AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2007 OPERATING RESULTS
AND PROVIDES 2008 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
(Alexandria, VA) AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB) reported today that Net Income Available to Common Stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $129,644,000. This resulted in Earnings per Share — diluted (“EPS”) of $1.65 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, compared to $0.58 for the comparable period of 2006, a per share increase of 184.5%. For the year ended December 31, 2007, EPS was $4.38 compared to $3.42 for the comparable period of 2006, a per share increase of 28.1%. These increases are primarily attributable to an increase in gains from the sale of communities and joint venture real estate investments in 2007 as compared to 2006 and growth in income from existing and newly developed communities in 2007. Results discussed in this release for both 2007 and 2006 include non-cash charges associated with our change in the accounting for certain land leases.
Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders — diluted (“FFO”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $89,597,000, or $1.14 per share, compared to $79,894,000, or $1.05 per share for the comparable period of 2006. FFO per share increased 8.6%, due primarily to contributions from improved community operating results and newly developed communities, partially offset by an increase in the expense for abandoned pursuits discussed below.
FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 8.7% to $4.61 from $4.24 for the comparable period of 2006. FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, includes $0.01 and $0.18 per share, respectively, related to the sale of land parcels. Adjusting for these land sales in both years, FFO per share increased 13.4%, driven primarily by improved community operating results and contributions from newly developed communities.
FFO per share includes an increase in the expense for abandoned pursuits of approximately $3,881,000, or $0.05 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and $4,859,000, or $0.06 per share for the full year 2007 as compared to prior year periods.
Commenting on the Company’s results, Bryce Blair, Chairman and CEO, said, “Our fourth quarter results capped a year of solid financial and operational performance for the Company. FFO growth of 13.4% was the third straight year of growth above 10%. Heading into 2008, we anticipate a weaker economic environment but expect that a falling homeownership rate, favorable demographics and constrained supply will continue to drive positive renter demand in our markets. In anticipation of continued growth next year, we announced last evening that our Board raised our quarterly dividend by 5% for the first quarter. The Board also authorized a $200 million increase to our common stock repurchase program.”
Operating Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Prior Year Period
For the Company, including discontinued operations, total revenue increased by $19,156,000, or 9.9% to $212,956,000. For Established Communities, rental revenue increased 4.4%, comprised of an increase in Average Rental Rates of 4.5% and a decrease in Economic Occupancy of 0.1%.

First Quarter 2008 Dividend Declaration
The Company announced on February 5, 2008 that its Board of Directors declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2008 of $0.8925 per share of the Company’s common stock (par value $0.01 per share). The declared dividend is a 5.0% or $0.0425 per share increase over the Company’s prior quarterly dividend of $0.85 per share. The common stock dividend is payable on April 15, 2008 to common stockholders of record as of April 1, 2008.
Based on the Midpoint of the Projected FFO per share range provided later in this release, the new dividend rate results in an expected ratio of dividends per share to FFO per share of 71.0% for 2008.
In declaring the increased dividend, the Board of Directors evaluated the Company’s past performance and future prospects for earnings growth. Additional factors considered in determining the increase included current dividend distributions (both common and preferred dividends), the ratio of the current common dividend distribution to the Company’s FFO, the relationship of dividend distributions to taxable income, and expected growth in taxable income. Taxable income growth is not directly comparable to growth in FFO.
The Board of Directors also declared a dividend on the Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) (par value $0.01 per share) for the first quarter of 2008. The Preferred Stock dividend is $0.54375 per share and is payable June 16, 2008 to all Series H stockholders of record as of June 2, 2008.
Revised Accounting Interpretation
As discussed in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the Company made a change related to its accounting for land leases. This change resulted in a non-cash charge to operating expenses and reduced reported FFO by $0.03 and $0.13 per share from what would have been reported for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2007 under the Company’s prior accounting treatment. Results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2006 have also been restated, reducing reported FFO by $0.04 and $0.14 per share from what had previously been reported to reflect the impact of this change in land lease accounting.
2008 Financial Outlook
The following presents the Company’s financial outlook for 2008, the details of which are summarized on Attachment 15.
Third party forecasts generally expect weaker economic conditions during 2008 that suggests a slower rate of employment growth. While slower job growth will negatively impact renter demand, Management anticipates that renter demand will be favorably impacted by a continued reduction in homeownership rates and a general increase in the propensity to rent. Declining home ownership rates are the result of a number of factors, including concerns regarding home prices and economic growth, demographic growth in those age groups that have historically demonstrated a higher propensity to rent as well as tighter underwriting standards for mortgages. Management expects the level of new rental completions in the Company’s markets will decline modestly during 2008 from 2007 levels. Management expects competition from unsold housing inventory made available for rent will remain modest relative to more oversupplied residential markets in the U.S.
Projected EPS is expected to be within a range of $6.50 to $8.50 for the full year 2008. Actual EPS will be impacted by the size and nature of disposition activity for the year.
The Company expects 2008 Projected FFO per share to increase to a range of $4.90 to $5.20 as compared to $4.61 for the full year 2007, resulting in an increase in Projected FFO per share of approximately 9.5% at the mid-point of the range. The Company’s 2007 FFO per share of $4.61 included approximately $545,000 attributable to the gain on sale of a parcel of land. The 2008 Projected FFO includes costs of $3,765,000 previously deferred that are required to be expensed should the Company redeem the Preferred Stock in October 2008. Adjusting for these non-routine items, the Company expects 2008 Projected FFO per share growth of 10.7% at the mid-point of the range. No assurance can be provided that the Company will elect to redeem the Preferred Stock.
Management expects the increase in Projected FFO per share for the full year 2008 as compared to 2007 to be driven primarily by: (i) growth in NOI from Established Communities and other stabilized communities; (ii) an increase in NOI from development and redevelopment; and (iii) lower interest rates on variable rate debt.
For the first quarter of 2008, the Company expects Projected EPS within a range of $0.58 to $0.62. The Company expects Projected FFO per share for the first quarter of 2008 within a range of $1.23 to $1.27. Adjusting for the net impact of $545,000 from land sales included in the Company’s first quarter 2007 FFO per share of $1.11, Projected FFO per share growth in the first quarter of 2008 is expected to be 13.6% at the mid-point of the range.
The Company’s 2008 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions and estimates, which are provided on Attachment 15 of this release. The primary assumptions and estimates include the following:

