Insights

Market Research Analyst

The latest financial results from UDR, Inc. indicate several key performance indicators that are essential to understanding the company's market position and future prospects. The reported year-over-year (YOY) increase in Net Income per diluted share of 415% for the full year is a significant metric that signals strong growth and operational efficiency. Additionally, the Funds from Operations (FFO), a critical measure for real estate investment trusts (REITs) that indicates cash flow from operations, saw an 11% increase for the full year, which is above industry norms and suggests healthy underlying property performance.

Another notable aspect is the Same-Store (SS) Net Operating Income (NOI) growth of 6.8% for the full year, which outpaces the revenue growth of 6.2%. This differential implies effective cost management and could be a result of operational initiatives or economies of scale. The acquisition and disposition activities, such as the purchase of One Upland and the sale of The Arbory, highlight strategic asset turnover that can optimize the portfolio mix and potentially enhance long-term shareholder value.

Financial Analyst

UDR's announcement of a dividend increase to $1.70 per share annualized suggests confidence in the company's ability to generate and sustain cash flow, which is likely to be well-received by income-focused investors. However, the modest 1.2% increase may also reflect a cautious stance in light of potential headwinds, such as the anticipated muted market rent growth and elevated supply deliveries in 2024 mentioned by the CEO.

The balance sheet strength is evident from the low percentage of debt maturing through 2025 and substantial liquidity, which provides the company with financial flexibility in uncertain economic times. The capital markets activity, including joint venture transactions, demonstrates UDR's ability to leverage its investment grade balance sheet to pursue growth opportunities without overextending its leverage profile, as indicated by the stable Consolidated Net Debt-to-EBITDAre ratio of 5.6x.

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Specialist

Understanding the real estate market dynamics is crucial for REIT performance and UDR's focus on maintaining high occupancy rates, managing resident turnover and adjusting concessions is a testament to their operational acumen. The company's strategic investments, such as the preferred equity joint venture in Oakland, CA, despite the non-cash investment loss recorded, could offer long-term benefits by expanding their footprint in key markets.

Furthermore, UDR's commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, as evidenced by their GRESB score and inclusion in Newsweek's list of America's Most Responsible Companies, may enhance their reputation and appeal to a growing segment of socially-conscious investors. These ESG efforts, coupled with the company's operational strategies, could contribute to a resilient full-cycle investment profile that can weather market fluctuations.

• During the fourth quarter, the Company,
  • Acquired One Upland, a 262-home apartment community in suburban Boston, MA, for $114.3 million (or $58.3 million at UDR’s 51 percent share) through its joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management.
  • Sold The Arbory, a 276-home apartment community in Portland, OR, for gross proceeds of $78.6 million.
  • Entered into an agreement to sell Crescent Falls Church, a 214-home apartment community in Metropolitan Washington, D.C., for gross proceeds of $100.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.
  • Agreed to accept the third-party developer’s equity interest affiliated with UDR’s $45.2 million preferred equity joint venture investment in a 173-home apartment community located in Oakland, CA. As a result of the agreement, the Company began consolidating the joint venture in December 2023 and recorded a non-cash investment loss of $24.3 million, or approximately $0.07 of net income per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2023. The transfer closed in January 2024 and the Company rebranded the community as the Residences at Lake Merritt.
  • Achieved stabilized occupancy at The MO, a $145.0 million, 300-home apartment community developed in Washington, D.C.
  • Published its fifth annual ESG report and concurrently announced that it earned the Regional Sector Leader designation from GRESB. Additionally, the Company was named to Newsweek’s annual list of America’s Most Responsible Companies for the third consecutive year.

“2023 was another solid year with 6 percent FFOA per share growth,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “The long-term fundamental outlook for the Multifamily sector is positive due to continued employment gains, a high propensity to rent, and attractive relative affordability versus other forms of housing. However, elevated new supply deliveries in 2024 suggest near-term market rent growth will be more muted compared to long-term averages. Nonetheless, UDR is a full-cycle investment with a history of relative outperformance through volatile economic periods due to our strong operating and capital markets acumen, innovative culture, and investment grade balance sheet.”

Non-GAAP financial measures and other terms, as used in this earnings release, are defined and further explained on Attachments 14(A) through 14(D), “Definitions and Reconciliations,” of the Company’s related quarterly Supplement.

