1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (the "Company," which term, unless the context otherwise requires, refers to AvalonBay Communities, Inc. together with its subsidiaries) is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company focuses on the development, redevelopment, acquisition, ownership and operation of multifamily communities in New England, the New York/New Jersey metro area, the Mid-Atlantic, the Pacific Northwest, and Northern and Southern California, as well as in the Company's expansion regions of Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, North Carolina, Southeast Florida, Dallas and Austin, Texas, and Denver, Colorado.

At June 30, 2023, the Company owned or held a direct or indirect ownership interest in 294 operating apartment communities containing 88,659 apartment homes in 12 states and the District of Columbia, of which 18 communities were under development and one was under redevelopment. The Company also owned or held a direct or indirect ownership interest in land or rights to land on which the Company expects to develop an additional 43 communities that, if developed as expected, will contain an estimated 14,993 apartment homes.

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Management believes the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods, have been included.

Capitalized terms used without definition have meanings provided elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Cash in Escrow

Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date acquired. Cash in escrow includes principal reserve funds that are restricted for the repayment of specified secured financing and amounts the Company has designated for planned 1031 exchange activity. The majority of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and cash in escrow are held at major commercial banks.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted share awards contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and, accordingly, are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method of computing basic earnings per share ("EPS"). Both the unvested restricted shares and other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. The Company's earnings per common share are determined as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Certain options to purchase shares of common stock in the amounts of 303,784 and 8,222 were outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because such options were anti-dilutive for the period.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company enters into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements (collectively, "Hedging Derivatives") for interest rate risk management purposes and in conjunction with certain variable rate secured debt to satisfy lender requirements. The Company does not enter into Hedging Derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company assesses the effectiveness of qualifying cash flow and fair value hedges, both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The fair values of Hedging Derivatives that are in an asset position are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets. The fair values of Hedging Derivatives that are in a liability position are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company does not present or disclose the fair value of Hedging Derivatives on a net basis. Fair value changes for derivatives that are not in qualifying hedge relationships are reported as a component of interest expense, net. For the Hedging Derivatives that qualify as effective cash flow hedges, the Company has recorded the cumulative changes in the fair value of Hedging Derivatives in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged cash flow. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the Hedging Derivatives that qualify as effective fair value hedges is reported as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the corresponding hedged item. See Note 11, “Fair Value,” for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.

Legal and Other Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and/or administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company recognizes a loss associated with contingent legal matters when the loss is probable and estimable. While no assurances can be given, the Company does not currently believe that any of these outstanding litigation matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions of Investments in Real Estate

The Company accounts for real estate acquisitions by first determining if the real estate investment is the acquisition of an asset or a business combination. Under either model, the Company identifies and determines the fair value of any assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. Typical assets acquired and liabilities assumed include land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, debt and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above or below market leases and in-place leases. The Company utilizes various sources to determine fair value, including its own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in its portfolio and other market data. Consideration for acquisitions is typically in the form of cash unless otherwise disclosed. For a business combination, the Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of each respective item. For an asset acquisition, the purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of the net assets. The Company expenses all applicable acquisition costs for a business combination and capitalizes all applicable acquisition costs for an asset acquisition. The Company expects that acquisitions of individual operating communities will generally be asset acquisitions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior years' financial statements and notes to the financial statements to conform to current year presentations as a result of changes in held for sale classification, disposition activity, segment classification and classification of for-sale condominium inventory and activity.

Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $3,343,000 and $2,312,000, respectively, primarily related to The Park Loggia.

Leases

The Company is party to leases as both a lessor and a lessee, primarily as follows:

•lessor of residential and commercial space within its apartment communities; and

•lessee under (i) ground leases for land underlying current operating or development communities and certain commercial and parking facilities and (ii) office leases for its corporate headquarters and regional offices.

Lessee Considerations

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, including specified portions of larger assets, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company’s leases include both fixed and variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate such as the consumer price index (CPI) or percentage rents based on total sales. Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability, but will be recognized as variable lease expense in the period in which they are incurred.

For leases that have options to extend the term or terminate the lease early, the Company only factored the impact of such options into the lease term if the option was considered reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company determined the discount rate associated with its ground and office leases on a lease-by-lease basis using the Company’s actual borrowing rates as well as indicative market pricing for longer term rates and taking into consideration the remaining term of the lease agreements. For leases that are 12 months or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not assess these leases under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases, and recognize the lease payments on a straight line basis.

Lessor Considerations

The Company has determined that the residential and commercial leases at its apartment communities are operating leases. For leases that include rent concessions and/or fixed and determinable rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable term of the lease, which, for residential leases, is generally one year. Some of the Company’s commercial leases have renewal options which the Company will only include in the lease term if, at the commencement of the lease, it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise this option.

For the Company’s leases, which are comprised of a lease component and common area maintenance as a non-lease component, the Company determined that (i) the leases are operating leases, (ii) the lease component is the predominant component and (iii) all components of its operating leases share the same timing and pattern of transfer.

Revenue and Gain Recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of goods and services to customers for consideration that the Company expects to receive. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from residential and commercial rental and other lease income, which are accounted for as discussed above, under "Leases". The Company's revenue streams that are not accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, include (i) management, development and other fees, (ii) non-lease related revenue and (iii) gains or losses on the sale of real estate.

The following table details the Company’s revenue disaggregated by reportable operating segment, further discussed in Note 8, “Segment Reporting,” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Segment information for total revenue excludes real estate assets that were sold from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, or otherwise qualify as held for sale as of June 30, 2023, as described in Note 6, "Real Estate Disposition Activities" (dollars in thousands):

Due to the nature and timing of the Company’s identified revenue streams, there were no material amounts of outstanding or unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2023.

Uncollectible Lease Revenue Reserves

The Company assesses the collectability of its lease revenue and receivables on an ongoing basis by (i) assessing the probability of receiving all lease amounts due on a lease-by-lease basis, (ii) reserving all amounts for those leases where collection of substantially all of the remaining lease payments is not probable and (iii) subsequently, will only recognize revenue to the extent cash is received. If the Company determines that collection of the remaining lease payments becomes probable at a future date, the Company will recognize the cumulative revenue that would have been recorded under the original lease agreement.

In addition to the specific reserves recognized under ASC 842, the Company also evaluates its lease receivables for collectability at a portfolio level under ASC 450, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies. The Company recognizes a reserve under ASC 450 when the uncollectible revenue is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company applies this reserve to the population of the Company’s revenue and receivables not specifically addressed as part of the specific ASC 842 reserve.

The Company recorded an aggregate offset to income for uncollectible lease revenue, net of amounts received from government rent relief programs, for its residential and commercial portfolios of $13,333,000 and $7,061,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $30,304,000 and $20,660,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, under ASC 842 and ASC 450.