(2)   These unconsolidated real estate investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. AVB Book Value Investment represents the Company’s recorded equity investment plus the Company’s pro rata share of outstanding debt.
 
(3)   This community’s debt is a combination of two separate fixed rate loans which both mature in August 2013. The first loan totals $18,154 at a 5.04% interest rate and was assumed by the Fund upon purchase of this community. The second loan was procured in connection with the acquisition in the amount of $5,652 at a 6.08% interest rate. The rate listed in the table above represents a weighted average interest rate.
 
(4)   As of December 31, 2007, these borrowings are drawn under an unsecured credit facility maturing in December 2008. There were no borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2007 under the Fund’s credit facility secured by uncalled capital commitments, which matured in January 2008. The 5.86% interest rate represents a weighted average for both facilities during the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
(5)   The Company has not guaranteed the debt of the Fund and bears no responsibility for the repayment.
 
(6)   After the venture makes certain threshold distributions to the third-party partner, the Company generally receives 50% of all further distributions.
 
(7)   Total Capital Cost for this community represents the capitalized costs incurred and projected to be incurred as part of the development completion, and is not the gross real estate cost as recorded by the joint venture as of December 31, 2007.
 
(8)   After the venture makes certain threshold distributions to the Company, AVB receives 50% of all further distributions.

Attachment 16
AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms
This release, including its attachments, contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms. The definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures referred to below should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered as an alternative measure of liquidity or as indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.
FFO is determined based on a definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is calculated by the Company as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for gains or losses on sales of previously depreciated operating communities, extraordinary gains or losses (as defined by GAAP), cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and depreciation of real estate assets, including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management generally considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of previously depreciated operating communities and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of FFO to net income is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Attachment 16 (continued)
Projected FFO, as provided within this release in the Company’s outlook, is calculated on a basis consistent with historical FFO, and is therefore considered to be an appropriate supplemental measure to projected net income from projected operating performance. A reconciliation of the range provided for Projected FFO per share (diluted) for the first quarter and full year of 2008 to the range provided for projected EPS (diluted) is as follows:

NOI is defined by the Company as total property revenue less direct property operating expenses (including property taxes), and excludes corporate-level income (including management, development and other fees), corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses, investments and investment management, net interest expense, general and administrative expense, joint venture income, minority interest expense, depreciation expense, gain on sale of real estate assets and income from discontinued operations. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income of operating performance of a community or communities because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of a community or communities prior to the allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of a community, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead by 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 groups of assets.

