However, MAA’s historical long-term internal same store growth (and overall FFO growth) performance exceeds the sector average; established record of exceeding regional ‘market’ performance levels and sector ‘averages’ . Outlook for continued ‘out-performance’ is positive . Total Implied Unleveraged Return Implied 10 Year IRR: MAA outperforms by 100 bps on unleveraged basis with continued cap rate discount . MAA outperforms by 170 bps on a leveraged basis. MAA outperforms by 280 bps on a leveraged basis at the current peer average cap rate.
