01 Key takeaways
What management said
- •This is Andrew Schaeffer, Treasurer and Director of Capital Markets for MAA.
- •We encourage you to refer to the forward-looking statement section in yesterday's earnings release and our 34-act filings with the SEC, which describe risk factors that may impact future results.
- •A presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as reconciliations of the differences between non-GAAP and comparable GAAP measures, can be found in our earnings release and supplemental financial data.
- •Our earnings release and supplement are currently available on the For Investors page of our website at www.maac.com.
- •Demand remains resilient, with absorption across our markets reaching the highest level in over 25 years.
- •With a stable employment sector and strong wage growth, our residents are financially healthy, leading to continued good collections and improving rent-to-income ratios.
- •Our diversified portfolio, focused on high-growth markets and operating scale, continues to position MAA best to capitalize on these favorable trends to a greater degree as the demand-supply balance moves more in our favor.
- •On the external growth front, because of our access to capital, we continue to find select compelling development opportunities.
- •We remain committed to the disciplined expansion of our development pipeline, and we are making progress toward that goal.
- •Transaction volumes are still muted as bid-ask spreads persist and capital remains cautious given elevated interest rates.
- •Our strong balance sheet and liquidity position will allow us to be opportunistic should more attractive acquisition opportunities become available in the second half of the year.
- •Our markets continue to benefit from higher job growth, wage growth, household formation, and demographic tailwinds than the national average.
What went well
- •Core FFO of $2.15 per diluted share, $0.02 ahead of the midpoint of Q2 guidance.
- •Sequential improvement in new, renewal, and blended lease-over-lease rates all exceeded the prior year's sequential improvement; blended pricing of 0.5% was a 100 bps improvement from Q1.
- •Stable average physical occupancy of 95.4% and continued strong collections with net delinquency at just 0.3% of billed rents.
- •Absorption across markets reached the highest level in over 25 years and outpaced new deliveries for a fourth consecutive quarter; about 85,000 fewer units available to lease than 12 months earlier.
- •Completed 2,678 interior unit upgrades year-to-date with $95 rent increases above non-upgraded units and a cash-on-cash return in excess of 19%, an acceleration in both volume and rent growth from Q1.
- •Same-store expense performance better than expected (driven by real estate tax expense), and property/casualty insurance renewal achieved an overall premium decrease.
What went wrong
- •Broad economic uncertainty slowed the pace of new lease pricing recovery, causing May and June new lease pricing to be a bit below expectations as prospects became more selective and operators leaned toward occupancy.
- •Unfavorable non-same-store NOI of $0.02 driven by elevated supply pressure on the lease-up portfolio.
- •Effective rent growth guidance midpoint lowered to -0.25% and total same-store revenue guidance revised down to 0.1%; full-year same-store NOI reaffirmed at -1.15% (negative).
- •Stabilization dates pushed by one quarter for three lease-up properties (West Midtown, Vale, Val Vista) due to higher leasing pressure and uncertainty.
- •Austin faced record supply pressure resulting in weaker new lease pricing, with Phoenix and Nashville also facing significant pricing pressure.
- •Total lease-over-lease guidance revised down by roughly 100 bps (from ~1.5% to ~0.5%), with the Q2 result the biggest driver of the adjustment.