The Company has a $2,250,000,000 revolving variable rate unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Facility") which matures in September 2026. The interest rate that would be applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facility was 5.92% at June 30, 2023 and was composed of (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus (ii) the current borrowing spread to SOFR of 0.825% per annum, which consisted of a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus 0.725% per annum, assuming a daily SOFR borrowing rate. The borrowing spread to SOFR can vary from SOFR plus 0.65% to SOFR plus 1.40% based upon the rating of the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated long-term indebtedness. There is also an annual facility commitment fee of 0.125% of the borrowing capacity under the facility, which can vary from 0.10% to 0.30% based upon the rating of the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated long-term indebtedness. The Credit Facility contains a sustainability-linked pricing component which provides for interest rate margin and commitment fee reductions or increases by meeting or missing targets related to environmental sustainability, specifically greenhouse gas emission reductions, with the adjustment determined annually beginning in July 2023.

The Company has an unsecured commercial paper note program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) with the maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $500,000,000. The Commercial Paper Program is backstopped by the Company's commitment to maintain available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to actual borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid $250,000,000 principal amount of its 2.85% unsecured notes at its maturity.

In the aggregate, secured notes payable mature at various dates from March 2027 through July 2066, and are secured by certain apartment communities (with a net carrying value of $1,166,698,000, excluding communities classified as held for sale, as of June 30, 2023).

5. Investments

Unconsolidated Investments

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had investments in five unconsolidated entities with real estate entities holdings, with ownership interest percentages ranging from 20.0% to 50.0%, coupled with other unconsolidated investments including property technology and environmentally focused companies and investment management funds. For one of the investments which is under development of which the Company has an investment of 25.0%, the Company has guaranteed a construction loan on behalf of the venture, which had an outstanding balance of $111,662,000 as of June 30, 2023. Any amounts under the guarantee of this construction loan are obligations of the venture partners in proportion to their ownership interest. The Company accounts for its unconsolidated investments under the equity method of accounting or under the measurement alternative with the carrying amount of the investment adjusted to fair value when there is an observable transaction for the same or similar investment of the same issuer indicating a change in fair value. The significant accounting policies of the Company's unconsolidated investments are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects. Certain of these investments are subject to various buy‑sell provisions or other rights which are customary in real estate joint venture agreements. The Company and its partners in these entities may initiate these provisions to either sell the Company's interest or acquire the interest from the Company's partner.

The Company also has an equity interest of 28.6% in the Archstone Multifamily Partners AC LP (the "U.S. Fund") and upon achievement of a threshold return, which has been met, the Company has a right to incentive distributions for its promoted interest based on the returns earned by the U.S. Fund. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income of $1,072,000 for its promoted interest which is included in income from unconsolidated investments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The U.S. Fund sold its final three communities in 2022 and is in the process of being dissolved.

Structured Investment Program

The Company has its Structured Investment Program (the “SIP”), an investment platform through which the Company provides mezzanine loans or preferred equity to third-party multifamily developers in the Company's existing markets. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to fund three mezzanine loans of up to $92,375,000 in the aggregate. The mezzanine loans have a weighted average rate of return of 9.8% and mature at various dates on or before June 2026. At June 30, 2023, the Company had funded $55,869,000 of these commitments.

The Company evaluates each SIP commitment to determine the classification as a loan or an investment in a real estate development project. As of June 30, 2023, all of the SIP commitments are classified as loans. The Company includes amounts outstanding under the SIP as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company evaluates the credit risk for each loan on an ongoing basis, estimating the reserve for credit losses using relevant available information from internal and external sources. Market-based historical credit loss data provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, with adjustments, if necessary, for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as the amount of equity capital provided by a borrower, nature of the real estate being developed or other factors.

For the three existing loans, interest is recognized as earned as interest income, and interest income and any change in the expected credit loss are included as a component of income from unconsolidated investments, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Expensed Transaction, Development and Other Pursuit Costs

The Company capitalizes costs associated with its development activities when future development is probable ("Development Rights") to the basis of land held, or if the Company has either not yet acquired the land or if the project is subject to a leasehold interest, the costs are capitalized as deferred development costs. Future development of these Development Rights is dependent upon various factors, including zoning and regulatory approval, rental market conditions, construction costs and the availability of capital. Costs incurred for pursuits for which future development is not yet considered probable are expensed as incurred. In addition, if the Company determines a Development Right is no longer probable, the Company recognizes any necessary expense to write down its basis in the Development Right. The Company expensed costs related to development pursuits not yet considered probable for development and the abandonment of Development Rights, as well as costs incurred in pursuing the acquisition or disposition of assets for which such acquisition and disposition activity did not occur, in the amounts of $1,261,000 and $2,364,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4,253,000 and $3,351,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. These costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Casualty Loss

The Company evaluates its real estate and other long-lived assets for impairment when potential indicators of impairment exist. Such assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, the Company assesses its recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Based on periodic tests of recoverability of long-lived assets, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any material impairment losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a charge of $5,051,000 for the property and casualty damages across certain communities in its Northeast and California regions related to severe weather, reported as casualty loss on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Company evaluates its for-sale condominium inventory for potential indicators of impairment, considering whether the fair value of the individual for-sale condominium units exceeds the carrying value of those units. For-sale condominium inventory is stated at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its for-sale condominium inventory as the estimated sales price less direct costs to sell. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment losses on its for-sale condominium inventory.

The Company assesses its portfolio of land held for both development and investment for impairment if the intent of the Company changes with respect to either the development of, or the expected holding period for, the land. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on its investment in land.

The Company evaluates its unconsolidated investments for other than temporary impairment, considering both the extent and amount by which the carrying value of the investment exceeds the fair value, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment to recover its carrying value. The Company also evaluates its proportionate share of any impairment of assets held by unconsolidated investments. There were no other than temporary impairment losses recognized for any of the Company's unconsolidated investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

8. Segment Reporting

The Company's reportable operating segments include Same Store, Other Stabilized and Development/Redevelopment. Annually as of January 1, the Company determines which of its communities fall into each of these categories and generally maintains that classification throughout the year for the purpose of reporting segment operations, unless disposition or redevelopment plans regarding a community change. In addition, the Company owns land for future development and has other corporate assets that are not allocated to an operating segment.

The Company's segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") for assessing each segment's performance. The Company's CODM is comprised of several members of its executive management team who use net operating income ("NOI") as the primary financial measure for Same Store communities and Other Stabilized communities. NOI is defined by the Company as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excluding corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, net, general and administrative expense, income from unconsolidated investments, depreciation expense, income tax (benefit) expense, casualty loss, gain on sale of communities, other real estate activity and net operating income from real estate assets sold or held for sale. The CODM evaluates the Company's financial performance on a consolidated residential and commercial basis. The commercial results attributable to the non-apartment components of the Company's mixed-use communities and other nonresidential operations represent 1.8% and 1.7% of total NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.8% and 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Although the Company considers NOI a useful measure of a community's or communities' operating performance, NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI excludes a number of income and expense categories as detailed in the reconciliation of NOI to net income.