Attachment 16 (continued)
Projected NOI, as used within this release for certain Development and Redevelopment Communities and in calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate for dispositions, represents management’s estimate, as of the date of this release (or as of the date of the buyer’s valuation in the case of dispositions), of projected stabilized rental revenue minus projected stabilized operating expenses. For Development and Redevelopment Communities, Projected NOI is calculated based on the first year of Stabilized Operations, as defined below, following the completion of construction. In calculating the Initial Year Market Cap Rate, Projected NOI for dispositions is calculated for the first twelve months following the date of the buyer’s valuation. Projected stabilized rental revenue represents management’s estimate of projected gross potential (based on leased rents for occupied homes and Market Rents, as defined below, for vacant homes) minus projected economic vacancy and adjusted for concessions. Projected stabilized operating expenses do not include interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation or amortization, or any allocation of corporate-level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. The weighted average Projected NOI as a percentage of Total Capital Cost is weighted based on the Company’s share of the Total Capital Cost of each community, based on its percentage ownership.
Management believes that Projected NOI of the development and redevelopment communities, on an aggregated weighted average basis, assists investors in understanding management’s estimate of the likely impact on operations of the Development and Redevelopment Communities when the assets are complete and achieve stabilized occupancy (before allocation of any corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs or interest expense). However, in this release the Company has not given a projection of NOI on a company-wide basis. Given the different dates and fiscal years for which NOI is projected for these communities, the projected allocation of corporate-level property management overhead, general and administrative costs and interest expense to communities under development or redevelopment is complex, impractical to develop, and may not be meaningful. Projected NOI of these communities is not a projection of the Company’s overall financial performance or cash flow. There can be no assurance that the communities under development or redevelopment will achieve the Projected NOI as described in this release.
Rental Revenue with Concessions on a Cash Basis is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to rental revenue in conformity with GAAP to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical concessions on GAAP based rental revenue and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. In addition, rental revenue (with concessions on a cash basis) allows an investor to understand the historical trend in cash concessions.
A reconciliation of rental revenue from Established Communities in conformity with GAAP to rental revenue (with concessions on a cash basis) is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Economic Gain is calculated by the Company as the gain on sale in accordance with GAAP, less accumulated depreciation through the date of sale and any other non-cash adjustments that may be required under GAAP accounting. Management generally considers Economic Gain to be an appropriate supplemental measure to gain on sale in accordance with GAAP because it helps investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the sold community. The Economic Gain for each of the communities presented is estimated based on their respective final settlement statements. A reconciliation of Economic Gain to gain on sale in accordance with GAAP for both the full year 2007 as well as prior years’ activities is presented on Attachment 14.
Interest Coverage is calculated by the Company as EBITDA from continuing operations, excluding land gains and gain on the sale of investments in real estate joint ventures, divided by the sum of interest expense, net, and preferred dividends. Interest Coverage is presented by the Company because it provides rating agencies and investors an additional means of comparing our ability to service debt obligations to that of other companies. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Total Capital Cost includes all capitalized costs projected to be or actually incurred to develop the respective Development or Redevelopment Community, or Development Right, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, real estate taxes, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. For Redevelopment Communities, Total Capital Cost excludes costs incurred prior to the start of redevelopment when indicated. With respect to communities where development or redevelopment was completed in a prior or the current period, Total Capital Cost reflects the actual cost incurred, plus any contingency estimate made by management. Total Capital Cost for communities identified as having joint venture ownership, either during construction or upon construction completion, represents the total projected joint venture contribution amount. For joint ventures not in construction as presented on Attachment 13, Total Capital Cost is equal to gross real estate cost.
Initial Year Market Cap Rate is defined by the Company as Projected NOI of a single community for the first 12 months of operations (assuming no repositioning), less estimates for non-routine allowance of approximately $200 — $300 per apartment home, divided by the gross sales price for the community. Projected NOI, as referred to above, represents management’s estimate of projected rental revenue minus projected operating expenses before interest, income taxes (if any), depreciation, amortization and extraordinary items. For this purpose, management’s projection of operating expenses for the community includes a management fee of 3.0% — 3.5%. The Initial Year Market Cap Rate, which may be determined in a different manner by others, is a measure frequently used in the real estate industry when determining the appropriate purchase price for a property or estimating the value for a property. Buyers may assign different Initial Year Market Cap Rates to different communities when determining the appropriate value because they (i) may project different rates of change in operating expenses and capital expenditure estimates and (ii) may project different rates of change in future rental revenue due to different estimates for changes in rent and occupancy levels. The weighted average Initial Year Market Cap Rate is weighted based on the gross sales price of each community.
Unleveraged IRR on sold communities refers to the internal rate of return calculated by the Company considering the timing and amounts of (i) total revenue during the period owned by the Company and (ii) the gross sales price net of selling costs, offset by (iii) the undepreciated capital cost of the communities at the time of sale and (iv) total direct operating expenses during the period owned by the Company. Each of the items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 


 

