MAA REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS

GERMANTOWN, TN, February 4, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or MAA (NYSE: MAA), today announced operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

Brad Hill, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “With fourth quarter Core FFO results in line with our expectations, we are encouraged by the improving occupancy and blended pricing trends we continue to see, reflecting the resilience of our platform and supporting a constructive outlook for leasing fundamentals heading into 2026. While new supply deliveries are still elevated by historical standards, we are optimistic that the current deceleration in new deliveries, combined with solid demand fundamentals and strong resident retention will lead to strengthening revenue performance throughout the year as tightening market conditions provide increased support for new lease price recovery. While economic uncertainty persists, the long-term outlook for rental housing in our high-demand region remains solid and our growing investments position MAA to deliver meaningful earnings growth as the recovery gains momentum.”

During the fourth quarter of 2025, MAA repurchased 0.2 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average share price of $131.61 for total consideration of approximately $27 million.

Balance sheet highlights as of December 31, 2025 are summarized below (dollars in billions):

Corporate Sustainability

As of December 31, 2025, MAA’s corporate initiatives have led to significant progress in MAA’s key sustainability performance areas: People Engagement, Portfolio Resiliency, and Stakeholder Commitment. Documented within MAA’s 6th annual Corporate Sustainability Report, published in September 2025, and using performance data through December 31, 2024, MAA achieved a 29% reduction in energy use intensity (EUI) and a 44% reduction in greenhouse gas emission intensity (GEI) from its 2018 baseline, establishing a rapid pace toward its goal to reduce EUI and GEI by 35% and 45% by 2028, respectively.

MAA believes its resource-efficiency initiatives advance an integrated pathway for sustainability while strengthening operational efficiency and resiliency. Through 2025, MAA expanded smart irrigation systems to 55 properties, completed a building automation system pilot across nine properties to improve common-area energy performance, and initiated solar installations at three properties. These efforts were in parallel to continued portfolio enhancements, including 15,700+ ENERGY STAR appliance installations and EV charging ports now totaling 545 across MAA’s portfolio.

In 2025, MAA also reported strong resident and community outcomes, including a 4.7/5 average Google Star rating, and hosted a second annual MAAke a Difference Day, building on MAA's inaugural MAAke a Difference Day in 2024. Most recent third-party benchmarking results provide additional validation of performance, including a CDP Climate Change score of B and a GRESB Standing Investments score of 80, exceeding the GRESB global average and earning Green Star status.

128th Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend Declared

MAA declared its 128th consecutive quarterly common dividend, which was paid on January 30, 2026 to holders of record on January 15, 2026. The current annual dividend rate is $6.12 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.

2026 Earnings and Same Store Guidance

MAA is providing its initial 2026 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 2026 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.

The projected difference between Core FFO per diluted Share for the full year of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the full year of
2026 is summarized below:

MAA expects Core FFO for the first quarter of 2026 to be in the range of $2.05 to $2.17 per diluted Share, or $2.11 per diluted Share at the midpoint. The projected difference from Core FFO per diluted Share for the fourth quarter of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the first quarter of 2026 is summarized below:

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.

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 and (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.

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.

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. 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.

NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders.