A reconciliation of NOI to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

The following is a summary of NOI from real estate assets sold or held for sale for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):


	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Rental income from real estate assets sold or held for sale	$	5,989	$	18,203	$	12,649	$	39,023

Net operating income from real estate assets sold or held for sale	$	3,977	$	12,252	$	8,781	$	25,521

The primary performance measure for communities under development or redevelopment depends on the stage of completion. While under development, management monitors actual construction costs against budgeted costs as well as lease-up pace and rent levels compared to budget.

The Company used a Monte Carlo model to assess the compensation cost associated with the portion of the performance awards granted for which achievement will be determined by using total shareholder return measures. For the awards granted in 2023, the assumptions used are as follows:


						2023
Dividend yield						3.7%
Estimated volatility over the life of the plan (1)						22.9% - 26.1%
Risk free rate						4.35% - 4.61%
Estimated performance award value based on total shareholder return measure						$206.97

__________________________________

(1)Estimated volatility over the life of the plan is using 50% historical volatility and 50% implied volatility.

For the portion of the performance awards granted in 2023 for which achievement will be determined by using financial metrics, the compensation cost was based on an average grant date value of $177.85, and the Company's estimate of corporate achievement for the financial metrics.

10. Related Party Arrangements

Unconsolidated Entities

The Company manages unconsolidated real estate entities and may provide other real estate related services to third parties, for which it receives asset management, property management, construction, development and redevelopment fee revenue. From these entities, the Company earned fees of $2,712,000 and $904,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3,778,000 and $1,656,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had outstanding receivables associated with its property and construction management roles of $3,387,000 and $2,855,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

11. Fair Value

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses Hedging Derivatives to manage its interest rate risk. These instruments are carried at fair value in the Company's financial statements. The Company minimizes its credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions which have an A or better credit rating by the Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, and monitors the credit ratings of counterparties and the exposure of the Company to any single entity. The Company believes the likelihood of realizing losses from counterparty nonperformance is remote. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as interest rate, term to maturity and volatility, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2023, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined it is not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the consolidated derivative positions at June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):


	Non-designated Hedges			Cash Flow Hedges
	Interest Rate Caps			Interest Rate Swaps
Notional balance	$	402,670		$	250,000
Weighted average interest rate (1)	5.6		%	N/A
Weighted average capped/swapped interest rate	6.1		%	3.1		%
Earliest maturity date	January 2024			December 2023
Latest maturity date	November 2026			February 2024

____________________________________

(1)For debt hedged by interest rate caps, represents the weighted average interest rate on the hedged debt prior to any impact of the associated interest rate caps.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into $50,000,000 and $250,000,000, respectively, of new forward interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of variability in interest rates on a portion of the Company's anticipated future debt issuance activity in 2023 and 2024. The Company expects to cash settle the swaps and either pay or receive cash for the then current fair value. Assuming that the Company issues the debt as expected, the hedging impact from these positions will then be recognized over the life of the issued debt as a yield adjustment.

The Company had five derivatives not designated as hedges at June 30, 2023 for which the fair value changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were not material.

Cash flow hedge losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were $354,000 and $1,013,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $708,000 and $2,026,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company anticipates reclassifying approximately $1,415,000 of net hedging losses from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months as an offset to the hedged item during this period.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 7,500 DownREIT units were redeemed with cash in conjunction with the sale of Avalon at Newton Highlands. Under the DownREIT agreement, for each limited partnership unit, the limited partner is entitled to receive cash in the amount equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on or about the date of redemption. In lieu of cash redemption, the Company may elect to exchange such units for an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock. The limited partnership units in the DownREIT are valued using the market price of the Company's common stock, a Level 1 price under the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities

The Company has direct equity investments in property technology and environmentally focused companies. These investments are accounted for using the measurement alternative and are valued at the market price of observable transactions, a Level 2 price under the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalent balances are held with various financial institutions within accounts designed to preserve principal. The Company monitors credit ratings of these financial institutions and the concentration of cash and cash equivalent balances with any one financial institution and believes the likelihood of realizing material losses related to cash and cash equivalent balances is remote. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values and are Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Other Financial Instruments

Rents and other receivables and prepaid expenses, accounts and construction payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values. The Company determined that its notes receivables approximate fair value, because interest rates, yields and other terms are consistent with interest rates, yields and other terms currently available for similar instruments and are considered to be a Level 2 price within the fair value hierarchy.

Indebtedness

The Company values its fixed rate unsecured notes using quoted market prices, a Level 1 price within the fair value hierarchy. The Company values its mortgage notes payable, variable rate unsecured notes, including the Term Loan, and any outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The process also considers credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the Company's nonperformance risk. The Company has concluded that the value of its mortgage notes payable, variable rate unsecured notes, Term Loan and any outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program are Level 2 prices as the majority of the inputs used to value its positions fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Executive Overview

Business Description

We develop, redevelop, acquire, own and operate multifamily apartment communities in New England, the New York/New Jersey metro area, the Mid-Atlantic, the Pacific Northwest, and Northern and Southern California, as well as in our expansion regions of Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte, North Carolina, Southeast Florida, Dallas and Austin, Texas, and Denver, Colorado. We focus on leading metropolitan areas that we believe are characterized by growing employment in high wage sectors of the economy, higher cost of home ownership and a diverse and vibrant quality of life. We believe these market characteristics have offered, and will continue to offer, the opportunity for superior risk-adjusted returns over the long-term on apartment community investments relative to other markets that do not have these characteristics. We seek to create long-term shareholder value by accessing cost effective capital; deploying that capital to develop, redevelop and acquire apartment communities in our markets; leveraging our strong operating organization, our culture, our scale and our competencies in technology and data science, to operate apartment communities; and selling communities when they no longer meet our long-term investment strategy or when pricing is attractive.

Our strategic vision is to be the leading apartment company in select U.S. markets, providing a range of distinctive living experiences that customers value. We pursue this vision by targeting what we believe are among the best markets and submarkets, leveraging our strategic capabilities in market research and consumer insight with disciplined capital allocation and balance sheet management. Our communities are predominately upscale and generally command among the highest rents in their markets. However, we also pursue the ownership and operation of apartment communities that target a variety of customer segments and price points, consistent with our goal of offering a broad range of products and services. We regularly evaluate the market allocation of our investments by current market value and share of total revenue and NOI, as well as relative asset value and submarket positioning.

