Forward Guidance
MAA provided initial 2023 guidance for Net income per diluted common share, Core FFO per Share and Core AFFO per Share, along with its expectations for growth of Property revenue, Property operating expense and NOI for the Same Store Portfolio in 2023.
Positive Outlook
- Earnings per common share - diluted $5.97 to $6.37
- Core FFO per Share - diluted $8.88 to $9.28
- Core AFFO per Share - diluted $7.96 to $8.36
- Property revenue growth 5.25% to 7.25%

Challenges Ahead
- Property operating expense growth 5.15% to 7.15%
- MAA expects Core FFO for the first quarter of 2023 to be in the range of $2.14 to $2.30 per Share
- MAA does not forecast Net income 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).
- 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.
- The broader economy adjusts to a higher interest rate environment
