      Eric Bolton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Strong rent growth and high occupancy, driven by a growing demand for housing across the Sunbelt region, drove solid second quarter results that were ahead of expectations. Given the strong results year-to-date and expectations for continued robust leasing conditions, we have increased our earnings outlook for the year.  We believe our uniquely diversified portfolio across this high-growth region has MAA well positioned as the economy in our Sunbelt markets continues to recover, while these markets attract a growing number of employers, new jobs and households.  Our development pipeline continues to expand, and we expect increasing growth in Core FFO from this group of properties over the next couple of years as well."

      Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

      • Property revenues from the Same Store Portfolio increased 4.7% during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year, ahead of expectations and supporting an increase in full-year expectations for growth in Core FFO.
      • That increase in Property revenues was driven by a 3.1% growth in Average Effective Rent per Unit for the Same Store Portfolio, reflecting cumulative rent growth over the past year. In addition, higher Average Physical Occupancy and improved collections on rents and fees during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year contributed to the strong results.
      • Positive momentum in rental pricing continues as Same Store Portfolio blended lease-over-lease pricing for both new and renewal leases effective during the second quarter of 2021 increased 8.2% as compared to the expiring leases.
      • Additionally, Same Store Portfolio blended lease-over-lease pricing for both new and renewal leases effective for July 2021 is over 12% through July 26, 2021.
      • Various programs introduced and actions taken by MAA to assist its residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have a positive impact during the second quarter of 2021. The number of MAA residents seeking rental deferral has continued to decline with only 151 residents requesting a deferral on July 2021 rents. Through July 26, 2021, cash collections represented 99.2% of billed residential rent for the second quarter of 2021.
      • Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, MAA has assisted over 8,200 residents with rent deferral plans and modifications to existing lease agreements.
      • As expected, Property operating expense growth was elevated for the Same Store Portfolio and increased 6.3% during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year when a number of normal operating activities were curtailed during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
      • Net Operating Income (NOI) from the Same Store Portfolio increased 3.6% during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
      • Resident turnover remained low as resident move outs for the Same Store Portfolio for the second quarter of 2021 was 47.1% on a rolling twelve month basis.
      • During the second quarter of 2021, MAA closed on the disposition of all four of its properties located in the Jackson, Mississippi market for gross proceeds of approximately $160 million resulting in net gains on depreciable assets of $134.8 million.
      • MAA completed redevelopment of 1,836 apartment homes during the second quarter of 2021, capturing average rental rate increases of approximately 11% above non-renovated units.
      • MAA continues its initiative focused on installation of new Smart Home technology throughout the portfolio with 7,488 unit installations completed during the second quarter of 2021.
      • During the second quarter of 2021, MAA completed the construction of Novel Midtown in the Phoenix, Arizona market and commenced development of Novel Day Break in the Salt Lake City, Utah market and Novel West Midtown in the Atlanta, Georgia market under its third-party developer pre-purchase program.
      • As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, MAA had eight properties under development, representing 2,654 units once complete, with a total projected cost of $627.5 million and an estimated $301.3 million remaining to be funded.
      • During the second quarter of 2021, MAA completed the initial lease-up of Copper Ridge II in the Fort Worth, Texas market. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, MAA had two properties in their initial lease-up with physical occupancy averaging 69.7%. One property is expected to stabilize in the third quarter of 2021 and the other property is expected to stabilize in the second quarter of 2022.

      Same Store Portfolio Operating Results
      To ensure comparable reporting with prior periods, the Same Store Portfolio includes properties that were owned by MAA and stabilized at the beginning of the previous year.

      The Same Store Portfolio revenue growth of 4.7% during the second quarter of 2021 was primarily a result of a 3.1% increase in Average Effective Rent per Unit, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Average Physical Occupancy for the Same Store Portfolio was 96.4% for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to 95.4% in the same period in the prior year.  Same Store Portfolio lease pricing for leases effective during the second quarter of 2021, as compared to the prior lease, increased 8.7% for new leases, increased 7.8% for renewing leases and increased 8.2% for both new and renewing leases on a combined basis.  Property operating expenses for the Same Store Portfolio increased 6.3% for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  Growth in insurance expenses and building repairs and maintenance costs contributed to the increase. These changes resulted in a Same Store NOI increase of 3.6% for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year. 

