expense and NOI growth. The impact is due to the decrease in land lease expense in 2018 from the Company’s Avalon Morningside Park community, for which the Company purchased the land in December 2017, creating expected full year savings in 2018 land lease expense of approximately $2,300,000. The following table presents the Company’s outlook for full year 2018 Established Communities' operations both as if the five New York joint venture communities are included in the Established Communities portfolio, as well as if they are excluded from this portfolio.




Full Year 2018 Revised Outlook Established Communities Assumptions
	NYC JV Communities Included			NYC JV Communities Excluded
	Low		High	Low		High
Rental revenue change	2.3%	-	2.5%	2.4%	-	2.6%
Operating expense change	2.3%	-	2.7%	3.0%	-	3.4%
NOI change	2.2%	-	2.6%	2.0%	-	2.4%

The Company’s annualized Net Debt-to-Core EBITDAre (as defined in this release) for the third quarter of 2018 was 4.9 times.

The effective interest rate of the notes for the first ten years is 3.97%, including the impact of an interest rate hedge and offering costs, and for the remainder of the term the effective interest rate is 4.39%.

permits and authorizations; expenses may result in communities that we develop or redevelop failing to achieve expected profitability; our assumptions concerning risks relating to our lack of control of joint ventures and our abilities to successfully dispose of certain assets may not be realized; and our assumptions and expectations in our financial outlook may prove to be too optimistic.

(3)

With concessions reflected on a cash basis, rental revenue from Established Communities increased 2.2% from Q3 2017 to Q3 2018. The increase in rental revenue on an accrual basis is greater than the increase on a cash basis from Q3 2017 to Q3 2018 due to a decrease in the amount of concessions being amortized as compared to the prior year period, with the amount of concessions amortized in a calendar quarter typically a function of concessions granted during the preceding 12 month period.

(1)	Established Communities are communities with Stabilized Operations as of January 1, 2017 such that a comparison of year to date 2017 to year to date 2018 is meaningful.


(2)	Reflects the effect of concessions amortized over the average lease term.

(3)

With concessions reflected on a cash basis, rental revenue from Established Communities increased 2.2% between years. The increase in rental revenue on an accrual basis is greater than the increase on a cash basis from YTD 2017 to YTD 2018 due to a decrease in the amount of concessions being amortized as compared to the prior year period, with the amount of concessions amortized in a reporting period typically a function of concessions granted during the preceding 12 month period.


(4)	Represents the change in rental revenue if the Company were to include planned, current and previously completed Redevelopment Communities as part of its Established Communities portfolio.

(1)	Operating expenses for Established Communities exclude indirect costs for off-site corporate-level property management related expenses and other support-related expenses. See Attachment 13 - Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms.


(2)	Property taxes increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year periods primarily due to increased assessments in the Company's East Coast markets and the Pacific Northwest. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year period is also due to successful appeals in the California markets in the prior year period.


(3)	Payroll costs increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year periods primarily due to merit increases in associate compensation, partially offset by decreased benefits costs.


(4)	Repairs and maintenance increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year periods primarily due to increased turnover costs and the timing of various maintenance projects.

(5)

Office operations includes administrative costs, land lease expense, bad debt expense and association and license fees. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the prior year periods are primarily due to decreased land lease expense of $607 and $1,820, respectively, from the purchase of land at Avalon Morningside Park previously subject to a ground lease, as well as decreased bad debt expense.

(6)

Utilities represents aggregate utility costs, net of resident reimbursements. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from the prior year period is primarily due to decreased water and sewer expense, net of resident reimbursements. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year period is primarily due to increased trash removal costs primarily in the Company's West Coast markets, as well as higher rates and consumption for gas in the Company’s Northeast markets, partially offset by decreased water and sewer expense, net of resident reimbursements.

(7)

Insurance costs consist of premiums, expected claims activity and associated reductions from receipt of claims recoveries. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from the prior year period is primarily due to the timing of claims, partially offset by increased property insurance premiums. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the prior year period is primarily due to increased property insurance premiums and deductibles, and the timing of claims. Insurance costs can be variable due to the amounts and timing of estimated and actual claim activity and the related recoveries received.


