During the second quarter, As previously announced, the Company closed a $507.2 million joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management on behalf of an institutional client, retaining a 51 percent ownership in the four communities contributed as a seed portfolio. The Company achieved stabilization at Cirrus, a $101.9 million, 292-home apartment community developed in Denver, CO. The Company funded a total of $38.8 million to pay down and extend the maturity dates of the senior construction loans affiliated with three DCP investments. The funded amounts will earn a projected initial contractual weighted average return rate of 9.4 percent. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire six communities totaling 1,753 apartment homes valued at approximately $401.9 million.“The nation’s employment situation remains resilient, wage growth is strong, and relative affordability versus other forms of housing continues to favor apartments,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “Combining this demand backdrop with UDR’s history of prudent capital allocation and operating margin expansion through the adoption of innovative technologies positions our Company well for continued growth. Specifically, implied in our full-year 2023 guidance is an expectation for FFOA per share to accelerate in the second half of the year, driven by improving blended lease rate growth, better bad debt trends, higher other income from initiatives, and incremental NOI from the lease-up of recently developed communities.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results and Preliminary Third Quarter 2023 Same-Store Revenue Growth Expectations
In the second quarter, total revenue increased by $35.4 million YOY, or 9.6 percent, to $404.5 million. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from Same-Store communities and past accretive external growth investments.
“Healthy demand for UDR apartment homes enabled us to achieve 1.1 percent sequential same-store revenue growth on a straight-line basis in the second quarter,” said Mike Lacy, UDR’s Senior Vice President of Operations. “Resident financial health remains strong, traffic is high, and sequential market rent growth is above historical norms. When combined with growth in other income from our various initiatives, sequential same-store revenue growth should be 2 percent to 2.5 percent in the third quarter, which compares favorably to the pre-COVID average of approximately 1 percent, and in-line with our original expectations.”
For the second quarter 2023, the Company’s accounts receivable balance, net of its reserve, was $8.3 million, including its share from unconsolidated joint ventures. This is a decrease of $2.5 million versus the Company’s accounts receivable balance, net of its reserve, of $10.8 million as of the end of the first quarter 2023.
In the tables below, the Company has presented YOY, sequential, and year-to-date (“YTD”) Same-Store results by region, with concessions accounted for on both cash and straight-line bases.

Transactional Activity
As previously announced, during the quarter, the Company closed a $507.2 million joint venture with LaSalle Investment Management on behalf of an institutional client, retaining a 51 percent ownership in the four communities contributed as a seed portfolio. The value of the seed portfolio is based on a low-5% effective forward yield.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire six communities totaling 1,753 apartment homes in exchange for $172.5 million of UDR Operating Partnership Units issued at $47.50 per unit, $20.0 million in cash, and the assumption of $209.4 million of below market debt at a weighted average coupon rate of 3.8 percent with a weighted average of 6.3 years to maturity.

Data as of June 2023.
“We are pleased to acquire these high-quality apartment communities with equity issued slightly above consensus NAV,” said Tom Toomey, UDR’s Chairman and CEO. “In-place controllable operating margins across these communities are approximately 800 basis points on average below UDR communities in the same markets, illustrating the potential to drive future upside after integrating UDR’s industry-leading operating platform.”
Due to the low initial margins at the acquired communities relative to the average margin across UDR’s portfolio, the transaction is expected to be cash flow neutral in year 1 and accretive in year 2 as UDR initiatives are implemented. The transaction is expected to be slightly dilutive to FFOA per share in year 1 due to negative non-cash debt mark-to-market adjustments related to the significantly below-market-rate debt being assumed.
Development Activity and Other Projects
During the quarter, the Company achieved stabilization at Cirrus, a $101.9 million, 292-home apartment community the Company developed in Denver, CO.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s development pipeline totaled $187.5 million and was 58 percent funded. The Company’s active development pipeline includes two communities, one each in the Addison submarket of Dallas, TX, and Tampa, FL, for a combined total of 415 apartment homes.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s redevelopment pipeline of 2,343 apartment homes, which includes a densification project that features the addition of 30 new apartment homes at one community, totaled $124.7 million and was 34 percent funded.
Developer Capital Program (“DCP”) Portfolio
During the quarter, the Company funded a total of $38.8 million to pay down and extend the maturity dates of the senior construction loans affiliated with investments in 1300 Fairmount, Modera Lake Merritt, and Junction, which have a weighted average occupancy of 91 percent. The funded amounts will earn a projected initial contractual weighted average return rate of 9.4 percent, including a 9.5 percent return rate on 1300 Fairmount (8.5 percent prior), which could increase to 10.5 percent, or a projected contractual weighted average return rate of 9.9 percent at that time, if the developer exercises its option to extend the maturity date of the Company’s loan.
At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s commitments under its DCP platform totaled $520.9 million with a contractual weighted average return rate of 9.8 percent and a weighted average estimated remaining term of 3.0 years.
Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity
“Our investment grade balance sheet continues to improve, with net Debt-to-EBITDAre of 5.5x, which was lower by 0.7x versus a year ago,” said Joe Fisher, UDR’s President and Chief Financial Officer. “With minimal committed forward funding obligations, strong next 3-year liquidity, and our ability to source capital through joint venture and OP unit transactions, we can continue to opportunistically grow the Company and enhance stakeholder returns.”
The Company’s total indebtedness as of June 30, 2023 was $5.4 billion with no remaining consolidated maturities until 2024, excluding principal amortization and amounts on the Company’s commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1.1 billion of liquidity through a combination of cash and undrawn capacity on its credit facilities. Please see Attachment 14 of the Company’s related quarterly Supplement for additional details on projected capital sources and uses.

(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.
Controllable Expenses: The Company refers to property operating and maintenance expenses as Controllable Expenses.
Controllable Operating Margin: The Company defines Controllable Operating Margin as (i) rental income less Controllable Expenses (ii) divided by rental income. Management considers Controllable Operating Margin a useful metric as it provides investors with an indicator of the Company’s ability to limit the growth of expenses that are within the control of the Company.
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), net, (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 in gross potential rent realized less concessions 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 in gross potential rent realized less concessions 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 15(B)
Definitions and Reconciliations

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.

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.

Definitions and Reconciliations
June 30, 2023
(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.
Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis: Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to rental income on a straight-line basis which allows investors to evaluate the impact of both current and historical concessions and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by its peer REITs. In addition, Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis allows an investor to understand the historical trends in cash concessions.
A reconciliation between Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis to Same-Store Revenue on a straight-line basis (inclusive of the impact to Same-Store NOI) is provided below:

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 Cash Basis, divided by the product of occupancy and the number of apartment homes. A reconciliation between Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis to Same-Store Revenue on a straight-line basis is provided above.
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.