      The Same Store Portfolio revenue growth of 3.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily a result of a 2.2% increase in Average Effective Rent per Unit, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Average Physical Occupancy for the Same Store Portfolio was 96.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 95.5% in the same period in the prior year.  Same Store Portfolio lease pricing for leases effective during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the prior lease, increased 4.7% for new leases, increased 7.4% for renewing leases and increased 6.0% for both new and renewing leases on a combined basis.  Property operating expenses for the Same Store Portfolio increased 5.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  Growth in insurance expenses and building repairs and maintenance costs contributed to the increase.  These changes resulted in a Same Store NOI increase of 1.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior year. 

      A reconciliation of NOI, including Same Store NOI, to net income available for MAA common shareholders, and an expanded discussion of the components of NOI, can be found later in this release.

      Acquisition and Disposition Activity
      In April 2021, MAA closed on the pre-purchase of two multifamily apartment communities located in the Atlanta, Georgia market and the Salt Lake City, Utah market and started development on both properties during the second quarter of 2021.  In June 2021, MAA acquired a 19 acre land parcel located in the Tampa, Florida market for future development. 

      In June 2021, MAA exited the Jackson, Mississippi market upon closing on the disposition of its four multifamily properties totaling 1,241 apartment units.  MAA received combined gross proceeds of approximately $160 million and recognized combined net gains on the sale of real estate assets of $134.8 million from the sale of these apartment communities. 

      Development and Lease-up Activity
      As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, MAA had eight development communities under construction.  MAA expects to complete construction of three of these development communities in 2021, two in 2022 and three in 2023.  Total development costs for the eight communities are projected to be $627.5 million, of which an estimated $301.3 million remained to be funded as of the end of the second quarter of 2021.  The expected average stabilized NOI yield on these communities is 6.0%. During the second quarter of 2021, MAA funded $55.3 million of costs for current and future projects, including predevelopment activities related to a land parcel located in the Denver, Colorado market.

      During the second quarter of 2021, MAA completed construction on Novel Midtown, and that apartment community moved into MAA's lease-up portfolio. As of the end of the second quarter of 2021, MAA had two apartment communities, representing a total of 693 units, in initial lease-up: MAA Frisco Bridges II, located in Dallas, Texas and Novel Midtown, located in Phoenix, Arizona.  Physical occupancy for these lease-up communities averaged 69.7% at the end of the second quarter of 2021.

      Property Redevelopment and Repositioning Activity
      MAA continued its interior redevelopment program at select apartment communities throughout the portfolio.  During the second quarter of 2021, MAA redeveloped the interior of 1,836 units, bringing the total renovated units during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 2,800 at an average cost of $5,634 per unit, achieving average rental rate increases of approximately 11% above non-renovated units.

      MAA continued its Smart Home technology initiative (mobile control of lights, thermostat and security, as well as leak monitoring) at select apartment communities.  During the second quarter of 2021, 7,488 units were installed, bringing the total units installed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 21,463 at an average cost of $1,323 per unit, achieving an average rental rate increase of approximately $25 per unit. 

      During the second quarter of 2021, MAA continued its property repositioning program to upgrade and reposition the amenity and common areas at select apartment communities.  The program includes targeted plans to move all units at the properties to higher rents that are expected to deliver yields on cost averaging 8%.  Eight properties were selected in 2020 for this program.  As of June 30, 2021, work has been completed at six of these properties with redevelopment work at the remaining two properties expected to be completed by the end of 2021.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, MAA spent $3.5 million on this program. MAA is currently in the planning phase for similar repositioning projects at eight additional properties, with work likely to commence later in 2021.

      Capital Expenditures
      Recurring capital expenditures totaled $22.8 million for the second quarter of 2021, or approximately $0.20 per diluted common share and unit (Share), as compared to $25.1 million, or $0.21 per Share, for the same period in the prior year.  These expenditures led to Core Adjusted Funds from Operations (Core AFFO) of $1.49 per Share for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1.38 per Share for the same period in the prior year.

      Redevelopment, revenue enhancing, commercial and other capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2021 were $55.9 million, as compared to $24.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the investment in the Smart Home technology initiative.  These expenditures led to Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) of $121.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $139.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

      Recurring capital expenditures totaled $35.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, or approximately $0.30 per Share, as compared to $39.7 million, or $0.33 per Share, for the same period in the prior year.  These expenditures led to Core AFFO of $3.03 per Share for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.88 per Share for the same period in the prior year.

