MAA REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
GERMANTOWN, Tenn., July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or MAA (NYSE: MAA), today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,2025 2024 2025 2024Earnings per common share - diluted (1)$ 0.92 $ 0.86 $ 2.46 $ 2.09 Funds from operations (FFO) per Share - diluted (1)$ 2.19 $ 2.06 $ 4.39 $ 4.47 Core FFO per Share - diluted (1)$ 2.15 $ 2.22 $ 4.35 $ 4.44(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, "Second quarter Core FFO results exceeded our expectations. Despite increased macroeconomic uncertainty, we are encouraged by the record demand for rental housing that persists in our markets, leading to second quarter blended lease performance 40 bps higher than last year. Our uniquely diversified portfolio, backed by a strong operating and resident service platform, delivered record resident retention and robust renewal pricing, resulting in strong occupancy and a 100 bps sequential improvement in Same Store blended pricing. As we move further from the peak level of supply reached in 2024, the strengthening demand/supply dynamic coupled with our growing development pipeline, which is nearing $1 billion, should support robust revenue and earnings performance and enhance long-term value creation." During the second quarter of 2025, MAA's Same Store effective blended lease rate growth was 0.5%. On a sequential basis, the 100 basis point improvement in Same Store effective blended lease rate growth was driven by a 150 basis point improvement in new lease pricing and a 20 basis point improvement in renewal pricing from the first quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, resident turnover in the Same Store Portfolio remained historically low at 41.0% with a record low level of move-outs associated with buying single family-homes of 11.0%. During the second quarter of 2025, MAA began construction on a 336-unit multifamily apartment community located in Charleston, South Carolina. As of June 30, 2025, MAA had eight communities under development with total expected costs of $942.5 million. MAA also had four recently completed development communities and two recently acquired communities in lease-up with a total cost to date of $573.9 million.

In June 2025, MAA closed on the acquisition of a land parcel located in Charleston, South Carolina through our pre-purchase development program and began construction on a 336-unit multifamily apartment community. During the second quarter of 2025, MAA funded approximately $92 million of costs for current and planned development projects, including predevelopment activities. A summary of the total units, physical occupancy and cost of MAA's lease-up communities as of the end of the second quarter of 2025 is set forth below (dollars in thousands): Total As of June 30, 2025Lease-Up Total Physical CostsProjects (1) Units Occupancy to Date 62,10180.7 %$ 573,896 (1) Three of the lease-up projects are expected to stabilize in the third quarter of 2025, two in the fourth quarter of 2025 and one in the second quarter of 2026. During the second quarter of 2025, MAA completed the lease-up of MAA Boggy Creek, located in Orlando, Florida. Balance Sheet and Financing Activities As of June 30, 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 second quarter of 2025 were $181.8 million, as compared to $176.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Balance sheet highlights as of June 30, 2025 are summarized below (dollars in billions): Total debt to adjusted total assets (1)Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDAre (2)Total debt outstanding Average effective interest rateFixed rate debt as a % of total debtTotal debt average years to maturity28.9 %4.0x$ 5.0 3.8 %93.8 % 6.7 (1) As defined in the covenants for the bonds issued by MAALP. (2) Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated for the trailing twelve month period ended June 30, 2025. A reconciliation of Unsecured notes payable, net and Secured notes payable, net to Net Debt and a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDAre are found later in this release. 126th Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend Declared MAA declared its 126th consecutive quarterly common dividend, which will be paid on July 31, 2025 to holders of record on July 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 updating 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 GuidancePrevious RangePrevious Midpoint Revised RangeRevised Midpoint Earnings:Full Year 2025Full Year 2025 Full Year 2025Full Year 2025 Earnings per common share - diluted$5.51 to $5.83$5.67 $5.25 to $5.49$5.37 Core FFO per Share - diluted$8.61 to $8.93$8.77 $8.65 to $8.89$8.77 Core AFFO per Share - diluted$7.63 to $7.95$7.79 $7.67 to $7.91$7.79 MAA Same Store Portfolio:Property revenue growth-0.35% to 1.15%0.40 % -0.20% to 0.40%0.10 % Property operating expense growth2.45% to 3.95%3.20 % 1.75% to 2.75%2.25 % NOI growth-2.15% to -0.15%-1.15 % -1.90% to -0.40%-1.15 % MAA expects Core FFO for the third quarter of 2025 to be in the range of $2.08 to $2.24 per diluted Share, or $2.16 per diluted Share at the midpoint. The projected difference from Core FFO per diluted Share for the second quarter of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the third quarter of 2025 is summarized below: Core FFO per diluted ShareQ2 2025 per diluted Share reported results$ 2.15Same Store NOI 0.02Development, Lease-up and Other Non-Same Store NOI 0.01Total overhead (0.01)Interest expense and Other non-operating income (expense) (0.01)Q3 2025 per diluted Share guidance midpoint$ 2.16MAA 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).

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.

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.

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, asset impairment and gain on consolidation of third-party development, 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.

MAA believes that Gross Assets can be used as a helpful tool in evaluating its balance sheet positions.

Net Debt Net Debt represents Unsecured notes payable,net and Secured notes payable,net less Cash and cash equivalents and 1031(b) exchange proceeds included in Restricted cash.

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.

Communities that have been approved by MAA's Board of Directors for disposition are excluded from the Same Store Portfolio.

FICO raises full-year profit forecast amid robust demand for its products
(Reuters) -Credit scoring giant Fair Isaac Corporation, widely known as FICO, raised its forecast for full-year adjusted profit on Wednesday, reflecting robust demand for its products. The company now expects $718 million, or $29.15 per share, in adjusted profit for 2025, compared to its previous forecast of $712 million, or $28.58 per share. Shares of the Bozeman, Montana-based company rose 1.5% in extended trading. FICO also reported a jump in third-quarter profit, buoyed by strong performance in its scoring business. While the broader lending environment has remained muted in recent years, FICO has benefited from strong pricing power given its dominant position in mortgage scores. The company is best known for its FICO score, the standard measure of consumer credit risk used by banks, credit card issuers, mortgage lenders and auto loan providers. Scores revenue, which includes its business-to-business and business-to-consumer scoring solutions, jumped 34% to $324.3 million in the third quarter. Software revenue rose 3% to $212.1 million in the quarter. FICO's total revenue jumped 20% to $536.4 million from a year earlier. FICO's adjusted profit for the quarter totaled $210.6 million, or $8.57 per share, compared with $156.4 million, or $6.25 per share, a year earlier. Investor sentiment around the company has weakened this year after coming under fire from Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte over FICO pricing. Earlier this month, the FHFA also allowed the use of VantageScore for mortgages sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The move introduces direct competition to FICO in the mortgage market and has raised concerns about its ability to continue raising its pricing. VantageScore, founded in 2006, is a joint venture between credit bureaus Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. FICO stock has plunged 23.3% so far this year, underperforming the benchmark S&P 500 index.