Second Quarter 2023 Operating Highlights

•Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $367,923,000, an increase of $229,232,000, or 165.3%, from the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in real estate sales and related gains and NOI from communities over the prior year period.

•Same Store NOI attributable to our apartment rental operations, including parking and other ancillary residential revenue ("Residential"), for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $435,057,000, an increase of $22,207,000, or 5.4%, over the prior year period. The increase over the prior year period was due to an increase in Residential rental revenue of $37,080,000, or 6.3%, partially offset by an increase in Residential property operating expenses of $14,769,000, or 8.2%.

Second Quarter 2023 Development Highlights

At June 30, 2023, we owned or held a direct or indirect interest in:

•17 wholly-owned communities under construction, which are expected to contain 5,761 apartment homes with a projected total capitalized cost of $2,293,000,000, and one unconsolidated community under construction, which is expected to contain 475 apartment homes with a projected total capitalized cost of $288,000,000.

Table of Contents

•Land or rights to land on which we expect to develop an additional 43 apartment communities that, if developed as expected, will contain 14,993 apartment homes and will be developed for an aggregate projected total capitalized cost of $6,795,000,000.

Second Quarter 2023 Real Estate Transaction Highlights

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold two wholly-owned communities containing 489 apartment homes for $237,000,000 for a gain in accordance with GAAP of $187,341,000.

In addition, in July 2023, we sold Avalon Columbia Pike, located in Arlington, VA. Avalon Columbia Pike contains 269 apartment homes and 27,000 square feet of commercial space and was sold for $105,000,000.

Communities Overview

Our real estate investments consist primarily of current operating apartment communities ("Current Communities"), consolidated and unconsolidated communities in various stages of development ("Development" communities and "Unconsolidated Development" communities) and Development Rights (as defined below). Our Current Communities are further classified as Same Store communities, Other Stabilized communities, Redevelopment communities and Unconsolidated communities. While we generally establish the classification of communities on an annual basis, we update the classification of communities during the calendar year to the extent that our plans with regard to the disposition or redevelopment of a community change. The following is a description of each category:

Current Communities are categorized as Same Store, Other Stabilized, Redevelopment, or Unconsolidated according to the following attributes:

•Same Store is composed of consolidated communities where a comparison of operating results from the prior year to the current year is meaningful as these communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy as of the beginning of the respective prior year period. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Same Store communities are consolidated for financial reporting purposes, had stabilized occupancy as of January 1, 2022, are not conducting or are not probable to conduct substantial redevelopment activities and are not held for sale as of June 30, 2023 or probable for disposition to unrelated third parties within the current year. A community is considered to have stabilized occupancy at the earlier of (i) attainment of 90% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment.

•Other Stabilized is composed of completed consolidated communities that we own and that are not Same Store but which have stabilized occupancy, as defined above, as of January 1, 2023, or which were acquired subsequent to January 1, 2022. Other Stabilized excludes communities that are conducting or are probable to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year, as defined below.

•Redevelopment is composed of consolidated communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is probable to begin during the current year. Redevelopment is considered substantial when (i) capital invested is expected to exceed the lesser of $5,000,000 or 10% of the community's pre-redevelopment basis and (ii) physical occupancy is below or is expected to be below 90% during, or as a result of, the redevelopment activity.

•Unconsolidated is composed of communities that we have an indirect ownership interest in through our investment interest in an unconsolidated joint venture.

Development is composed of consolidated communities that are either currently under construction, were under construction and were completed during the current year or where construction has been complete for less than one year and that did not have stabilized occupancy as of January 1, 2023. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating.

Unconsolidated Development is composed of communities that are either currently under construction, or were under construction and were completed during the current year, in which we have an indirect ownership interest through our investment interest in an unconsolidated joint venture. These communities may be partially or fully complete and operating.

Table of Contents

Development Rights are development opportunities in the early phase of the development process where we either have an option to acquire land or enter into a leasehold interest, where we are the buyer under a long-term conditional contract to purchase land, where we control the land through a ground lease or own land to develop a new community, or where we are the designated developer in a public-private partnership. We capitalize related pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new developments for which we currently believe future development is probable.

We currently lease our corporate headquarters located in Arlington, Virginia, as well as our other regional and administrative offices, under operating leases.

As of June 30, 2023, communities that we owned or held a direct or indirect interest in were classified as follows:

Results of Operations

Our year-over-year operating performance is primarily affected by both overall and individual geographic market conditions and apartment fundamentals and is reflected in changes in Same Store NOI; NOI derived from acquisitions, development completions and development under construction and in lease-up; loss of NOI related to disposed communities; and capital market and financing activity. A comparison of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows (unaudited, dollars in thousands).

Table of Contents

NOI is considered by management to be an important and appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different financing and overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead as a result of acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. We define NOI as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excluding corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, net, general and administrative expense, income from unconsolidated investments, depreciation expense, income tax (benefit) expense, casualty loss, gain on sale of communities, other real estate activity and net operating income from real estate assets sold or held for sale.

NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. NOI should also not be considered an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities, as determined by GAAP, as a measure of liquidity, nor is NOI indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. Residential NOI represents results attributable to our apartment rental operations, including parking and other ancillary residential revenue. Reconciliations of NOI and Residential NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 to net income for each period are as follows (unaudited, dollars in thousands):

The increase in our Same Store Residential NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is due to an increase in Residential rental revenue of $37,080,000, or 6.3%, and $90,737,000 or 7.8%, respectively, partially offset by an increase in Residential property operating expenses of $14,769,000, or 8.2%, and $27,547,000, or 7.7%, over the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Rental and other income increased $44,493,000, or 6.9%, and $104,961,000, or 8.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the increased rental revenue from our stabilized wholly-owned communities, discussed below.

Consolidated Communities — The weighted average number of occupied apartment homes for consolidated communities increased to 77,507 apartment homes for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 77,225 homes for the prior year period. The weighted average monthly rental revenue per occupied apartment home increased to $2,922 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2,709 in the prior year period.

(1) Economic Occupancy considers that apartment homes of different sizes and locations within a community have different economic impacts on a community's gross revenue. Economic Occupancy is defined as gross potential revenue less vacancy loss, as a percentage of gross potential revenue. Gross potential revenue is determined by valuing occupied homes at leased rates and vacant homes at market rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current market rents.