(8)	Marketing costs decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the prior year periods primarily due to a decrease in call center costs resulting from increased internet based tour scheduling and other initiatives related to centralized lead management.

AvalonBay Communities, Inc.

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

September 30, 2018

(unaudited)

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

Asset Preservation Capex represents capital expenditures that will not directly result in increased revenue or expense savings.

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

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

Debt Covenant Compliance ratios for the Unsecured Line of Credit Covenants show the Company's compliance with selected covenants provided in the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of January 14, 2016 and the Company’s Term Loan Agreement dated February 28, 2017, which have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s SEC reports. The ratios for the Unsecured Senior Notes Covenants show the Company's compliance with selected covenants provided in the Company’s Indenture dated as of January 16, 1998, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 1998, Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 7, 1998, Amended and Restated Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 20, 2000, Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 18, 2006 and Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 21, 2014 (collectively, the “1998 Indenture"), which have been filed as exhibits to the Company’s SEC reports. Different covenants apply to debt securities outstanding under the Company’s Indenture dated as of February 23, 2018, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 26, 2018 and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 29, 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Indenture”), which have been filed as exhibits to the Company's SEC reports.

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

Development Communities are communities that are under construction and for which a certificate or certificates of occupancy for the entire community has not been received. These communities may be partially complete and operating.

Attachment 13

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

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

Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated by the Company as the gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP, less accumulated depreciation through the date of sale and any other non-cash adjustments that may be required under GAAP accounting. Management generally considers Economic Gain (Loss) to be an appropriate supplemental measure to gain (loss) on sale in accordance with GAAP because it helps investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the sold community. The Economic Gain (Loss) for disposed communities is based on their respective final settlement statements. A reconciliation of the aggregate Economic Gain (Loss) to the aggregate gain on sale in accordance with GAAP for the five wholly-owned operating communities disposed during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



TABLE 1
	YTD
	2018
GAAP Gain	$	132,381

Established Communities are consolidated communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful, as these communities were owned and had Stabilized Operations, as defined below, as of the beginning of the respective prior year period. Therefore, for 2018 operating results, Established Communities are consolidated communities that have Stabilized Operations as of January 1, 2017, are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities and are not held for sale or planned for disposition within the current year.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Core EBITDAre are considered by management to be supplemental measures of our financial performance. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income or loss attributable to the Company before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is calculated by the Company in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as EBITDA plus or minus losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property, with adjustments to reflect the Company's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated entities. Core EBITDAre is the Company’s EBITDAre as adjusted for non-core items outlined in the table below. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations, Core EBITDAre can help one compare the core operating and financial performance of the Company between periods. A reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDAre and Core EBITDAre to net income is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1) Includes joint venture interest, taxes, depreciation, gain on dispositions of depreciated real estate and impairment losses, if applicable, included in net income attributable to common stockholders.

FFO and Core FFO are considered by management to be supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. FFO is calculated by the Company in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is calculated by the Company as Net income or loss attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets, write-downs of investments in affiliates which are driven by a decrease in the value of depreciable real estate assets held by the affiliate and depreciation of real estate assets, including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. By excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated operating communities and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating and financial performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Core FFO is the Company's FFO as adjusted for non-core items outlined in the table below. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of our core business operations, Core FFO can help one compare the core operating and financial performance of the Company between periods. A reconciliation of Net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and to Core FFO is as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1) Amounts for 2017 and 2018 are primarily composed of (i) the Company's portion of yield maintenance charges incurred for the early repayment of debt associated with joint venture disposition activity and (ii) the write-off of asset management fee intangibles primarily associated with the disposition of communities in the U.S. Fund.
(2) Represents the Company's promoted interest in Fund II.
(3) Amount for YTD 2017 includes an impairment charge for a land parcel the Company had acquired for development and sold in July 2017.
(4) Amounts for 2018 include $554 in legal settlement proceeds for construction defects at a community acquired as part of the Archstone acquisition. Amount for YTD 2017 includes $19,481 for the Maplewood casualty loss, partially offset by $17,143 of property damage insurance proceeds.
(5) Aggregate impact of (i) Impairment loss on real estate and (ii) Casualty (gain) loss, net on real estate, is a gain of $554 and $612 for Q3 2018 and YTD 2018, respectively, and a loss of $11,688 for YTD 2017 as shown on Attachment 1 - Condensed Consolidated Operating Information.
(6) Amounts for 2017 are composed of business interruption insurance proceeds resulting from the final insurance settlement of the Maplewood casualty loss.
(7) Amounts for 2018 are for the Maplewood casualty loss in Q1 2017, for which the Company recognized $3,495 in business interruption insurance proceeds in Q3 2017. Amounts for 2017 are for a casualty event at Avalon at Edgewater ("Edgewater") in Q1 2015, for which the Company received $20,306 in business interruption insurance proceeds in Q1 2016, and amounts related to the Maplewood casualty loss.