 
Attachment 16 (continued)
The calculation of Unleveraged IRR does not include an adjustment for the Company’s general and administrative expense, interest expense, or corporate-level property management and other indirect operating expenses. Therefore, Unleveraged IRR is not a substitute for net income as a measure of our performance. Management believes that the Unleveraged IRR achieved during the period a community is owned by the Company is useful because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Company’s acquisition, development or redevelopment, management and sale of a community, before the impact of indirect expenses and Company overhead. The Unleveraged IRR achieved on the communities as cited in this release should not be viewed as an indication of the gross value created with respect to other communities owned by the Company, and the Company does not represent that it will achieve similar Unleveraged IRRs upon the disposition of other communities. The weighted average Unleveraged IRR for sold communities is weighted based on all cash flows over the holding period for each respective community, including net sales proceeds.
Leverage is calculated by the Company as total debt as a percentage of Total Market Capitalization. Total Market Capitalization represents the aggregate of the market value of the Company’s common stock, the market value of the Company’s operating partnership units outstanding (based on the market value of the Company’s common stock), the liquidation preference of the Company’s preferred stock and the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s debt. Management believes that Leverage can be one useful measure of a real estate operating company’s long-term liquidity and balance sheet strength, because it shows an approximate relationship between a company’s total debt and the current total market value of its assets based on the current price at which the Company’s common stock trades. Changes in Leverage also can influence changes in per share results. A calculation of Leverage as of December 31, 2007 is as follows (dollars in thousands):
 
         
Total debt
  $ 3,210,703  
 
     
Common stock
    7,278,774  
Preferred stock
    100,000  
Operating partnership units
    6,027  
Total debt
    3,210,703  
 
     
Total Market Capitalization
    10,595,504  
 
     
 
       
Debt as % of capitalization
    30.3%  
 
     
 
Because Leverage changes with fluctuations in the Company’s stock price, which occur regularly, the Company’s Leverage may change even when the Company’s earnings, interest and debt levels remain stable. Investors should also note that the net realizable value of the Company’s assets in liquidation is not easily determinable and may differ substantially from the Company’s Total Market Capitalization.
Unencumbered NOI as calculated by the Company represents NOI generated by real estate assets unencumbered by either outstanding secured debt or land leases (excluding land leases with purchase options that were put in place for governmental incentives or tax abatements) as a percentage of total NOI generated by real estate assets. The Company believes that current and prospective unsecured creditors of the Company view Unencumbered NOI as one indication of the borrowing capacity of the Company. Therefore, when reviewed together with the Company’s Interest Coverage, EBITDA and cash flow from operations, the Company believes that investors and creditors view Unencumbered NOI as a useful supplemental measure for determining the financial flexibility of an entity. A calculation of Unencumbered NOI for the full year 2007 is as follows (dollars in thousands):
 
         
NOI for Established Communities
  $ 443,657  
NOI for Other Stabilized Communities
    30,324

Attachment 16 (continued)
Established Communities are identified by the Company as 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 Operations, as defined below, as of the beginning of the prior year. Therefore, for 2007, Established Communities are consolidated communities that have Stabilized Operations as of January 1, 2006 and are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial redevelopment activities within the current year. Established Communities do not include communities that are currently held for sale or planned for disposition during the current year.
Development Communities are communities that are under construction and for which a final certificate of occupancy has not been received. These communities may be partially complete and operating.
Redevelopment Communities are communities where substantial redevelopment is in progress or is planned to begin during the current year. For wholly-owned communities, redevelopment is considered substantial when capital invested during the reconstruction effort is expected to exceed the lesser of $5,000,000 or 10% of the community’s acquisition cost. The definition of substantial redevelopment may differ for communities that are not wholly-owned.
Average Rental Rates are calculated by the Company as rental revenue in accordance with GAAP, divided by the weighted average number of occupied apartment homes.
Economic Occupancy is defined as total possible revenue less vacancy loss as a percentage of total possible revenue. Total possible revenue is determined by valuing occupied units at contract rates and vacant units at Market Rents. Vacancy loss is determined by valuing vacant units at current Market Rents. By measuring vacant apartments at their Market Rents, Economic Occupancy takes into account the fact that apartment homes of different sizes and locations within a community have different economic impacts on a community’s gross revenue.
Market Rents as reported by the Company are based on the current market rates set by the managers of the Company’s communities based on their experience in renting their communities’ apartments and publicly available market data. Trends in market rents for a region as reported by others could vary. Market Rents for a period are based on the average Market Rents during that period and do not reflect any impact for cash concessions.
Non-Revenue Generating Capex represents capital expenditures that will not directly result in revenue earnings or expense savings.
Stabilized/Restabilized Operations is defined as the earlier of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment.
Average Rent per Home, as calculated for certain Development and Redevelopment Communities in lease-up, reflects (i) actual average leased rents for those apartments leased through the end of the quarter net of estimated stabilized concessions, (ii) estimated market rents net of comparable concessions for all unleased apartments and (iii) includes actual and estimated other rental revenue. For Development and Redevelopment Communities not yet in lease-up, Average Rent per Home reflects management’s projected rents.
Development Rights are development opportunities in the early phase of the development process for which the Company either has an option to acquire land or enter into a leasehold interest, for which the Company is the buyer under a long-term conditional contract to purchase land or where the Company owns land to develop a new community. The Company capitalizes related predevelopment costs incurred in pursuit of new developments for which future development is probable.