Fourth Quarter 2023 and January 2024 Results

In the fourth quarter, total revenue increased by $13.6 million YOY, or 3.4 percent, to $413.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store communities and growth from past accretive external investments.

“We ended 2023 with positive trends across occupancy, resident turnover, and concessions. For January 2024, same-store occupancy remained high at greater than 97 percent, new lease rate growth improved versus December, and resident turnover was lower YOY for the ninth consecutive month,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Senior Vice President of Operations. “While elevated supply is expected to result in reduced pricing power throughout 2024 versus historical averages, resident financial health remains resilient, relative affordability favors apartments, and we continue to drive incremental income from our innovative operating initiatives.”

In the tables below, the Company has presented YOY, sequential, and year-to-date (“YTD”) Same-Store results by region, with concessions accounted for on both cash and straight-line bases.

Transactional Activity

During the quarter, the Company,

• Acquired One Upland, a 262-home apartment community located in suburban Boston, MA, for $114.3 million ($58.3 million at UDR’s 51 percent share), or $436,000 per apartment home, and placed $45.7 million of debt on the property, through its joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, UDR will earn acquisition, financing, asset management, property management, and construction management fees, and will receive a promote if certain return thresholds are achieved. The eight-year-old community is proximate to wholly owned UDR communities, which the Company expects should drive additional operating efficiencies through the implementation of its Platform and other operating initiatives.
• Sold The Arbory, a 276-home apartment community in Portland, OR, for total gross proceeds of $78.6 million, or $285,000 per apartment home. At the time of sale, the 5-year-old community had a weighted average monthly revenue per occupied home of $2,157 and physical occupancy of 95.9 percent.
• Entered into an agreement to sell Crescent Falls Church, a 214-home apartment community with approximately 6,400 square feet of retail space in Metropolitan Washington, D.C., for gross proceeds of $100.0 million.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity

“Strong liquidity, our ability to source capital through joint venture transactions, and minimal committed forward funding obligations position UDR well to opportunistically utilize our investment grade balance sheet to enhance stakeholder returns,” said Joe Fisher, UDR’s President and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company’s total indebtedness as of December 31, 2023 was $5.8 billion with only $332 million, or 5.7 percent of total consolidated debt, maturing through 2025, including principal amortization and excluding amounts on the Company’s commercial paper program. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $965.3 million of liquidity through a combination of cash and undrawn capacity on its credit facilities. Please see Attachment 13 of the Company’s related quarterly Supplement for additional details on projected capital sources and uses.

In the table below, the Company has presented select balance sheet metrics for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and the comparable prior year period.

Acquired Communities: The Company defines Acquired Communities as those communities acquired by the Company, other than development and redevelopment activity, that did not achieve stabilization as of the most recent quarter.

Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") attributable to common stockholders and unitholders: The Company defines AFFO as FFO as Adjusted attributable to common stockholders and unitholders less recurring capital expenditures on consolidated communities that are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain functionality at our communities.

Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company's operational performance than FFO or FFO as Adjusted. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating performance. The Company believes that net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting AFFO enables investors to assess our performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not always be comparable to AFFO calculated by other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. A reconciliation from net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders to AFFO is provided on Attachment 2.

Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items: The Company defines Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items as Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items divided by total consolidated interest, excluding the impact of costs associated with debt extinguishment, plus preferred dividends.

Management considers Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items a useful metric for investors as it provides ratings agencies, investors and lenders with a widely-used measure of the Company’s ability to service its consolidated debt obligations as well as compare leverage against that of its peer REITs. A reconciliation of the components that comprise Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items is provided on Attachment 4(C) of the Company's quarterly supplemental disclosure.

Consolidated Net Debt-to-EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items: The Company defines Consolidated Net Debt-to-EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items as total consolidated debt net of cash and cash equivalents divided by annualized Consolidated EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items. Consolidated EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items is defined as EBITDAre excluding the impact of income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities, adjustments to reflect the Company’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures and other non-recurring items including, but not limited to casualty-related charges/(recoveries), net of wholly owned communities.

Management considers Consolidated Net Debt-to-EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items a useful metric for investors as it provides ratings agencies, investors and lenders with a widely-used measure of the Company’s ability to service its consolidated debt obligations as well as compare leverage against that of its peer REITs. A reconciliation between net income/(loss) and Consolidated EBITDAre - adjusted for non-recurring items is provided on Attachment 4(C) of the Company's quarterly supplemental disclosure.

