MAA REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

, /PRNewswire/ -- Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or MAA (NYSE: MAA), today announced operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Three months ended March 31, 2025 2024 Earnings per common share - diluted (1) $ 1.54 $ 1.22 Funds from operations (FFO) per Share - diluted (1) $ 2.21 $ 2.41 Core FFO per Share - diluted (1) $ 2.20 $ 2.22 (1) A reconciliation of Net income available for MAA common shareholders to FFO and Core FFO is found later in this release. Brad Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "First quarter Core FFO was slightly ahead of our expectations, after considering certain timing-related events in the quarter. Same Store operating performance exceeded our expectations with strong demand for apartment housing driving high occupancy, reduced delinquency and improved pricing trends. Our Same Store blended lease pricing increased by 160 basis points sequentially, 70 basis points better than last year's sequential trend. With strong occupancy, improved year-over-year exposure, and record low resident turnover, MAA is well positioned for the busy spring and summer leasing season. As the decline in new deliveries in our markets accelerates throughout 2025, we continue to believe our revenue performance momentum will improve. Our balance sheet is well positioned to provide near term flexibility and to capture emerging new growth opportunities." During the first quarter of 2025, MAA's Same Store effective blended lease rate declined 0.5%, slightly ahead of our expectations and consistent with the same period in the prior year. On a sequential basis, Same Store effective blended lease rate growth was driven by a 180 basis point improvement in new lease pricing and a 30 basis point improvement in renewal pricing from the fourth quarter of 2024 and compares favorably to the sequential trend in the prior year of a 70 basis point improvement for new lease pricing and a 20 basis point improvement for renewal pricing. During the first quarter of 2025, MAA's Same Store Portfolio captured strong Average Physical Occupancy of 95.6%, which was 30 basis points higher than the same period in the prior year. As of March 31, 2025, resident turnover in the Same Store Portfolio remained historically low at 41.5% on a trailing twelve month basis with a record low level of move-outs associated with buying single family-homes. As of March 31, 2025, MAA had seven communities under development with total expected costs of $851.5 million. MAA also had four recently completed development communities and three recently acquired communities in lease-up with a total cost to date of $657.3 million.

During the first quarter of 2025, MAA completed the lease-up of MAA Optimist Park, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Disposition ActivityIn March 2025, MAA exited the Columbia, South Carolina market after closing on the disposition of its two multifamily properties totaling 576 apartment units with an average age of 32 years. MAA received combined gross proceeds of approximately $83 million and recognized combined net gains on the sale of depreciable real estate assets of approximately $72 million from the sale of these apartment communities. Balance Sheet and Financing ActivitiesAs of March 31, 2025, MAA had $1.0 billion of combined cash and available capacity under MAALP's unsecured revolving credit facility. MAALP is a reference to MAA's operating partnership, Mid-America Apartments, L.P. Dividends and distributions paid on shares of common stock and noncontrolling interests during the first quarter of 2025 were $181.8 million, as compared to $176.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

(2) Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated for the trailing twelve month period ended March 31, 2025. A reconciliation of Unsecured notes payable and Secured notes payable to Net Debt and a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDAre are found later in this release. 125th Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend DeclaredMAA declared its 125th consecutive quarterly common dividend, which was paid on April 30, 2025 to holders of record on April 15, 2025. The current annual dividend rate is $6.06 per common share. The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on actual cash flows from operations, MAA's financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and other factors as MAA's Board of Directors deems relevant. MAA's Board of Directors may modify the dividend policy from time to time. 2025 Earnings and Same Store Guidance MAA is maintaining its prior 2025 guidance for Earnings per diluted common share, Core FFO per diluted Share, Core AFFO per diluted Share and Same Store performance. MAA expects to provide updates to its 2025 Earnings per diluted common share, Core FFO per diluted Share and Core AFFO per diluted Share guidance on a quarterly basis. FFO, Core FFO and Core AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. Acquisition and disposition activity materially affects depreciation and capital gains or losses, which combined, generally represent the majority of the difference between Net income available for common shareholders and FFO. As discussed in the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures found later in this release, MAA's definition of FFO is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts', or NAREIT's, definition, and Core FFO represents FFO as adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA's core business operations. MAA believes that Core FFO is helpful in understanding operating performance in that Core FFO excludes not only depreciation expense of real estate assets and certain other non-routine items, but it also excludes certain items that by their nature are not comparable over periods and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance. 2025 Guidance Full Year 2025 Earnings: Range Midpoint Earnings per common share - diluted $5.51 to $5.83 $5.67 Core FFO per Share - diluted $8.61 to $8.93 $8.77 Core AFFO per Share - diluted $7.63 to $7.95 $7.79 MAA Same Store Portfolio: Property revenue growth -0.35% to 1.15% 0.40 % Property operating expense growth 2.45% to 3.95% 3.20 % NOI growth -2.15% to -0.15% -1.15 % MAA expects Core FFO for the second quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $2.05 to $2.21 per diluted Share, or $2.13 per diluted Share at the midpoint. The projected difference from Core FFO per diluted Share for the first quarter of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the second quarter of 2025 is summarized below: Core FFO per diluted Share Q1 2025 per diluted Share reported results $ 2.20 Same Store NOI, excluding Property Taxes (1) (0.05) Same Store Property Taxes (2) (0.06) Development, Lease-up and Other Non-Same Store NOI 0.02 Total overhead 0.03 Interest expense and Other non-operating income (expense) (0.01) Q2 2025 per diluted Share guidance midpoint $ 2.13 (1) The sequential quarter-over-quarter change is primarily driven by a projected $0.06 increase in property operating expenses due to normal seasonality in leasing and maintenance related operating expenses, consistent with prior years. (2) The sequential quarter-over-quarter change is related to the impact of the timing of real estate tax litigation settlements that occurred during the first quarter of 2025, of which $0.02 were previously projected to be recognized in the second quarter of 2025. MAA does not forecast Earnings per diluted common share on a quarterly basis as MAA generally cannot predict the timing of forecasted acquisition and disposition activity within a particular quarter (rather than during the course of the full year).
