Eric Bolton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Results for the second quarter were ahead of expectations. New supply delivering into several of our markets continues to be absorbed in a steady manner as the demand for apartment housing remains strong. We continue to believe that we will begin to see a decline in new apartment deliveries over the back half of this year and into 2025. MAA’s uniquely diversified portfolio, supported by a strong operating and resident service platform, offering an appealing apartment product at an affordable price point, continues to provide higher performance and lower volatility through the full apartment cycle.”

Highlights

During the second quarter of 2024, MAA’s Same Store Portfolio produced growth in revenues of 0.7%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, with Average Effective Rent per Unit up 0.5%. During the second quarter of 2024, MAA’s Same Store Portfolio also captured strong Average Physical Occupancy of 95.5%, matching the performance in the same period in the prior year.
During the second quarter of 2024, MAA’s Same Store Portfolio property operating expense increased by 3.7% and MAA's Same Store Portfolio Net Operating Income (NOI) decreased by 1.0%, in each case as compared to the same period in the prior year.
As of June 30, 2024, resident turnover remained historically low at 43.5% on a trailing twelve month basis with a record low level of move-outs associated with buying single family-homes.
During the second quarter of 2024, MAA acquired a newly built 306-unit multifamily apartment community in initial lease-up located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2024, MAA had seven communities under development, representing 2,617 units once complete, with a projected total cost of $866.3 million and an estimated $328.3 million remaining to be funded. During the second quarter of 2024, MAA started construction on a 302-unit multifamily apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina and a 345-unit multifamily apartment community located in Phoenix, Arizona through its pre-purchase development program.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2024, MAA had one recently completed development community and three recently acquired communities in lease-up. One community is expected to stabilize in the third quarter of 2024, one is expected to stabilize in the fourth quarter of 2024, one is expected to stabilize in the first quarter of 2025 and one is expected to stabilize in the second quarter of 2025.
In May 2024, MAA’s operating partnership, Mid-America Apartments, L.P. (referred to as MAALP or the Operating Partnership), issued $400.0 million of 7-year unsecured senior notes at a coupon of 5.300% and an issue price of 99.496%.
MAA’s balance sheet remains strong with a Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 3.7x and $1.0 billion of combined cash and available capacity under MAALP’s unsecured revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2024.

Same Store Portfolio lease pricing for new leases that were effective during the second quarter of 2024 declined 5.1%, representing a 110-basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2024. Renewal lease pricing increased 4.6%, which in turn produced an increase of 0.1% for both new and renewing lease pricing on a blended basis in the second quarter of 2024, representing a 70-basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2024.

Same Store Portfolio lease pricing for both new and renewing leases effective during the six months ended June 30, 2024, on a blended basis, declined 0.2% as compared to the prior lease, driven by a 5.5% decrease for leases to new move-in residents, partially offset by a 4.8% increase for renewing leases.

Brad Hill, President and Chief Investment Officer, said, “We continued to capture positive momentum in July with blended pricing on both new and renewal leasing improving 20-basis points as compared to the preceding second quarter. Through July 29, 2024, new lease pricing for leases effective during July improved 90-basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2024, declining 4.2%, with renewal leases increasing by 4.0%. We are encouraged by continued strong demand across our portfolio as exemplified by our stable July occupancy, lower 60-day exposure and strong traffic and lead volumes.”

Acquisition Activity

In May 2024, MAA acquired a 306-unit multifamily community currently in lease-up and located in Raleigh, North Carolina for approximately $81 million.

 

In April 2024, MAA also closed on the acquisition of a land parcel located in Phoenix, Arizona through its pre-purchase development program. Construction on a 345-unit multifamily apartment community on that land parcel began in June 2024.

Three of the development projects are currently leasing.

During the second quarter of 2024, MAA funded $79.4 million of costs for current and planned projects, including predevelopment activities.

In April 2024, MAA started construction on a 302-unit multifamily apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina on land previously acquired through its pre-purchase development program. The development is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026 with an expected stabilization in the fourth quarter of 2027 and expected total cost of approximately $102 million.

