Insights

UDR's Q4 2024 preliminary results show mixed performance signals. FFOA of $0.63 per share aligns with guidance, while same-store metrics reveal both strengths and challenges. The 2.5% revenue growth and strong 96.8% occupancy are positive indicators, but the -0.6% blended lease rate decline suggests pricing pressure. The planned asset sales totaling $211.5 million indicate strategic portfolio optimization. However, the $37 million loan reserve for 1300 Fairmount and projected $8 million income reduction in 2025 raise concerns about investment quality. The $38.5 million preferred equity paydown from Upton Place demonstrates successful capital recycling but maintaining $30 million exposure suggests continued confidence in the asset.

The multifamily market dynamics reflected in UDR's results highlight evolving sector conditions. The 3.4% expense growth outpacing revenue growth points to margin pressure, while the negative blended lease rate trend suggests market softening. The strategic divestment of assets in New York and New Jersey at attractive valuations ($678k and $454k per unit respectively) indicates optimal timing for market exits. The occupancy improvement from 96.3% to 96.8% quarter-over-quarter demonstrates strong demand fundamentals despite rate challenges. The Upton Place refinancing success in DC suggests sustained institutional appetite for quality multifamily assets, while the Philadelphia asset impairment reflects market-specific challenges.

Investment Activity

During the fourth quarter, the Company,

  • Entered into agreements to sell Leonard Pointe, a 188-home apartment community in New York, for gross proceeds of $127.5 million and One William, a 185-home apartment community in New Jersey, for gross proceeds of $84.0 million. The transactions are expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to typical due diligence and standard closing conditions.
  • Received a $38.5 million paydown on the Company’s preferred equity investment in Upton Place, a recently developed 689-home apartment community in Metropolitan Washington, D.C., in connection with the sponsor refinancing the joint venture’s senior construction loan. The paydown represents approximately 55 percent of the Company’s preferred equity investment in the joint venture. The Company chose to maintain its investment balance of approximately $30.0 million in Upton Place as part of a recapitalization.
  • Expects to record a non-cash loan reserve of approximately $37 million, or approximately $0.10 per diluted share, related to its joint venture loan investment in 1300 Fairmount, a 478-home apartment community in Philadelphia, PA, which will be reflected in the Company’s reported Net Income and Funds From Operations (“FFO”). Based on property-level fourth quarter 2024 results and the developer’s projected 2025 financial forecast, the Company did not record any income from its investment in 1300 Fairmount for the fourth quarter of 2024 and expects to record approximately $8.0 million less income from this investment in 2025 as compared to 2024, which equates to an approximate negative $0.02 per diluted share impact to 2025 Net Income and FFOA.

Definitions

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.

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.

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.

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

Non-GAAP financial measures and other terms, as used in this press release, are defined and further explained on Attachments 14(A) through 14(D), “Definitions and Reconciliations,” of the Company’s third quarter 2024 earnings Supplement.
