- As previously announced, during the fourth quarter the Company,
- 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.
- Recorded a non-cash loan reserve of $37.3 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. 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, FFO, and FFOA.
- Published its sixth annual ESG report.
- Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company completed the sales of
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.
“2024 was another solid year, with FFOA per share growth that
exceeded our original guidance expectations despite historically
high levels of new supply completions,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s
Chairman and CEO. “As we look ahead, we see easing supply
pressures, a resilient labor market, and relative affordability of
apartments that remains attractive versus other forms of housing,
collectively creating a fundamental backdrop for improved
Same-Store NOI growth. We will continue to drive value from our
strong operating and capital markets acumen, which reinforces UDR
as a full-cycle investment.”

Operating Results
In the fourth quarter, total revenue increased by $9.5 million
YOY, or 2.3 percent, to $422.7 million. This increase was primarily
attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store communities,
prior year acquisitions, and completed developments.
“Same-Store revenue, expense, and NOI growth in the fourth
quarter was better than expected, which drove full-year 2024
Same-Store NOI growth above the high-end of our previous guidance
range,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Chief Operating Officer. “We begin
2025 in a position of strength with Same-Store occupancy above 97
percent, resident retention that continues to exceed our
expectations, renewal rate growth in the mid-4 percent range, and
continued innovation leading to mid-to-high single digit growth
from our various other income initiatives.”

Transactional Activity
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company completed the sales of
Leonard Pointe, a 188-home apartment community in New York, for
gross proceeds of $127.5 million, or $680,000 per apartment home,
and One William, a 185-home apartment community in New Jersey, for
gross proceeds of $84.0 million, or $455,000 per apartment
home.
Debt and Preferred Equity Program
Activity
At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company had fully funded
its $529.2 million of commitments under its Debt and Preferred
Equity Program, with approximately 50 percent of this amount being
in stabilized developments and recapitalizations. In total, the
Company’s Debt and Preferred Equity investments carry a contractual
weighted average 9.9 percent rate of return and have a weighted
average remaining term of 2.4 years.
As previously announced, during the quarter the Company,
- 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 remaining investment balance of
approximately $30.5 million in Upton Place as part of a
recapitalization.
- Recorded a non-cash loan reserve of $37.3 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. 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, FFO, and FFOA.
Capital Markets and Balance Sheet
Activity
The Company’s total indebtedness as of December 31, 2024 was
$5.8 billion with only $535.0 million, or 9.7 percent of total
consolidated debt, maturing through 2026, including principal
amortization and excluding amounts on the Company’s commercial
paper program and working capital credit facility. As of December
31, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion in 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 regarding investment
guidance.

Company,
- Promoted Mike Lacy to Chief Operating Officer after having
served the Company as Senior Vice President – Operations since
2019.

addition to his responsibilities as President and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”). In this role, Mr. Fisher has taken on the

recruit a new CFO. Upon the successful hire of a new CFO, Mr.
Fisher will relinquish his responsibilities in that capacity and

Corporate Responsibility
During the quarter, the Company published its sixth annual ESG
report, which detailed UDR’s ongoing commitment to engaging in
socially responsible ESG activities to contribute to a lower-carbon
future.
Dividend
As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors
declared a regular quarterly dividend on its common stock for the
fourth quarter 2024 in the amount of $0.425 per share. The dividend
was paid in cash on January 31, 2025 to UDR common shareholders of

represented the 209th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the
Company on its common stock.
In conjunction with this release, the Company’s Board of
Directors has announced a 2025 annualized dividend per share of
$1.72, representing a 1.2 percent increase over the 2024 annualized

Supplemental Financial
Information
The Company offers Supplemental Financial Information that
provides details on the financial position and operating results of
the Company which, along with the related Investor Presentation, is
available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's
website at ir.udr.com.
Attachment 14(A)
Definitions and Reconciliations December 31,
2024 (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 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 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
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 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 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.
Contractual Return Rate: The Company defines
Contractual Return Rate as the rate of return or interest rate that
the Company is entitled to receive on a preferred equity investment
or loan, as specified in the applicable agreement.
Controllable Expenses: The Company refers to property
operating and maintenance expenses as Controllable Expenses.
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), (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/(decrease) in gross potential rent
realized less concessions on a straight-line basis 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/(decrease) in gross potential rent realized less
concessions on a straight-line basis 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.
Attachment 14(B)
Definitions and Reconciliations December 31, 2024
(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 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.

Attachment 14(C)
Definitions and Reconciliations December 31,
2024 (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.
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
straight-line basis, divided by the product of occupancy and the
number of apartment homes. 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.

the denominator when calculating FFO per common share and unit,
diluted. (3) See Attachment 1, footnote 3 and Attachment 10(B),