      Redevelopment, revenue enhancing, commercial and other capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2021  were $92.5 million, as compared to $52.6 million for the same period in the prior year. These expenditures led to FAD of $266.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $287.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

      A reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO, Core AFFO and FAD to net income available for MAA common shareholders, and an expanded discussion of the components of FFO, Core FFO, Core AFFO and FAD can be found later in this release.

      Financing Activities
      As of June 30, 2021, MAA had $748.4 million of combined cash and available capacity under its operating partnership's (Mid-America Apartments, L.P., referred to as MAALP or the Operating Partnership) unsecured revolving credit facility, net of commercial paper borrowings.

      Dividends and distributions paid on shares of common stock and noncontrolling interests during the second quarter of 2021 were $121.5 million, as compared to $118.4 million for the same period in the prior year.

      During the second quarter of 2021, Fitch Ratings affirmed our long-term debt rating as BBB+ and revised our outlook to Positive from Stable. 

      Balance Sheet
      As of June 30, 2021:

      • Total debt to adjusted total assets (as defined in the covenants for the bonds issued by MAALP) was 30.6%;
      • Total debt outstanding was $4.6 billion with an average effective interest rate of approximately 3.5%;
      • 93.9% of total debt was fixed against rising interest rates for an average of approximately 7.4 years; and
      • Unencumbered NOI was 94.6% of total NOI.

      110th Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend Declared
      MAA declared its 110th consecutive quarterly common dividend, which will be paid on July 30, 2021 to holders of record on July 15, 2021.  The current annual dividend rate is $4.10 per common share.

      2021 Earnings and Same Store Portfolio Guidance
      MAA is updating and increasing its prior 2021 guidance for Net income per diluted common share, Core FFO per Share and Core AFFO per Share in addition to updating its expectations for growth of Property revenue, Property operating expense and NOI for the Same Store Portfolio.

      FFO, Core FFO and Core AFFO are non-GAAP measures. Acquisition and disposition activity materially affects depreciation and capital gains or losses, which combined, generally represent the majority of the difference between Net income available for common shareholders and FFO. As discussed in the definitions of non-GAAP measures found later in this release, MAA's definition of FFO is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts', or NAREIT's, definition, and Core FFO represents FFO further adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA's core business operations.  MAA believes that Core FFO is helpful in understanding operating performance in that Core FFO excludes not only depreciation expense of real estate assets and certain other non-routine items, but it also excludes certain items that by their nature are not comparable over periods and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance.

      MAA expects Core FFO for the third quarter of 2021 to be in the range of $1.62 to $1.74 per Share, or $1.68 per Share at the midpoint.  MAA does not forecast Net income per diluted share on a quarterly basis as MAA generally cannot predict the timing of forecasted acquisition and disposition activity within a particular quarter (rather than during the course of the full year).

      • significant change in the mortgage financing market or other factors that would cause single-family housing or other alternative housing options, either as an owned or rental product, to become a more significant competitive product;
      • our ability to continue to satisfy complex rules in order to maintain our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the ability of MAALP to satisfy the rules to maintain its status as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the ability of our taxable REIT subsidiaries to maintain their status as such for federal income tax purposes, and our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to operate effectively within the limitations imposed by these rules;

      NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

      Adjusted EBITDAre
      For purposes of calculations in this release, Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate, or Adjusted EBITDAre, represents EBITDAre further adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA's core operations such as adjustments related to the fair value of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, gain or loss on sale of non-depreciable assets, adjustments for gains or losses from unconsolidated limited partnerships, net casualty gain or loss, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, non-routine legal costs and settlements, COVID-19 related costs and mark-to-market debt adjustments.  As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers Adjusted EBITDAre to be an important measure of performance from core operations because Adjusted EBITDAre does not include various income and expense items that are not indicative of operating performance.  MAA's computation of Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre.  Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

      Core Adjusted Funds from Operations (Core AFFO)
      Core AFFO is composed of Core FFO less recurring capital expenditures. Core AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance.  As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers Core AFFO to be an important measure of performance from operations because Core AFFO measures the ability to control revenues, expenses and recurring capital expenditures.

      Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO)
      Core FFO represents FFO as adjusted for items that are not considered part of MAA's core business operations such as adjustments related to the fair value of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, gain or loss on sale of non-depreciable assets, adjustments for gains or losses from unconsolidated limited partnerships, net casualty gain or loss, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, non-routine legal costs and settlements, COVID-19 related costs and mark-to-market debt adjustments. While MAA's definition of Core FFO may be similar to others in the industry, MAA's methodology for calculating Core FFO may differ from that utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. MAA believes that Core FFO is helpful in understanding its core operating performance between periods in that it removes certain items that by their nature are not comparable over periods and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance.