In June 2024, MAA also started construction on the 345-unit multifamily apartment community located in Phoenix, Arizona on the land acquired through its pre-purchase development program discussed above. The development is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026 with an expected stabilization in the fourth quarter of 2027 and expected total cost of approximately $118 million.

In July 2024, MAA agreed to finance a third party's development of a 239-unit multifamily apartment community currently under construction located in Charlotte, North Carolina. This development is expected to deliver first units in the second quarter of 2025, to be completed in the first quarter of 2026 and to reach stabilization in the fourth quarter of 2026 at a total cost of approximately $112 million. MAA has the option to purchase the development once it is stabilized.

MAA expects to begin four to six multifamily development projects over the next 18 to 24 months.

During the second quarter of 2024, MAA continued its property repositioning program to upgrade and reposition the amenity and common areas at select apartment communities for higher and above market rent growth after projects are completed and units are fully repriced. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, MAA spent $1.0 million on this program. MAA expects to begin six projects under this program in the second half of 2024.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activities

As of June 30, 2024, MAA had $1.0 billion of combined cash and available capacity under MAALP’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

Dividends and distributions paid on shares of common stock and noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2024 were $176.3 million, as compared to $167.7 million for the same period in the prior year.

In May 2024, MAALP publicly issued $400 million of unsecured senior notes due February 2032 with a coupon rate of 5.300% per annum, and at an issue price of 99.496%. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2024. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay borrowings on MAALP’s commercial paper program. The notes have an effective interest rate of 5.382%.

122nd Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend Declared

MAA declared its 122nd consecutive quarterly common dividend, which was paid on July 31, 2024 to holders of record on July 15, 2024. The current annual dividend rate is $5.88 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.

2024 Earnings and Same Store Portfolio Guidance

MAA is updating its prior 2024 guidance for Earnings per diluted common share, Core FFO per diluted Share, Core AFFO per diluted Share and Same Store performance. MAA expects to update its 2024 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.

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). Additional details and guidance items are provided in the Supplemental Data to this release.

Our property and casualty insurance programs renewed on July 1, 2024 with a total premium decrease of approximately 1%. Our prior guidance had assumed an increase of approximately 15%.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDAre

For purposes of calculations in this release, Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate, or Adjusted EBITDAre, represents EBITDAre further adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA’s core operations such as adjustments related to the fair value of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, gain or loss on sale of non-depreciable assets, gain or loss on investments, casualty related charges (recoveries), net, gain or loss on debt extinguishment and legal costs, settlements and (recoveries), net. As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers Adjusted EBITDAre to be an important measure of performance from core operations because Adjusted EBITDAre excludes various income and expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. MAA’s computation of Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

Core Adjusted Funds from Operations (Core AFFO)

Core AFFO is composed of Core FFO less recurring capital expenditures. Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back, Core AFFO, when used in this release, represents Core AFFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders. Core AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers Core AFFO to be an important measure of performance from operations because Core AFFO measures the ability to control revenues, expenses and recurring capital expenditures.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO)

Core FFO represents FFO as adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA’s core business operations such as adjustments related to the fair value of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, gain or loss on sale of non-depreciable assets, gain or loss on investments, net of tax, casualty related charges (recoveries), net, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, legal costs, settlements and (recoveries), net, and mark-to-market debt adjustments. Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back, Core FFO, when used in this release, represents Core FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders. While MAA's definition of Core FFO may be similar to others in the industry, MAA’s methodology for calculating Core FFO may differ from that utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. MAA believes that Core FFO is helpful in understanding its core operating performance between periods in that it removes certain items that by their nature are not comparable over periods and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance.