The following table details the increase in Same Store Residential rental revenue by component, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year periods (unaudited):

Table of Contents

The increase for Same Store Residential rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year periods, was impacted by uncollectible lease revenue, net of amounts received from government rent relief programs. Same Store uncollectible lease revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023 by $6,609,000 and increased for the six months ended June 30, 2023 by $9,442,000. The increase in uncollectible lease revenue was due to a decrease in government rent relief of $13,242,000 and $24,377,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from the prior year periods. Adjusting to remove the impact of rent relief, uncollectible lease revenue as a percentage of Same Store Residential rental revenue decreased to 2.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusting to remove the impact of rent relief, uncollectible lease revenue as a percentage of Same Store Residential rental revenue decreased to 2.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 4.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In 2022 and early 2023, we were named as a defendant in cases alleging antitrust violations by RealPage, Inc. and owners and/or operators of multifamily housing which utilize revenue management systems provided by RealPage, Inc. We engaged with the plaintiffs' counsel to explain why we believe that these cases are without merit as they pertain to us. Following these discussions, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal in July 2023, which resulted in us being dismissed without prejudice from these cases. We are not currently a defendant of any other cases with similar allegations.

Management, development and other fees increased $1,808,000, or 200.0%, and $2,122,000, or 128.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to development fees for work performed on previously disposed land adjacent to one of our Development Communities and revenue from a third-party servicing agreement we entered into for our centralized service center to provide comprehensive back-office, financial administrative support services in the current year periods.

Direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, increased $13,315,000, or 10.7%, and $23,835,000 or 9.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the addition of newly developed apartment communities as well as increased operating expenses at our Same Store communities as discussed below.

Same Store Residential direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, represents substantially all of total Same Store direct operating expenses, excluding property taxes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Same Store Residential direct property operating expenses, excluding property taxes, increased $11,466,000, or 9.9%, and $21,274,000, or 9.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to increased utilities, maintenance costs, bad debt associated with resident expense reimbursements and legal and eviction costs as restrictions on managing delinquent accounts are eased or expire.

Property taxes increased $4,122,000, or 5.8%, and $7,880,000, or 5.6%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the addition of newly developed apartment communities, increased assessments for our stabilized portfolio and the expiration of property tax incentive programs primarily at certain of our properties in New York City, partially offset by decreased property taxes from dispositions.

Same Store Residential property taxes represents substantially all of total Same Store property taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Same Store Residential property taxes increased $3,303,000, or 5.1%, and $6,273,000, or 4.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, due to increased assessments across the portfolio, successful appeals in the respective prior year periods and the expiration of property tax incentive programs primarily at certain of our properties in New York City.

Corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses increased $3,144,000, or 5.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased costs related to initiatives to improve future efficiency in services for residents and prospects and investments in technology as well as increased compensation related costs.

Expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries primarily reflect costs incurred for development pursuits not yet considered probable for development, as well as write downs and abandonment of Development Rights and costs related to abandoned acquisition and disposition pursuits, offset by any recoveries of costs incurred. In periods of increased acquisition pursuit activity, periods of economic downturn or when there is limited access to capital, these costs can be volatile and may vary significantly from year to year. In addition, the timing for potential recoveries will not always align with the timing for expensing an abandoned pursuit. Expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, decreased $1,103,000 and increased $902,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

Interest expense, net decreased $7,212,000, or 12.3%, and $6,917,000, or 6.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. This category includes interest costs offset by capitalized interest pertaining to development and redevelopment activity, amortization of premium/discount on debt, interest income and any mark-to-market impact from derivatives not in qualifying hedge relationships. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due an increase in interest income from an increase in both cash amounts invested and the return on investments and capitalized interest, partially offset by the increase in variable rates on unsecured and secured indebtedness.

Depreciation expense increased $1,244,000, or 0.6%, and $4,201,000, or 1.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the addition of newly developed apartment communities, partially offset by dispositions.

General and administrative expense decreased $3,615,000, or 17.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in compensation related expenses including expenses related to executive transition compensation costs in the current year period.

Casualty loss of $5,051,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is due to charges recognized for the damages across certain of our communities in our Northeast and California regions related to severe weather.

Income from unconsolidated investments increased $2,490,000 and $7,018,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to unrealized gains on property technology investments recognized in the current year periods and the recognition of $1,072,000 for our promoted interest associated with the achievement of a threshold return with the U.S. Fund in the current year periods.

Gain on sale of communities increased $186,918,000 and $38,105,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The amount of gain realized in a given period depends on many factors, including the number of communities sold, the size and carrying value of the communities sold and the market conditions in the local area. The gains of $187,322,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily due to the sale of two wholly-owned communities. The gain of $149,204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the sale of three wholly-owned communities.

Income tax benefit (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is an expense of $3,343,000 and $2,312,000, respectively, primarily related to The Park Loggia.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Reconciliation of FFO and Core FFO

FFO and FFO adjusted for non-core items, or “Core FFO,” as defined below, are generally considered by management to be appropriate supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance.

Consistent with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts® ("Nareit"), we calculate Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders ("FFO") as net income or loss attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for:

•gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities;

•cumulative effect of change in accounting principle;

•impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets;

•write-downs of investments in affiliates due to a decrease in the value of depreciable real estate assets held by those affiliates;

•depreciation of real estate assets; and

•similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, including those from a change in control.

FFO can help with the comparison of the operating and financial performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies because the adjustments such as (i) excluding gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated property or (ii) real estate depreciation may impact comparability as the amount and timing of these or similar items can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates. By further adjusting for items that we do not consider part of our core business operations, Core FFO can help with the comparison of our core operating performance year over year. We believe that, in order to understand our operating results, FFO and Core FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents

We calculate Core FFO as FFO, adjusted for:

•joint venture gains (if not adjusted through FFO), non-core costs and promoted interests from partnerships;

•casualty and impairment losses or gains, net on non-depreciable real estate or other investments;

•gains or losses from early extinguishment of consolidated borrowings;

•expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries;

•third-party business interruption insurance proceeds and the related lost NOI that is covered by the expected third party business interruption insurance proceeds;

•property and casualty insurance proceeds and legal settlement activity;

•gains or losses on sales of assets not subject to depreciation and other investment gains or losses;

•advocacy contributions, representing payments to promote our business interests;

•hedge ineffectiveness or gains or losses from derivatives not designated as hedges for accounting purposes;

•expected credit losses associated with the lending commitments under the SIP;

•severance related costs;

•executive transition compensation costs;

•net for-sale condominium activity, including gains, marketing, operating and administrative costs and imputed carry cost; and

•income taxes.

FFO and Core FFO do not represent net income in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income, which remains the primary measure, as an indication of our performance. In addition, FFO and Core FFO as calculated by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and Core FFO.

The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders and to Core FFO attributable to common stockholders (unaudited, dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1)Amounts consist primarily of net unrealized gains on technology investments.

(2)Amount is for our recognition of our promoted interest in the U.S. Fund.

(3)Amounts are the expected credit losses associated with the lending commitments under our SIP. The timing and amount of actual losses that will be incurred, if any, is to be determined.