Attachment 13

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

Interest Coverage is calculated by the Company as Core EBITDAre, divided by the sum of interest expense, net, and preferred dividends, if applicable. Interest Coverage is presented by the Company because it provides rating agencies and investors an additional means of comparing our ability to service debt obligations to that of other companies. A calculation of Interest Coverage for the three months ended September 30, 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):



TABLE 4

Core EBITDAre	$	372,911

Interest expense, net	$	54,097

Interest Coverage	6.9 times

Like-Term Effective Rent Change represents the percentage change in effective rent between two leases of the same lease term category for the same apartment. The Company defines effective rent as the contractual rent for an apartment less amortized concessions and discounts. Average Like-Term Effective Rent Change is weighted based on the number of leases meeting the criteria for new move-in and renewal like-term effective rent change. New move-in like-term effective rent change is the change in effective rent between the contractual rent for a resident who moves out of an apartment, and the contractual rent for a resident who moves into the same apartment with the same lease term category. Renewal like-term effective rent change is the change in effective rent between two consecutive leases of the same lease term category for the same resident occupying the same apartment.

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

Net Debt-to-Core EBITDAre is calculated by the Company as total debt that is consolidated for financial reporting purposes, less consolidated cash and cash in escrow, divided by annualized third quarter 2018 Core EBITDAre, as adjusted. A calculation of Net Debt-to-Core EBITDAre is as follows (dollars in thousands):



TABLE 5

Total debt principal (1)	$	7,603,792
Cash and cash in escrow	(281,591		)
Net debt	$	7,322,201

Core EBITDAre	$	372,911

Core EBITDAre, annualized	$	1,491,644

Net Debt-to-Core EBITDAre	4.9 times

(1) Balance at September 30, 2018 excludes $10,293 of debt discount and $35,762 of deferred financing costs as reflected in unsecured notes, net, and $14,618 of debt discount and $9,891 of deferred financing costs as reflected in notes payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Attachment 13

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

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

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

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

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

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

Redevelopment Communities include 14 communities containing 6,242 apartment homes that are currently under active redevelopment as of September 30, 2018, with an expected Total Capital Cost of $313,000,000, of which $147,000,000 is remaining to invest. In addition, during 2017, the Company commenced the reconstruction of the building that was destroyed in the Edgewater casualty loss in 2015. Upon completion, the new Edgewater building is expected to contain 240 apartment homes and be reconstructed for $60,000,000 excluding costs incurred prior to the start of reconstruction. The new Edgewater building's 240 apartment homes are currently excluded from the Company's home count and per home and occupancy metrics in this release, and will be included in the Company's home count upon completion.

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

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

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

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

Unencumbered NOI as calculated by the Company represents NOI generated by real estate assets unencumbered by outstanding secured debt as of September 30, 2018 as a percentage of total NOI generated by real estate assets. The Company believes that current and prospective unsecured creditors of the Company view Unencumbered NOI as one indication of the borrowing capacity of the Company. Therefore, when reviewed together with the Company’s Interest Coverage, EBITDA and cash flow from operations, the Company believes that investors and creditors view Unencumbered NOI as a useful supplemental measure for determining the financial flexibility of an entity. A calculation of Unencumbered NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is as follows (dollars in thousands):
