  • The Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $16.7 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $(26.3) million, or $(0.09) per share, in the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Same-Store (“SS”) net operating income (“NOI”), higher NOI from acquired communities, higher income from unconsolidated entities, and lower debt extinguishment costs.
  • SS results for third quarter 2021 versus third quarter 2020 and second quarter 2021 are summarized below.

  • The Company’s weighted average SS physical occupancy for the third quarter of 2021 was 97.5 percent, compared to 95.5 percent for the third quarter of 2020 and 97.2 percent for the second quarter of 2021.
  • The Company continues to implement its Next Generation Operating Platform which helped limit third quarter 2021 SS controllable expense growth to 1.8 percent YOY and 2.0 percent YTD.
  • During the quarter, the Company acquired five communities with a combined purchase price of $619.9 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company acquired two communities for $282.5 million and sold one community for proceeds of $126.0 million.
  • During the quarter and subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into forward equity sale agreements under its at-the-market equity program for approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock at a weighted average initial forward price per share of $53.80 for estimated future proceeds of approximately $321.9 million, subject to adjustment as described later in this release. During the quarter, the Company settled approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock under its previously-announced forward equity sales agreements at a weighted average net price per share, after adjustments, of $43.82 for proceeds of approximately $500.0 million.
  • During the quarter, the Company (a) issued $200.0 million of 10-year unsecured debt at an effective interest rate of 2.259 percent, (b) increased the maximum aggregate capacity on its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.3 billion from $1.1 billion and extended its maturity to January 2026, (c) increased the maximum aggregate capacity under its commercial paper program to $700.0 million from $500.0 million, (d) extended the maturity of its $350.0 million senior unsecured term loan to January 2027, and (e) extended the maturity of its $75.0 million working capital facility to January 2024. The spread above LIBOR on each of the revolving credit facility, term loan, and working capital facility was reduced by 5 basis points.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company published its third annual ESG report, which detailed the Company’s progress towards its ESG goals and introduced enhanced greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage reduction targets. Concurrently, the Company announced it was named the number one ESG performer in the 2021 GRESB survey among publicly listed residential companies worldwide with a score of 86.

“We once again achieved the high-end of our expectations across key performance metrics and raised guidance for the fourth time this year on the back of accretive capital allocation and strong operating results across our 21 markets, which have been further supplemented by our ongoing Platform innovations,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “The competitive advantages created by our operational focus have and should continue to drive strong same-store growth and margin expansion as well as enable us to accretively deploy capital through numerous channels.”

Recent Operating Trends

“We continue to realize sequential improvement in blended rate growth, collections, and our other income initiatives, while portfolio occupancy remains above 97 percent,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Senior Vice President of Operations. “Pricing power has remained unseasonably strong with our loss-to-lease staying in the low-teens, and we are effectively capturing higher-than-normal levels of demand throughout our portfolio due to market strength and a variety of Next Generation Operating Platform initiatives.”

Metrics shown here are as of October 25, 2021, and are for the Company’s total residential portfolio, unless otherwise indicated. The summation of cash revenue collected during and subsequent to a billing period may not equate to the total cash revenue collected as of October 25, 2021 for that same billing period due to rounding. Cash revenue collected as a percentage of billed revenue for Q2 2020, Q3 2020, Q4 2020, and Q1 2021 continue to increase over time and are 98.3 percent, 98.0 percent, 97.9 percent, and 97.9 percent, respectively, as of October 25, 2021.

(2)

For Q3 2021, as a result of the reduction in its accounts receivable balance during the quarter, the Company reduced its reserves (reflected as an increase in revenues) by approximately 0.9 percent, or $3.0 million, including $0.1 million for the Company’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures. This reduces the Company’s total bad debt reserve to $15.1 million, including $1.0 million for the Company’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, which compares to a quarter-end accounts receivable balance of $23.3 million.

(3)

The Company defines Effective Blended Lease Rate Growth as the combined proportional growth as a result of (a) Effective New Lease Rate Growth and (b) 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. Please refer to the “Definitions and Reconciliations” section of the Company’s related quarterly Supplemental Financial Information for additional details.

Third Quarter 2021 Operations

In the third quarter, total revenue increased by $19.7 million YOY, or 6.4 percent, to $329.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store, acquired, and stabilized, non-mature communities. The third quarter annualized rate of turnover decreased by 1,120 basis points versus the prior year period to 53.8 percent.

Year-to-date (“YTD”), for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total revenue increased by $3.8 million YOY, or 0.4 percent, to $942.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from acquired communities, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from Same-Store and non-residential properties. The YTD annualized rate of turnover decreased by 380 basis points versus the prior year period to 47.1 percent.

In September 2018, UDR structured a $12.9 million preferred equity investment with a third-party developer to finance this 330-apartment home community that was completed in 2020. In connection with UDR’s acquisition of the community, the joint venture construction loan and the unpaid accrued interest were paid in full. Approximately $47.9 million of the acquisition cost was financed by issuing approximately 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units priced at $53.00 per share to the seller.

