MAA Q3 2023 Earnings Report
Reported operating results ahead of expectations, driven by solid apartment housing demand and positive migration trends.
Key Takeaways
Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA) reported third-quarter 2023 results that exceeded expectations, driven by strong demand for apartment housing, stable employment conditions, positive migration trends, and low resident move-outs. The company's diversified portfolio and strong operating platform have positioned it well to navigate the current new supply pipeline and pursue new growth opportunities.
Same Store Portfolio produced revenue growth of 4.1% compared to the same period in the prior year, with Average Effective Rent per Unit up 4.5% and Average Physical Occupancy of 95.7%.
Same Store Portfolio property operating expense and Net Operating Income (NOI) increased by 4.7% and 3.7%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.
Resident turnover remained low at 45.2% on a trailing 12 month basis, driven by historically low levels of move-outs associated with buying single family-homes.
MAA's balance sheet remains strong with a historically low Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 3.4x and $1.4 billion of combined cash and available capacity under MAALP’s unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2023.
