Fourth Quarter 2020 Operations

In the fourth quarter, total revenue decreased by ($2.4) million year-over-year, or (0.8) percent, to $302.4 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to declines in revenue from mature communities. Please refer to the table on page 1 of this filing for additional details on fourth quarter Combined Same-Store growth results.

In the table below, the Company has presented sequential Combined Same-Store results by region, with concessions accounted for on cash and straight-line bases.

Weighted average Combined Same-Store physical occupancy for the quarter.

Retail tenant income accounts for less than two percent of the Company’s consolidated NOI. During the fourth quarter, the Company collected 88.9 percent of billed retail revenue and reserved $1.7 million, including $0.1 million for UDR’s share from unconsolidated joint ventures, of its retail revenue based on probability of collection.

Full Year 2020 Operations

Net income per share was $0.20, FFO per share was $1.85, FFOA per share was $2.04, and AFFO per share was $1.86.

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $60.0 million compared to net income of $180.9 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense and interest expense in 2020, and a decline in Combined Same-Store NOI.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, total revenue increased by $89.0 million year-over-year, or 7.7 percent, to $1.2 billion. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in revenue from acquired and stabilized, non-mature communities.

In the table below, the Company has presented Combined Same-Store results by region for the year ended December 31, 2020, with concessions accounted for on cash and straight-line bases.

COVID-19 Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United States, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place or similar orders. While vaccines have been developed and are being administered it is unclear when or if the vaccine may allow a return to pre-pandemic activity levels.

While operations in certain areas have been allowed to fully or partially re-open, many areas are experiencing new closures or restrictions subsequent to re-opening and no assurance can be given that such closures or restrictions will not continue to occur. Our headquarters, all of our properties and our corporate offices are located in areas that are or have been subject to shelter-in-place orders and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate. These orders and restrictions and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the ability of our residents and retail and commercial tenants to pay their rent. It is still uncertain how various legislation or orders adopted by the federal government and state and local governments, or those that may be modified or enacted in the future, may continue to impact, the ability of our residents and retail and commercial tenants to pay their rent. The governmental actions intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have also caused us to reduce staffing at certain of our locations, and have impacted, and may continue to impact, our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Further, the federal government and a number of the states, counties and municipalities in which we operate have adopted, and may extend, eviction moratoriums, either directly or indirectly (such as through direction to law enforcement or courts not to serve notices or take actions related to eviction), which have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, our ability to enforce our legal and contractual rights and our ability to remove residents or retail and commercial tenants who are not paying their rent and our ability to rent their units or other space to new residents or retail and commercial tenants, respectively. In addition, certain jurisdictions have restricted our ability to charge certain fees, including fees for late payment of rent. We have received, and continue to receive, more requests from our residents and retail and commercial tenants for assistance with respect to paying rent than we have historically received. In response, we have instituted a number of initiatives to assist residents and other tenants, including rent deferrals, payment plans, and waiving late payment fees when appropriate. In addition, we have seen an increase in tenant rent concessions compared to prior year periods, as discussed further below. In particular, the urban core markets of New York, NY, San Francisco Bay Area, CA, and Boston, MA have been more adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to our other markets, resulting in larger decreases in rental income from elevated rent concessions and lower occupancy in those markets. We also have experienced an increase in resident move-outs and turnover on an annualized basis. With respect to leasing activities, leasing traffic and visits by potential residents had decreased during much of the year; however, they increased during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same quarter in 2019. Our percentage of leases entered into with a prospective tenant has increased year over year.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company performed an analysis in accordance with the ASC 842, Leases, guidance to assess the collectibility of its operating lease receivables in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis included an assessment of collectibility of current and future rents and whether those lease payments were no longer probable of collection. In accordance with the leases guidance, if lease payments are no longer deemed to be probable over the life of the lease contract, we recognize revenue only when cash is received, and all existing contractual operating lease receivables and straight-line lease receivables are reserved.

As a result of its analysis, the Company reserved approximately $13.5 million of multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $6.0 million of retail tenant lease receivables (inclusive of $3.3 million of reserves on straight-line lease receivables) for its wholly-owned communities and communities held by joint ventures. In aggregate, the reserve is reflected as an $18.4 million reduction to Rental income and a $1.1 million reduction to Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The impact to deferred leasing commissions was not material for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million on its investment in equity securities of a non-core investment. The Company did not recognize any other adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or asset impairment charges due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of January 31, 2021, we had collected 97.0%, 96.1% and 95.2% of billed monthly rents for our multifamily residents for October, November and December, respectively. While our cash rent collections in November, December, and January showed marginal declines versus October, this slight seasonal deterioration is consistent with historical collection trends in prior years.

Development Activity

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company’s development pipeline totaled $491.5 million, of which 50 percent of this cost had been incurred. The Company’s active pipeline includes five development communities, one each in Addison, TX; Denver, CO; Dublin, CA; Washington, D.C.; and King of Prussia, PA, for a combined total of 1,378 homes. During the quarter construction commenced at Village at Valley Forge, a $68.0 million, 200-home community in the King of Prussia submarket of Philadelphia, PA.