(4)Represents the imputed carry cost of for-sale residential condominiums at The Park Loggia. We computed this adjustment by multiplying the total capitalized cost of completed and unsold for-sale residential condominiums by our weighted average unsecured debt rate.

(5)Amounts are primarily for the recognition of taxes associated with The Park Loggia.

FFO and Core FFO also do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP, as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, it is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We employ a disciplined approach to our liquidity and capital management. When we source capital, we take into account both our view of the most cost effective alternative available and our desire to maintain a balance sheet that provides us with flexibility. Our principal focus on near-term and intermediate-term liquidity is to ensure we have adequate capital to fund:

•development and redevelopment activity in which we are currently engaged or in which we plan to engage;

•the minimum dividend payments on our common stock required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Code;

•debt service and principal payments either at maturity or opportunistically before maturity;

•normal recurring operating and corporate overhead expenses; and

•investment in our operating platform, including strategic investments.

Factors affecting our liquidity and capital resources are our cash flows from operations, financing activities and investing activities (including dispositions) as well as general economic and market conditions. Cash flows from operations are determined by operating activities and factors including but not limited to (i) the number of apartment homes currently owned, (ii) rental rates, (iii) occupancy levels, (iv) uncollectible lease revenue levels or interruptions in collections caused by market conditions and (v) operating expenses with respect to apartment homes. The timing and type of capital markets activity in which we engage is affected by changes in the capital markets environment, such as changes in interest rates or the availability of cost-effective capital. Our plans for development, redevelopment, non-routine capital expenditure, acquisition and disposition activity are affected by market conditions and capital availability. We frequently review our liquidity needs, especially in periods with volatile market conditions, as well as the adequacy of cash flows from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs.

We had cash, cash equivalents and cash in escrow of $946,998,000 at June 30, 2023, an increase of $212,753,000 from $734,245,000 at December 31, 2022. The following discussion relates to changes in cash, cash equivalents and cash in escrow due to operating, investing and financing activities.

A presentation of GAAP based cash flow metrics is as follows (unaudited, dollars in thousands):


	For the six months ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	742,579	$	640,048
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(297,877)	$	(356,508)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(231,949)	$	(567,137)

•Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to increases in NOI.

•Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to (i) investment of $453,139,000 in the development and redevelopment of communities and (ii) capital expenditures of $81,852,000 for our wholly-owned communities and non-real estate assets. These amounts were partially offset by net proceeds from the disposition of two operating communities and the sale of for-sale residential condominiums of $252,904,000.

Table of Contents

•Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to (i) payment of cash dividends in the amount of $454,323,000 and (ii) the repayment of the $250,000,000 fixed rate unsecured notes. These amounts were partially offset by the settlement of the Equity Forward for $491,912,000.

Variable Rate Unsecured Credit Facility

The $2,250,000,000 Credit Facility matures in September 2026. The interest rate that would be applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facility is 6.12% at July 31, 2023 and is composed of (i) SOFR plus (ii) the current borrowing spread to SOFR of 0.805% per annum, which consists of a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus 0.705% per annum, assuming a daily SOFR borrowing rate. The borrowing spread to SOFR can vary from SOFR plus 0.63% to SOFR plus 1.38% based upon the rating of our unsecured and unsubordinated long-term indebtedness. There is also an annual facility commitment fee of 0.12% of the borrowing capacity under the facility, which can vary from 0.095% to 0.295% based upon the rating of our unsecured and unsubordinated long-term indebtedness. The Credit Facility contains a sustainability-linked pricing component which provides for interest rate margin and commitment fee reductions or increases by meeting or missing targets related to environmental sustainability, specifically greenhouse gas emission reductions, with the adjustment determined annually. The first determination under the sustainability-linked pricing component occurred in July 2023, resulting in reductions of approximately 0.02% to the interest rate margin and 0.005% to the commitment fee, until the next determination that is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2024, due to our achievement of sustainability targets.

The availability on the Credit Facility as of July 31, 2023 is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	July 31, 2023

Credit Facility commitment	$	2,250,000
Credit Facility outstanding	—
Commercial paper outstanding	—
Letters of credit outstanding (1)	(1,914)
Total Credit Facility available	$	2,248,086

_____________________________________

(1)In addition, we had $52,682 outstanding in additional letters of credit unrelated to the Credit Facility as of July 31, 2023.

Commercial Paper Program

We have a Commercial Paper Program with the maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $500,000,000. The Commercial Paper Program is backstopped by our commitment to maintain available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility in an amount equal to actual borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program. As of July 31, 2023, we did not have any amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.

Financial Covenants

We are subject to financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility and the Commercial Paper Program, Term Loan and the indentures under which our unsecured notes were issued. The principal financial covenants include the following:

•limitations on the amount of total and secured debt in relation to our overall capital structure;

•limitations on the amount of our unsecured debt relative to the undepreciated basis of real estate assets that are not encumbered by property-specific financing; and

•minimum levels of debt service coverage.

We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2023.

In addition, some of our secured borrowings include yield maintenance, defeasance, or prepayment penalty provisions, which would result in us incurring an additional charge in the event of a full or partial prepayment of outstanding principal before the scheduled maturity. These provisions in our secured borrowings are generally consistent with other similar types of debt instruments issued during the same time period in which our borrowings were secured.

Table of Contents

Continuous Equity Offering Program

Under the CEP, we may sell (and/or enter into forward sale agreements for the sale of) up to $1,000,000,000 of our common stock from time to time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and through July 31, 2023, we did not have any sales under this program. As of July 31, 2023, we had $705,961,000 remaining authorized for issuance under this program.

Forward Equity Offering

In addition to the CEP, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, we settled the Equity Forward issuing 2,000,000 shares of common stock, net of offering fees and discounts, for $491,912,000 or $245.96 per share.

Stock Repurchase Program

Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we may acquire shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions up to an aggregate purchase price of $500,000,000. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 4,800 and 11,800 shares of common stock, respectively, at an average price of $162.93 per share and $161.96 per share, respectively. In July 2023 through July 31, 2023, we had no repurchases of shares under this program. As of July 31, 2023, we had $314,237,000 remaining authorized for purchase under this program.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we entered into $50,000,000 and $250,000,000, respectively, of new forward interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of variability in interest rates on a portion of our anticipated future debt issuance activity in 2023 and 2024. We expect to cash settle the swaps and either pay or receive cash for the then current fair value. Assuming that we issue the debt as expected, the hedging impact from these positions will then be recognized over the life of the issued debt as a yield adjustment.