Nearly all properties acquired during the quarter and subsequent to quarter-end are located proximate to wholly owned UDR communities, which the Company expects should drive additional operating efficiencies as its Next Generation Operating Platform is deployed.

Development and Redevelopment Activity

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s development pipeline totaled $501.5 million and was 66 percent funded. The Company’s active pipeline includes five development communities, one each in Denver, CO; Dublin, CA; King of Prussia, PA; Addison, TX; and Washington, D.C., for a combined total of 1,417 homes.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s redevelopment pipeline totaled $18.1 million and was 30 percent funded. The Company’s active pipeline features the addition of 43 new apartment homes at two communities, one each in Newport Beach, CA, and San Francisco, CA.

Developer Capital Program (“DCP”) Activity

At the end of the third quarter, the Company’s preferred equity investments under its DCP platform, including accrued return, totaled $316.3 million with a weighted average return rate of 10.7 percent and weighted average estimated remaining term of 2.4 years.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity

During the quarter the Company entered into forward equity sale agreements under its at-the-market equity program for approximately 5.0 million shares of common stock at a weighted average initial forward price per share of $53.86. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into forward equity sale agreements under its at-the-market equity program for approximately 0.9 million shares of common stock at a weighted average initial forward price per share of $53.51. The initial forward price per share for all forward equity sale agreements mentioned above will be adjusted at settlement to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the term of the forward equity sale agreements. No shares under these new forward equity sale agreements have been settled. The final dates by which shares sold under these forward equity sale agreements must be settled range between August 1, 2022 and September 14, 2022.

During the quarter, the Company settled approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock under its previously-announced forward equity sales agreements at a weighted average net price per share, after adjustments, of $43.82 for proceeds of $500.0 million.

As previously announced, during the quarter, the Company:

  • Issued $200.0 million of 10-year unsecured debt at an effective interest rate of 2.259 percent. The notes were priced at 106.388 percent of the principal amount and were a further issuance of the Company’s $400.0 million senior unsecured notes due 2031.
  • Increased the maximum aggregate capacity on its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to $1.3 billion from $1.1 billion and extended the maturity date to January 31, 2026, with two six-month extension options. At the Company’s current credit rating, the facility carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 77.5 basis points, a 5 basis point improvement versus prior pricing.
  • Extended the maturity date of its $350.0 million senior unsecured term loan to January 31, 2027. At the Company’s current credit rating, the term loan carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 85 basis points, a 5 basis point improvement versus prior pricing.
  • Increased the maximum aggregate capacity under its commercial paper program to $700.0 million from $500.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, the program bears an interest rate of 0.22 percent, the equivalent of LIBOR plus a spread of 14 basis points.
  • Extended the maturity date of its $75.0 million working capital facility to January 12, 2024. At the Company’s current credit rating, the facility carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of 77.5 basis points, a 5 basis point improvement versus prior pricing.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $1.0 billion of liquidity through a combination of cash and undrawn capacity on its credit facilities, plus estimated proceeds of approximately $593.0 million from the potential settlement of approximately 11.6 million shares subject to previously-announced forward equity sale agreements (subject to adjustment as described above), for a total of $1.6 billion in liquidity. Please see Attachment 14 of the Company’s related quarterly Supplemental Financial Information for additional details on projected capital sources and uses.

Attachment 15(A)

UDR, Inc.
Definitions and Reconciliations
September 30, 2021
(Unaudited)

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 flows 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 lending partners 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 Interest Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items: The Company defines Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items as Consolidated EBITDAre – adjusted for non-recurring items divided by total consolidated interest, excluding the impact of costs associated with debt extinguishment.

Management considers Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio - adjusted for non-recurring items a useful metric for investors as it provides ratings agencies, investors and lending partners 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 Interest 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 lending partners 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 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.

UDR, Inc.
Definitions and Reconciliations

(Unaudited)

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 flows 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 3.0% 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
September 30, 2021
(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 that is expected to have a material impact on the community's operations, including occupancy levels and future rental rates.

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:

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 of the Company’s quarterly supplemental disclosure.

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 subsidiary (“TRS”) focuses 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.

(2) During the three months ended September 30, 2021, UDR collected 95.8% of billed residential revenue and 86.1% of billed retail revenue. As a result of the reduction in its accounts receivable balances during the quarter, UDR reduced its reserves (reflected as an increase to revenues) by approximately 0.9% or $3.0 million, including $0.1 million for UDR’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, for residential, and 19.2% or $1.2 million, including straight-line rent receivables and $0 for UDR’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, for retail. The remaining reserves are based on probability of collection.
(3) During the three months ended September 30, 2021, UDR recorded $14.6 million in investment income from real estate technology investments. Of the $14.6 million, $4.6 million was recorded in Interest income and other income/(expense), net and $10.0 million was recorded in Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities.