Developer Capital Program (“DCP”) Activity

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company’s DCP investments, including accrued return, totaled $429.0 million with a weighted average return rate of 8.3 percent and weighted average remaining term of 2.4 years.

During the quarter, the Company’s $53.7 million investment balance and accrued return on its mezzanine loan for The Portals development in Washington, D.C., was repaid.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company committed to invest $30.2 million into Makers Rise, a 356-home multifamily development located in suburban Washington, D.C. (Herndon, VA). The investment yields 9.0 percent on the Company’s capital outstanding with five years until expected redemption and includes profit participation upon a liquidity event. The community is fully capitalized, inclusive of $16.7 million of developer equity (or approximately 15 percent of the $110.3 million total project cost), and construction is scheduled to commence during the first quarter of 2021.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Activity

During the quarter, the Company settled approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock under its previously-announced forward equity sales agreements at a weighted average net price of $48.23 for aggregate net proceeds of $102.2 million.

As previously announced, during the quarter the Company issued $350.0 million of unsecured debt at an effective interest rate of 1.94 percent that matures in March 2033. The Company expects to allocate the net proceeds from the offering to eligible Green projects. Pending allocation for such purposes, the Company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $183.1 million of 3.75 percent medium-term unsecured notes originally due July 2024 and repay other outstanding indebtedness, including the Company’s $67.5 million of 4.0 percent secured indebtedness originally maturing in 2023 and outstanding balances on the Company’s commercial paper program and working capital credit facility. The combined prepayment and make-whole amounts, netted against fair market value adjustments, totaled approximately $23.8 million.

Subsequent to quarter-end, UDR and its joint venture partner MetLife refinanced $302.9 million of mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 3.7 percent on Columbus Square (Manhattan, NY) that were scheduled to mature in 2022 with $229.6 million of fixed rate mortgage loans at a weighted average interest rate of 2.6 percent that mature in 2031.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $958.4 million of liquidity through a combination of cash and undrawn capacity on its credit facilities.

The Company’s total indebtedness as of December 31, 2020 was $5.0 billion with no remaining consolidated maturities until 2023, excluding principal amortization, amounts on the Company’s commercial paper program and amounts on the Company’s working capital credit facility.

Senior Management and Board of Directors

As previously announced, effective January 1, 2021, Jerry A. Davis transitioned from the role of Chief Operating Officer, but continues to serve as President of the Company. Mr. Davis will focus on the continued implementation and evolution of the Company’s Next Generation Operating Platform, the evaluation of new technologies and technology investments useful to the Company’s business areas, and redevelopment opportunities. In conjunction with the transition, Mr. Davis intends to retire at year-end 2021, at which time he will transition to a consulting role. Michael D. Lacy, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Property Operations, will continue to oversee UDR’s day-to-day operations, as he has for the last three years.

As previously announced, during the quarter the Company appointed Diane Morefield to its Board of Directors. Ms. Morefield most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at CyrusOne, Inc, a $13 billion publicly traded data center REIT, and previously held executive-level positions at two publicly traded REITs that have since been taken private. Ms. Morefield is an independent director and serves on the Audit and Governance Committees.

Dividend

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend on its common stock for the fourth quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.36 per share. The dividend was paid in cash on February 1, 2021 to UDR common stock shareholders of record as of January 11, 2021. The fourth quarter 2020 dividend represented the 193rd consecutive quarterly dividend paid by the Company on its common stock.

UDR, Inc.

Definitions and Reconciliations

(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.

Acquired JV Same-Store Portfolio Communities:  Represents the Acquired JV Same-Store Portfolio Communities as if these communities were 100% owned by UDR since January 1, 2019. These communities were Stabilized for five full consecutive quarters 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. Because these communities became wholly owned by UDR in 2019 (the 11 communities and 3,619 homes were previously owned by UDR unconsolidated JVs), they are not included in the UDR Same-Store Communities. See UDR Same-Store Communities for more information regarding inclusion. These communities have been identified in certain tables to provide Combined Same-Store results as if these communities were 100% owned by UDR in prior periods. These 11 communities will be eligible to join the UDR Same-Store Communities on January 1, 2021.

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 will enable 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 flows 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 above.

Combined Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis:  Combined 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, Combined Same-Store Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis allows an investor to understand the historical trends in cash concessions.

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.

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 flows 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 above.

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

11


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 above.

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 2.875% 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.

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 Combined 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.

12


QTD Combined Same-Store Communities:  QTD Combined Same-Store Communities represent the QTD UDR Same-Store Communities and the Acquired JV Same-Store Portfolio Communities as a single portfolio, as if the Acquired JV Same-Store Portfolio Communities were 100% owned by UDR during all periods presented.