Future Financing and Capital Needs — Debt Maturities and Material Obligations

One of our principal long-term liquidity needs is the repayment of long-term debt at maturity. For both our unsecured and secured notes, a portion of the principal of these notes may be repaid prior to maturity. Early retirement of our unsecured or secured notes could result in gains or losses on extinguishment. If we do not have funds on hand sufficient to repay our indebtedness as it becomes due, it will be necessary for us to refinance or otherwise provide liquidity to satisfy the debt at maturity. This refinancing may be accomplished by uncollateralized private or public debt offerings, equity issuances, additional debt financing that is secured by mortgages on individual communities or groups of communities or borrowings under our Credit Facility or Commercial Paper Program. In addition, to the extent we have amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program, we are obligated to repay the short-term indebtedness at maturity through either current cash on hand or by incurring other indebtedness, including by way of borrowing under our Credit Facility. Although we believe we will have the capacity to meet our currently anticipated liquidity needs, we cannot assure you that capital from additional debt financing or debt or equity offerings will be available or, if available, that they will be on terms we consider satisfactory.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repaid $250,000,000 principal amount of our 2.85% unsecured notes upon maturity.

The following table details our consolidated debt obligations, including the effective interest rate and contractual maturity dates, and principal payments for periodic amortization and maturities for the next five years, excluding our Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program and amounts outstanding related to communities classified as held for sale, for debt outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands). We are not directly or indirectly (as borrower or guarantor) obligated in any material respect to pay principal or interest on the indebtedness of any unconsolidated entities in which we have an equity or other interest other than as disclosed related to the AVA Arts District construction loan (see "Unconsolidated Investments - Development Communities" for further discussion of the construction loan).

Future Financing and Capital Needs — Portfolio and Capital Markets Activity

We invest in various real estate and real estate related investments, which include (i) the acquisition, development and redevelopment of communities both wholly-owned and through the formation of joint ventures, (ii) other indirect investments in real estate through the SIP, all as discussed further below and (iii) investments in other real estate-related ventures through direct and indirect investments in property technology and environmentally focused companies and investment management funds.

In 2023, we expect to continue to meet our liquidity needs from one or more of a variety of internal and external sources, which may include (i) real estate dispositions, (ii) cash balances on hand as well as cash generated from our operating activities, (iii) borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, (iv) borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program and (v) secured and unsecured debt financings. Additional sources of liquidity in 2023 may include the issuance of common and preferred equity, including the issuance of shares of our common stock under the CEP. Our ability to obtain additional financing will depend on a variety of factors, such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to the real estate industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the perception of lenders regarding our long or short-term financial prospects.

Before beginning new construction or reconstruction activity, including activity related to communities owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, we plan to source sufficient capital to complete these undertakings, although we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing. In the event that financing cannot be obtained, we may abandon Development Rights, write-off associated pre-development costs that were capitalized and/or forego reconstruction activity. In such instances, we will not realize the increased revenues and earnings that we expected from such Development Rights or reconstruction activity and significant losses could be incurred.

From time to time we use joint ventures to hold or develop individual real estate assets. We generally employ joint ventures to mitigate asset concentration or market risk and secondarily as a source of liquidity. We may also use joint ventures related to mixed-use land development opportunities and new markets where our partners bring development and operational expertise and/or experience to the venture. Each joint venture or partnership agreement has been individually negotiated, and our ability to operate and/or dispose of a community in our sole discretion may be limited to varying degrees depending on the terms of the joint venture or partnership agreement. We cannot assure you that we will achieve our objectives through joint ventures.

In addition, we may invest, through mezzanine loans or other preferred equity investments, in multifamily development projects being undertaken by third parties. In these cases, we do not expect to acquire the underlying real estate but rather to earn a return on our investment (through interest or fixed rate preferred equity returns) and a return of the invested capital generally following completion of construction either on or before a set due date.

In evaluating our allocation of capital within our markets, we sell assets that do not meet our long-term investment criteria or when capital and real estate markets allow us to realize a portion of the value created over our ownership periods and redeploy the proceeds from those sales to develop and redevelop communities. Because the proceeds from the sale of communities may not be immediately redeployed into revenue generating assets that we develop, redevelop or acquire, the immediate effect of a sale of a community for a gain is to increase net income, but reduce future total revenues, total expenses and NOI until such time as the proceeds have been redeployed into revenue generating assets. We believe that the temporary absence of future cash flows from communities sold will not have a material impact on our ability to fund future liquidity and capital resource needs.

(1)We have not guaranteed the debt of these unconsolidated investees and bear no responsibility for the repayment unless otherwise disclosed.

(2)Borrowing on this community is comprised of two mortgage loans. The interest rate is the weighted average interest rate as of June 30, 2023.

(3)Borrowing on this dual-branded community is comprised of a single mortgage loan. This dual-branded community is subject to a leasehold interest which is not included in the total capitalized cost.

(4)In addition to leasehold assets, there were net other assets of $37,641 as of June 30, 2023 associated with our unconsolidated real estate investments which are primarily cash and cash equivalents.

We have an equity interest of 28.6% in the U.S. Fund and upon achievement of a threshold return, we have a right to incentive distributions for our promoted interest based on the returns earned by the U.S. Fund. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized income of $1,072,000 for our promoted interest included in income from unconsolidated investments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The U.S. Fund sold its final three communities in 2022 and is in the process of being dissolved.

_________________________________

(1)Projected total capitalized cost includes all capitalized costs projected to be or actually incurred to develop the respective Development Community, determined in accordance with GAAP, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, real estate taxes, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, as well as costs incurred for first generation commercial tenants such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

(2)Stabilized operations is defined as the earlier of (i) attainment of 90% or greater physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development.

(3)Communities being developed through our Developer Funding Program. We use the DFP to accelerate wholly-owned development in our expansion regions, by utilizing third-party multifamily developers to source and construct communities which we own and operate.

(4)Avalon Redmond Campus is a densification of the existing eaves Redmond Campus wholly-owned community, replacing 48 existing older apartment homes that were demolished.

(5)Development Communities containing at least 10,000 square feet of commercial space include Avalon West Windsor (19,000 square feet).

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we completed the development of the following wholly-owned communities:


		Number of apartment homes	Total capitalized cost (1) ($ millions)		Approximate rentable area (sq. ft.)	Total capitalized cost per sq. ft.
1.	Avalon Harrison (2) Harrison, NY	143	$	94	171,036	$	550
2.	Avalon Brighton Boston, MA	180	90		167,230	$	538
	Total	323	$	184

____________________________________

(1)Total capitalized cost is as of June 30, 2023. We generally anticipate incurring additional costs associated with these communities that are customary for new developments.

(2)Avalon Harrison contains 27,000 square feet of commercial space.

