Organization and Formation

UDR, Inc. (“UDR,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment communities in targeted markets located in the United States. At June 30, 2026, our consolidated apartment portfolio consisted of 162 communities with a total of 54,173 apartment homes located in 21 markets. In addition, the Company has an ownership interest in 8,720 completed or to-be-completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 3,319 apartment homes owned by entities in which we hold preferred equity investments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UDR include its wholly-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries (see Note 4, Variable Interest Entities and Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships, for further discussion). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDR and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) and UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P. (the “DownREIT Partnership”). As of June 30, 2026, there were 190.5 million units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) outstanding, of which 177.2 million OP Units (including 0.1 million of general partnership units), or 93.0%, were owned by UDR and 13.3 million OP Units, or 7.0%, were owned by outside limited partners. As of June 30, 2026, there were 32.4 million units in the DownREIT Partnership (“DownREIT Units”) outstanding, of which 23.7 million, or 73.1%, were owned by UDR and its subsidiaries and 8.7 million, or 26.9%, were owned by outside limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of UDR include the noncontrolling interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership. In July 2026, the DownREIT Partnership was liquidated. In connection with the liquidation, the assets of the DownREIT were acquired by the Operating Partnership and the outstanding DownREIT Units were exchanged for two new classes of units in the Operating Partnership. UDR and each of the outside limited partners of the DownREIT Partnership received a number of new Operating Partnership units equal to the number of DownREIT Units that UDR or such outside limited partner previously owned. The economic terms of the new Operating Partnership Units received by the former outside limited partners of the DownREIT Partnership are substantially the same as the economic terms of the DownREIT Units, including with respect to distributions and the right to redeem such units for either the Cash Amount or the REIT Share Amount (each as defined in the amended and restated partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership), subject to certain exceptions, as described in Note 9, Noncontrolling Interests. Because the Company already consolidated both entities, the transaction did not result in any changes to the Company's assets or liabilities.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2026, and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, have been included. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 appearing in UDR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted other than those described above, and in Note 3, Real Estate Owned, and Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships.