Controllable Expenses: The Company refers to property operating and maintenance expenses as Controllable Expenses.

Controllable Operating Margin: The Company defines Controllable Operating Margin as (i) rental income less Controllable Expenses (ii) divided by rental income. Management considers Controllable Operating Margin a useful metric as it provides investors with an indicator of the Company’s ability to limit the growth of expenses that are within the control of the Company.

Development Communities: The Company defines Development Communities as those communities recently developed or under development by the Company, that are currently majority owned by the Company and have not achieved stabilization as of the most recent quarter.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre): The Company defines EBITDAre as net income/(loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus interest expense, including costs associated with debt extinguishment, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus other depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) income tax provision/(benefit), net, (minus) plus net gain/(loss) on the sale of depreciable real estate owned, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus the adjustments to reflect the Company’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company computes EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, which may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not compute EBITDAre in accordance with the Nareit definition, or that interpret the Nareit definition differently than the Company does. The White Paper on EBITDAre was approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit in September 2017.

Management considers EBITDAre a useful metric for investors as it provides an additional indicator of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt, and enables investors to assess our performance against that of its peer REITs. EBITDAre should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the Company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAre does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. A reconciliation between net income/(loss) and EBITDAre is provided on Attachment 4(C) of the Company's quarterly supplemental disclosure.

Effective Blended Lease Rate Growth: The Company defines Effective Blended Lease Rate Growth as the combined proportional growth as a result of Effective New Lease Rate Growth and Effective Renewal Lease Rate Growth. Management considers Effective Blended Lease Rate Growth a useful metric for investors as it assesses combined proportional market-level, new and in-place demand trends.

Effective New Lease Rate Growth: The Company defines Effective New Lease Rate Growth as the increase in gross potential rent realized less concessions for the new lease term (current effective rent) versus prior resident effective rent for the prior lease term on new leases commenced during the current quarter.

Management considers Effective New Lease Rate Growth a useful metric for investors as it assesses market-level new demand trends.

Effective Renewal Lease Rate Growth: The Company defines Effective Renewal Lease Rate Growth as the increase in gross potential rent realized less concessions for the new lease term (current effective rent) versus prior effective rent for the prior lease term on renewed leases commenced during the current quarter.

Management considers Effective Renewal Lease Rate Growth a useful metric for investors as it assesses market-level, in-place demand trends.

Estimated Quarter of Completion: The Company defines Estimated Quarter of Completion of a development or redevelopment project as the date on which construction is expected to be completed, but it does not represent the date of stabilization.

Funds from Operations as Adjusted ("FFO as Adjusted") attributable to common stockholders and unitholders: The Company defines FFO as Adjusted attributable to common stockholders and unitholders as FFO excluding the impact of other non-comparable items including, but not limited to, acquisition-related costs, prepayment costs/benefits associated with early debt retirement, impairment write-downs or gains and losses on sales of real estate or other assets incidental to the main business of the Company and income taxes directly associated with those gains and losses, casualty-related expenses and recoveries, severance costs and legal and other costs.

Management believes that FFO as Adjusted is useful supplemental information regarding our operating performance as it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods and allows investors to more easily compare our operating results with other REITs. FFO as Adjusted is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating performance. The Company believes that net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to FFO as Adjusted. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO as Adjusted or similar FFO measures and, accordingly, our FFO as Adjusted may not always be comparable to FFO as Adjusted or similar FFO measures calculated by other REITs. FFO as Adjusted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. A reconciliation from net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO as Adjusted is provided on Attachment 2.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") attributable to common stockholders and unitholders: The Company defines FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders as net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate related to the main business of the Company or of investments in non-consolidated investees that are directly attributable to decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate related to the main business of the Company and income taxes directly associated with those gains and losses, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for noncontrolling interests, and the Company’s share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. This definition conforms with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's definition issued in April 2002 and restated in November 2018. In the computation of diluted FFO, if OP Units, DownREIT Units, unvested restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units, stock options, and the shares of Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive, they are included in the diluted share count.

Management considers FFO a useful metric for investors as the Company uses FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of the Company's activities in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. A reconciliation from net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO is provided on Attachment 2.