      EBITDA
      For purposes of calculations in this release, Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, is composed of net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes.  As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers EBITDA to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDA does not include various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

      EBITDAre
      For purposes of calculations in this release, Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate, or EBITDAre, is composed of EBITDA further adjusted for the gain or loss on sale of depreciable asset sales and plus adjustments to reflect MAA's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.  As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers EBITDAre to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDAre does not include various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. While MAA's definition of EBITDAre is in accordance with NAREIT's definition, it may differ from the methodology utilized by other companies to calculate EBITDAre. EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to Net income as an indicator of operating performance.

      Funds Available for Distribution (FAD)
      FAD is composed of Core FFO less total capital expenditures, excluding development spending and property acquisitions.  FAD should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance.  As an owner and operator of real estate, MAA considers FAD to be an important measure of performance from core operations because FAD measures the ability to control revenues, expenses and total capital expenditures.

      Funds From Operations (FFO)
      FFO represents net income available for MAA common shareholders (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on disposition of operating properties and asset impairment, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and adjustments for joint ventures.  Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back, FFO, when used in this document, represents FFO attributable to the Company.  While MAA's definition of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT's definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other companies.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance.  MAA believes that FFO is helpful in understanding operating performance in that FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets.  MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

      Gross Assets
      Gross Assets represents Total assets plus Accumulated depreciation.  MAA believes that Gross Assets can be used as a helpful tool in evaluating its balance sheet positions.  MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

      Gross Real Estate Assets
      Gross Real Estate Assets represents Real estate assets, net plus Accumulated depreciation and Cash and cash equivalents.  MAA believes that Gross Real Estate Assets can be used as a helpful tool in evaluating its balance sheet positions.  MAA believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.

      Net Debt
      Net Debt represents Unsecured notes payable and Secured notes payable less Cash and cash equivalents.  MAA believes Net Debt is a helpful tool in evaluating its debt position.

      Net Operating Income (NOI)
      Net Operating Income represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties held during the period, regardless of their status as held for sale. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders.  MAA believes NOI by market is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance within MAA's markets because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

      Same Store NOI
      Same Store NOI represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties classified within the Same Store Portfolio during the period. Same Store NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders.  MAA believes Same Store NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance within MAA's markets because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

      Non-Same Store and Other NOI
      Non-Same Store and Other NOI represents Rental and other property revenues less Total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties classified within the Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio during the period. Non-Same Store and Other NOI should not be considered as an alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders.  MAA believes Non-Same Store and Other NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance within MAA's markets because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance.

      OTHER KEY DEFINITIONS

      Average Effective Rent per Unit
      Average Effective Rent per Unit represents the average of gross rent amounts after the effect of leasing concessions for occupied units plus prevalent market rates asked for unoccupied units, divided by the total number of units. Leasing concessions represent discounts to the current market rate. MAA believes average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. It does not represent actual rental revenue collected per unit.

      Average Physical Occupancy
      Average Physical Occupancy represents the average of the daily physical occupancy for an applicable period.

      Development Communities
      Communities remain identified as development until certificates of occupancy are obtained for all units under development. Once all units are delivered and available for occupancy, the community moves into the Lease-up Communities portfolio.

      Lease-up Communities
      New acquisitions acquired during lease-up and newly developed communities remain in the Lease-up Communities portfolio until stabilized.  Communities are considered stabilized after achieving at least 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days.

      Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio
      Non-Same Store and Other Portfolio includes recently acquired communities, communities in development or lease-up, communities that have been identified for disposition, communities that have undergone a significant casualty loss, stabilized communities that do not meet the requirements defined by the Same Store Portfolio, retail properties and commercial properties.

      Same Store Portfolio
      MAA reviews its Same Store Portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year, or as significant transactions or events warrant. Communities are generally added into the Same Store Portfolio if they were owned and stabilized at the beginning of the previous year.  Communities are considered stabilized after achieving at least 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days. Communities that have been approved by MAA's Board of Directors for disposition are excluded from the Same Store Portfolio.  Communities that have undergone a significant casualty loss are also excluded from the Same Store Portfolio.

      Unencumbered NOI
      Unencumbered NOI represents NOI generated by unencumbered assets (as defined in MAALP's bond covenants).