EBITDA

For purposes of calculations in this release, Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is composed of net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes. As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers EBITDA to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDA excludes various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

EBITDAre

For purposes of calculations in this release, Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate, or EBITDAre, is composed of EBITDA further adjusted for the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets and adjustments to reflect MAA’s share of EBITDAre of an unconsolidated affiliate. As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers EBITDAre to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDAre excludes various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. While MAA’s definition of EBITDAre is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies to calculate EBITDAre. EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

Funds Available for Distribution (FAD)

FAD is composed of Core FFO less total capital expenditures, excluding development spending, property acquisitions, capital expenditures relating to significant casualty losses that management expects to be reimbursed by insurance proceeds and corporate related capital expenditures. Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back, FAD, when used in this release, represents FAD attributable to common shareholders and unitholders. FAD should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers FAD to be an important measure of performance from core operations because FAD measures the ability to control revenues, expenses and capital expenditures.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO represents net income available for MAA common shareholders (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gain or loss on disposition of operating properties and asset impairment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and adjustments for joint ventures. Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back, FFO, when used in this release, represents FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders. While MAA’s definition of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. MAA believes that FFO is helpful in understanding operating performance in that FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

Gross Assets

Gross Assets represents Total assets plus Accumulated depreciation. MAA believes that Gross Assets can be used as a helpful tool in evaluating its balance sheet positions. MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

14


 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Continued)

Gross Real Estate Assets

Gross Real Estate Assets represents Real estate assets, net plus Accumulated depreciation, Cash and cash equivalents and 1031(b) exchange proceeds included in Restricted cash. MAA believes that Gross Real Estate Assets can be used as a helpful tool in evaluating its balance sheet positions. MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

Net Debt

Net Debt represents Unsecured notes payable and Secured notes payable less Cash and cash equivalents and 1031(b) exchange proceeds included in Restricted cash. MAA believes Net Debt is a helpful tool in evaluating its debt position.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

Net Operating Income represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties held during the period, regardless of their status as held for sale. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders. MAA believes NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating operating performance because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

Non-Same Store and Other NOI

Non-Same Store and Other NOI represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties classified within the Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio during the period. Non-Same Store and Other NOI includes storm-related expenses related to severe weather events, including hurricanes and winter storms. Non-Same Store and Other NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders. MAA believes Non-Same Store and Other NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating operating performance because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

Same Store NOI

Same Store NOI represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties classified within the Same Store Portfolio during the period. Same Store NOI excludes storm-related expenses related to severe weather events, including hurricanes and winter storms. Same Store NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders. MAA believes Same Store NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating operating performance because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

OTHER KEY DEFINITIONS

Average Effective Rent per Unit

Average Effective Rent per Unit represents the average of gross rent amounts after the effect of leasing concessions for occupied units plus prevalent market rates asked for unoccupied units, divided by the total number of units. Leasing concessions represent discounts to the current market rate. MAA believes average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. It does not represent actual rental revenue collected per unit.

Average Physical Occupancy

Average Physical Occupancy represents the average of the daily physical occupancy for an applicable period.

Development Communities

Communities remain identified as development until certificates of occupancy are obtained for all units under development. Once all units are delivered and available for occupancy, the community moves into the Lease-up Communities portfolio.

Lease-up Communities

New acquisitions acquired during lease-up and newly developed communities remain in the Lease-up Communities portfolio until stabilized. Communities are considered stabilized when achieving 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days.

Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio

Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio includes recently acquired communities, communities in development or lease-up, communities that have been disposed of or identified for disposition, communities that have experienced a significant casualty loss, stabilized communities that do not meet the requirements defined by the Same Store Portfolio, retail properties and commercial properties.

Resident Turnover

Resident turnover represents resident move outs excluding transfers within the Same Store Portfolio as a percentage of expiring leases on a trailing twelve month basis as of the end of the reported quarter.

Same Store Portfolio

MAA reviews its Same Store Portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year, or as significant transactions or events warrant. Communities are generally added into the Same Store Portfolio if they were owned and stabilized at the beginning of the previous year. Communities are considered stabilized when achieving 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days. Communities that have been approved by MAA’s Board of Directors for disposition are excluded from the Same Store Portfolio. Communities that have experienced a significant casualty loss are also excluded from the Same Store Portfolio.
