Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results

In the third quarter, total revenue increased by $61.5 million YOY, or 18.7 percent, to $391.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store communities and past accretive external growth investments.

“Blended lease rate growth of 13.1 percent in the third quarter drove strong sequential same-store revenue growth of 4.7 percent on a straight-line basis and further builds our foundation of embedded growth in 2023,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Senior Vice President of Operations. “Focusing on rate growth and accepting a higher rate of turnover and slightly lower occupancy reflects our strategy to strengthen our rent roll. Although expenses are pressured by inflation and the typical seasonality of market rents has returned in the fourth quarter thus far, traffic remains high and the financial health of our residents remains strong. This has enabled us to keep occupancy high at 96.7 percent while capturing October blended lease rate growth in the high-single-digits, which remains materially above pre-COVID averages.”

With stronger collections in recent periods, the Company now expects current resident collections to range between 98.2 percent and 98.6 percent in 2022, compared to prior expectations of 98.0 percent to 98.5 percent. For the third quarter 2022, the Company recorded a residential bad debt reserve of $11.7 million, including $0.6 million for the Company’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, a decrease of $1.1 million versus the Company’s bad debt reserve as of the end of the second quarter 2022. This compares to a quarter-end accounts receivable balance of $20.8 million, a decrease of $2.0 million versus the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of the end of the second quarter 2022.

In the table below, the Company has presented YOY Same-Store results by region, with concessions accounted for on both cash and straight-line bases.

The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2022.

Development Activity and Other Projects

During the third quarter, the Company completed construction of The George Apartments, a $68.0 million, 200-home community in King of Prussia, PA, which is adjacent to an existing UDR community.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s development pipeline totaled $531.5 million and was 69.3 percent funded. The Company’s active development pipeline includes five communities, one each in Dublin, CA; Washington, D.C.; and Tampa, FL; and two communities in Addison, TX, for a combined total of 1,340 homes.

Preferred Equity

During the quarter, the third-party developer affiliated with UDR’s $24.6 million preferred equity joint venture investment in 1532 Harrison, a 136-home community in San Francisco, CA, defaulted on the senior construction loan. As a result, the Company purchased the loan from the lender pursuant to a contract entered into with the lender at the time UDR made its initial investment, and initiated foreclosure proceedings. UDR expects to take title to the property in 2023. As a result of the default in September 2022, the Company began consolidating the joint venture.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s investments under its DCP platform, including accrued return, totaled $464.0 million with a weighted average return rate of 9.5 percent, and a weighted average estimated remaining term of 3.9 years.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity

“Our balance sheet remains in a strong position due to available liquidity totaling $1.1 billion, and only 2 percent of total debt scheduled to mature through 2024, after excluding amounts on our commercial paper program,” said Joe Fisher, UDR’s President and Chief Financial Officer. “Third quarter net debt-to-EBITDAre of 6.0x declined more than a full turn versus a year ago, and we continue to expect that year-end net debt-to-EBITDAre and fixed charge coverage should further improve to the mid-5x range.”

Additionally, during the quarter, the Company repurchased 685 thousand shares of its common stock at a weighted average price per share of $41.46 for total consideration of approximately $28.4 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased an additional 507 thousand shares of its common stock at a weighted average price per share of $40.70 for total consideration of approximately $20.6 million.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $1.1 billion of liquidity through a combination of cash, undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, and estimated proceeds of approximately $181.3 million from the potential future settlement of approximately 3.2 million shares subject to previously announced forward equity sale agreements (at an initial forward price per share of approximately $57.57, which is subject to adjustment at settlement to reflect the average federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the term of the applicable forward equity sale agreements). The final date by which shares sold under these agreements must be settled is March 30, 2023. Please see Attachment 14 of the Company’s related quarterly Supplement for additional details on projected capital sources and uses.

The Company’s total indebtedness as of September 30, 2022 was $5.6 billion with no remaining consolidated maturities until 2024, excluding principal amortization and amounts on the Company’s commercial paper program. In the table below, the Company has presented select balance sheet metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the comparable prior year period.


	Quarter Ended September 30
Balance Sheet Metric	3Q 2022	3Q 2021	Change
Weighted Average Interest Rate	3.06%	2.75%	0.31%
Weighted Average Years to Maturity⁽¹⁾	6.7	7.8	(1.1)
Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	5.3x	4.9x	0.4x
Consolidated Debt as a percentage of Total Assets	33.7%	35.8%	(2.1)%
Consolidated Net-Debt-to-EBITDAre	6.0x	7.1x	(1.1)x

(1)

If the Company’s commercial paper balance was refinanced using its line of credit, the weighted average years to maturity would be 7.0 years without extensions and 7.1 years with extensions for 3Q 2022 and 8.1 years with and without extensions for 3Q 2021.

ESG

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company published its fourth annual ESG report, which detailed the Company’s ongoing best-in-class commitment to engaging in socially responsible ESG activities including active engagement with the Science Based Targets initiative to establish how UDR can contribute to a lower-carbon future. Concurrently, the Company announced that it earned a 5 Star designation from GRESB, the highest ESG rating possible. This accomplishment resulted from UDR’s 2022 GRESB survey score of 87 (a one-point improvement versus the prior year survey) and a GRESB Public Disclosure rating of “A”, the fourth consecutive year UDR has achieved such a distinction.

Dividend

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend on its common stock for the third quarter 2022 in the amount of $0.38 per share. The dividend will be paid in cash on October 31, 2022 to UDR common shareholders of record as of October 11, 2022.