Development Rights

At June 30, 2023, we had $195,115,000 in acquisition and related capitalized costs for direct interests in eight land parcels we own. In addition, we had $71,421,000 in capitalized costs (including legal fees, design fees and related overhead costs) related to (i) 31 Development Rights for which we control the land parcel, typically through a conditional agreement or option to purchase or lease the land, as well as (ii) costs incurred for four Development Rights that we expect to construct as additional phases of our existing stabilized operating communities on land we own. Collectively, the land held for development and associated costs for deferred development rights relate to 43 Development Rights for which we expect to develop new apartment communities in the future. The Development Rights range from those beginning design and architectural planning to those that have completed site plans and drawings and can begin construction almost immediately. We estimate that the successful completion of all of these communities would ultimately add approximately 14,993 apartment homes to our portfolio. Substantially all of these apartment homes will offer features like those offered by the communities we currently own.

The Development Rights are in different stages of the due diligence and regulatory approval process. The decisions as to which of the Development Rights to invest in, if any, or to continue to pursue once an investment in a Development Right is made, are business judgments that we make after we perform financial, demographic and other analyses. In the event that we do not proceed with a Development Right, we generally would not recover any of the capitalized costs incurred in the pursuit of those communities, unless we were to recover amounts in connection with the sale of land; however, we cannot guarantee a recovery. Pre-development costs incurred in the pursuit of Development Rights for which future development is not yet considered probable are expensed as incurred. In addition, if the status of a Development Right changes, making future development no longer probable, any unrecoverable capitalized pre-development costs are charged to expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a charge of $1,261,000 and $4,253,000, respectively, for expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries, which include development pursuits that were not yet probable of future development at the time incurred, or for pursuits that we determined were no longer probable of being developed.

Structured Investment Program

In July 2023, we entered into an additional mezzanine loan commitment, agreeing to fund up to $20,900,000 of a multifamily development project in North Carolina. As of July 31, 2023, we had commitments to fund four mezzanine loans of up to $113,275,000 in the aggregate under the SIP in our existing markets. As of July 31, 2023, the mezzanine loans have a weighted average rate of return of 10.4% and mature at various dates on or before July 2027. As of July 31, 2023, we had funded $63,553,000 of these commitments. See Note 5, "Investments," of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

You should carefully review Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K, as well as the discussion under Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report, for a discussion of the risks associated with our investment activity.

Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion supplements and updates the disclosures under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations and Consequences of Your Investment” in the prospectus dated February 25, 2021 (the “Base Prospectus”) contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”), as supplemented by the discussion under the heading “Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.

Table of Contents

The second paragraph under the heading “—U.S. Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders-Distributions Attributable to Sale or Exchange of Real Property” in the Base Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Subject to the following paragraph, we will be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 21% (or the then applicable highest corporate rate of U.S. federal income tax) of any distributions to non-U.S. stockholders attributable to gain from our sale or exchange of U.S. real property interests. Under long-standing regulations, we also may be required to withhold on any distributions to non-U.S. stockholders that we designate as capital gain dividends, including any distributions that could have been designated as capital gain dividends. Amounts so withheld are creditable against the non-U.S. stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. A non-U.S. stockholder who receives distributions attributable to gain from a sale or exchange by us of U.S. real property interests will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify forward-looking statements by our use of the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "assume," "project," "plan," "may," "shall," "will," "pursue" and other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q, that predict or indicate future events and trends and that do not report historical matters. These statements include, among other things, statements regarding our intent, belief or expectations with respect to:

•our potential development, redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of communities;

•the timing and cost of completion of apartment communities under construction, reconstruction, development or redevelopment;

•the timing of lease-up, occupancy and stabilization of apartment communities;

•the pursuit of land on which we are considering future development;

•the anticipated operating performance of our communities;

•cost, yield, revenue, NOI and earnings estimates;

•the impact of landlord-tenant laws and rent regulations;

•our expansion into new markets;

•our declaration or payment of dividends;

•our joint venture and discretionary fund activities;

•our policies regarding investments, indebtedness, acquisitions, dispositions, financings and other matters;

•our qualification as a REIT under the Code;

•the real estate markets in Metro New York/New Jersey, Northern and Southern California, Denver, Colorado, Southeast Florida, Dallas and Austin, Texas and Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and markets in selected states in the Mid-Atlantic, New England and Pacific Northwest regions of the United States and in general;

•the availability of debt and equity financing;

•interest rates;

•general economic conditions, including the potential impacts from current economic conditions, including rising interest rates and general price inflation;

•trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations;

•regulatory changes that may affect us;

Table of Contents

•the impact of a pandemic or other public health event on our business, results of operations and financial condition; and

•the impact of legal proceedings.

We cannot assure the future results or outcome of the matters described in these statements; rather, these statements merely reflect our current expectations of the approximate outcomes of the matters discussed. We do not undertake a duty to update these forward-looking statements, and therefore they may not represent our estimates and assumptions after the date of this report. You should not rely on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully review the discussion under Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report, for further discussion of risks associated with forward-looking statements.

Some of the factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•we may fail to secure development opportunities due to an inability to reach agreements with third parties to obtain land at attractive prices or to obtain desired zoning and other local approvals;

•we may abandon or defer development opportunities for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions which make development less desirable, increases in costs of development, increases in the cost of capital or lack of capital availability, resulting in losses;

•construction costs of a community may exceed our original estimates;

•we may not complete construction and lease-up of communities under development or redevelopment on schedule, resulting in increased interest costs and construction costs and a decrease in our expected rental revenues;

•occupancy rates and market rents may be adversely affected by competition and local economic and market conditions which are beyond our control;

•financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and our cash flows from operations and access to cost effective capital may be insufficient for the development of our pipeline, which could limit our pursuit of opportunities;

•the impact of new landlord-tenant laws and rent regulations may be greater than we expect;

•an outbreak of disease or other public health event may affect the multifamily industry and general economy, including from measures taken by businesses and the government and the preferences of consumers and businesses for living and working arrangements both during and after such an event;

•our cash flows may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and we may be unable to refinance existing indebtedness or the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness;

•we may be unsuccessful in our management of joint ventures and the REIT vehicles that are used with certain joint ventures;

•laws and regulations implementing rent control or rent stabilization, or otherwise limiting our ability to increase rents, charge fees or evict tenants, may impact our revenue or increase our costs;

•our expectations, estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing regarding legal proceedings are subject to change;

•the possibility that we may choose to pay dividends in our stock instead of cash, which may result in stockholders having to pay taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash received, if any; and

Table of Contents

•investments made under the SIP in either mezzanine debt or preferred equity of third-party multifamily development may not be repaid as expected or the development may not be completed on schedule, which could require us to engage in litigation, foreclosure actions, and/or first party project completion to recover our investment, which may not be recovered in full or at all in such event.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements. Our critical accounting policies consist of the following: (i) cost capitalization and (ii) abandoned pursuit costs and asset impairment. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the discussion of our significant accounting policies found in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risk as disclosed in Part II, Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023.