Held For Disposition Communities: The Company defines Held for Disposition Communities as those communities that were held for sale as of the end of the most recent quarter.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”): The Company defines NOI as rental income less direct property rental expenses. Rental income represents gross market rent and other revenues less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI is property management expense, which is calculated as 3.25% of property revenue, and land rent. Property management expense covers costs directly related to consolidated property operations, inclusive of corporate management, regional supervision, accounting and other costs.

Management considers NOI a useful metric for investors as it is a more meaningful representation of a community’s continuing operating performance than net income as it is prior to corporate-level expense allocations, general and administrative costs, capital structure and depreciation and amortization and is a widely used input, along with capitalization rates, in the determination of real estate valuations. A reconciliation from net income/(loss) attributable to UDR, Inc. to NOI is provided below.

Definitions and Reconciliations
December 31, 2023
(Unaudited)

NOI Enhancing Capital Expenditures ("Cap Ex"): The Company defines NOI Enhancing Capital Expenditures as expenditures that result in increased income generation or decreased expense growth over time.

Management considers NOI Enhancing Capital Expenditures a useful metric for investors as it quantifies the amount of capital expenditures that are expected to grow, not just maintain, revenues or to decrease expenses.

Non-Mature Communities: The Company defines Non-Mature Communities as those communities that have not met the criteria to be included in same-store communities.

Non-Residential / Other: The Company defines Non-Residential / Other as non-apartment components of mixed-use properties, land held, properties being prepared for redevelopment and properties where a material change in home count has occurred.

Other Markets: The Company defines Other Markets as the accumulation of individual markets where it operates less than 1,000 Same-Store homes. Management considers Other Markets a useful metric as the operating results for the individual markets are not representative of the fundamentals for those markets as a whole.

Physical Occupancy: The Company defines Physical Occupancy as the number of occupied homes divided by the total homes available at a community.

QTD Same-Store Communities: The Company defines QTD Same-Store Communities as those communities Stabilized for five full consecutive quarters. These communities were owned and had stabilized operating expenses as of the beginning of the quarter in the prior year, were not in process of any substantial redevelopment activities, and were not held for disposition.

Recurring Capital Expenditures: The Company defines Recurring Capital Expenditures as expenditures that are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain functionality at its communities.

Redevelopment Communities: The Company generally defines Redevelopment Communities as those communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress. Based upon the level of material impact the redevelopment has on the community (operations, occupancy levels, and future rental rates), the community may or may not maintain Stabilization. As such, for each redevelopment, the Company assesses whether the community remains in Same-Store.

Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis: Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to rental income on a straight-line basis which allows investors to evaluate the impact of both current and historical concessions and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by its peer REITs. In addition, Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis allows an investor to understand the historical trends in cash concessions.

A reconciliation between Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis to Same-Store Revenue on a straight-line basis (inclusive of the impact to Same-Store NOI) is provided below:

		4Q 23				4Q 22				4Q 23				3Q 23				YTD 23				YTD 22

Concessions granted/(amortized), net			890				1,137				890				804				1,591				(6,082	)
Revenue (Straight-line basis)		$	379,878			$	370,653			$	379,878			$	382,520			$	1,492,428			$	1,405,413

% change - Same-Store NOI with Concessions on a Straight-line basis:			2.3	%							0.7	%							6.8	%

Sold Communities: The Company defines Sold Communities as those communities that were disposed of prior to the end of the most recent quarter.

Stabilization/Stabilized: The Company defines Stabilization/Stabilized as when a community’s occupancy reaches 90% or above for at least three consecutive months.

Stabilized, Non-Mature Communities: The Company defines Stabilized, Non-Mature Communities as those communities that have reached Stabilization but are not yet in the same-store portfolio.

Total Revenue per Occupied Home: The Company defines Total Revenue per Occupied Home as rental and other revenues with concessions reported on a Cash Basis, divided by the product of occupancy and the number of apartment homes. A reconciliation between Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis to Same-Store Revenue on a straight-line basis is provided above.

Management considers Total Revenue per Occupied Home a useful metric for investors as it serves as a proxy for portfolio quality, both geographic and physical.

TRS: The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) focus on making investments and providing services that are otherwise not allowed to be made or provided by a REIT.

YTD Same-Store Communities: The Company defines YTD Same-Store Communities as those communities Stabilized for two full consecutive calendar years. These communities were owned and had stabilized operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior year, were not in process of any substantial redevelopment activities, and were not held for disposition.
