AVALONBAY COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
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 develops, redevelops, acquires, owns and operates multifamily communities in Boston, Massachusetts, the New York/New Jersey metro area, the Mid-Atlantic, Seattle, Washington, 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.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned or held a direct or indirect ownership interest in 322 apartment communities containing 99,072 apartment homes in 11 states and the District of Columbia, of which 27 communities were under construction. 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 31 communities that, if developed as expected, will contain an estimated 9,997 apartment homes.
Proposed Merger with Equity Residential
On May 20, 2026, the Company, Equity Residential, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Equity Residential”), ERP Operating Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership (the “ERP Operating Partnership”), and Canopy Merger Sub LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Equity Residential (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) on the closing date but prior to the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Merger (as defined below), the Company will contribute certain assets set forth in an exhibit to the Merger Agreement (the “Asset Contribution”) in exchange for units of partnership interest in the ERP Operating Partnership that have, in the aggregate, a value equal to the fair market value of such contributed assets and (ii) following the Asset Contribution and at the Effective Time, AvalonBay will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Equity Residential (the “Merger” and, together with the Asset Contribution and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of AvalonBay common stock will be converted into the right to receive 2.793 Equity Residential common shares (the “Exchange Ratio”), resulting in legacy Equity Residential shareholders and former AvalonBay stockholders owning approximately 49% and 51% of the combined company, respectively. The board of trustees and board of directors of both companies, as applicable, have each unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.
The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the business combination accounting rules in which Equity Residential is considered the legal acquirer because Equity Residential will issue common shares to AvalonBay stockholders, while AvalonBay is designated as the accounting acquirer based primarily on post-Merger relative ownership percentage and the composition of senior executive leadership. Consequently, Equity Residential’s historical assets and liabilities will be recorded at estimated fair value as of the closing date of the Merger, and the combined financial statements will present AvalonBay’s historical balances and results.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions granting each of AvalonBay and Equity Residential the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances. Upon a termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain circumstances, (i) Equity Residential may be required to pay AvalonBay a termination fee of the lesser of approximately $1,005,000,000 or the maximum amount that could be paid to AvalonBay without causing it to fail to meet the REIT requirements for such year, or (ii) AvalonBay may be required to pay Equity Residential a termination fee of the lesser of approximately $1,070,000,000 or the maximum amount that could be paid to Equity Residential without causing it to fail to meet the REIT requirements for such year.
Following the closing of the Merger, the combined company will operate under a new name and will maintain dual headquarters in Chicago, Illinois and Arlington, Virginia. The Transactions are expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to reciprocal shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Basis of Presentation
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 this Form 8-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, certain joint venture partnerships, subsidiary partnerships structured as DownREITs, and any variable interest entities that qualify for consolidation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling Interests
The Company classifies the carrying value of the DownREIT Units as noncontrolling interests, as the units may be redeemed by unitholders on or after April 30, 2026 for cash or common stock at the Company's election. Net income and comprehensive income is allocated to the DownREIT Units pro-rata based on the weighted average proportion of DownREIT Units to the weighted average combined total of outstanding common stock, participating securities, and DownREIT Units for the period.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date acquired. Restricted cash includes principal reserve funds that are restricted for the repayment of specified secured financing, amounts the Company has designated for planned 1031 exchange activity and resident security deposits. The majority of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held at major commercial banks.
Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common 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 stockholders and, accordingly, are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method of computing basic earnings per common share. Both the unvested restricted shares and other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per common share on a diluted basis. Diluted earnings per common share was computed using the treasury stock method for performance awards, options, participating securities and forward contracts, and using the if-converted method
for DownREIT Units. 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 42,582, forward contracts to sell shares of common stock in the amounts of 920,000, and unvested performance awards in the amounts of 96,506 as of June 30, 2026 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive for the period. Certain options to purchase shares of common stock in the amounts of 19,266, forward contracts to sell shares of common stock in the amounts of 4,047,113, and unvested performance awards in the amount of 42,790 as of June 30, 2025 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because they 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 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 and the fair values of Hedging Derivatives that are in a liability position are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value changes for derivatives that are not in qualifying hedge relationships are reported as a component of interest expense, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the Hedging Derivatives that qualify as effective cash flow hedges, the Company records the cumulative changes in the Hedging Derivatives' fair value in accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of 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. Receipts or payments associated with the gains and losses on the Company’s cash flow hedges of future fixed rate debt issuances are presented as a component of cash flows from financing activities in the period the hedges are terminated and the receipt or payments for the Company’s cash flow hedges of interest on variable rate debt are presented as a component of cash flows from operating activities. Payments for derivatives that are not designated in hedging relationships are presented as a component of cash flows from operating activities. See Note 11, “Fair Value,” for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.
Acquisitions of Investments in Real Estate
The Company accounts for real estate acquisitions as either an asset acquisition 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 and segment classification.
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 are generally not included in the lease liability, but 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 determines 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 elected the practical expedient to not recognize the lease asset and liability.
Lessor Considerations
The Company's 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
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 as residential and commercial rental and other lease income 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, 2026 and 2025. Segment information for total revenue excludes real estate assets that were sold from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, or otherwise qualify as held for sale as of June 30, 2026, 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, 2026.
Uncollectible Lease Revenue Reserves
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 $10,853,000 and $11,806,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $21,496,000 and $23,880,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the disaggregation for certain expenses presented on the face of an entity’s income statement in the entity's disclosures. Additionally, it requires the disclosure of selling expenses and descriptions of amounts not separately disaggregated. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is assessing the standard and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which updates the accounting for software implementation and development, specifically with respect to cost capitalization. The amendments replace the former model which considered prescriptive and sequential software development stages with an approach that is focused on management authorization and probability that the project will be completed and used for its intended purpose. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. The Company is assessing the standard and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
2. Interest Capitalized
The Company capitalizes interest during the development and redevelopment of real estate assets. Capitalized interest associated with the Company's development and redevelopment activities totaled $15,930,000 and $11,904,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $30,487,000 and $22,383,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
3. Debt

The following amounts and discussion do not include the mortgage notes related to the communities classified as held for sale, if any, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, as shown in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (dollars in thousands) (see Note 6, "Real Estate Disposition Activities"). The weighted average interest rates in the following table for secured and unsecured debt include financing costs, including debt issuance costs as well as credit enhancement and trustees' fees, the impact of interest rate hedges and mark-to-market adjustments.

(1)Includes the $550,000 Term Loan that has been swapped to an effective fixed rate of 4.44% using interest rate hedges.
(2)Excludes deferred financing costs associated with the Credit Facility and Commercial Paper, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company has a $2,500,000,000 revolving variable rate unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks (the "Credit Facility") which matures in April 2030. The interest rate that would be applicable to borrowings under the Credit Facility was 4.39% at June 30, 2026 and was composed of (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), applicable to the period of borrowing for a particular draw of funds from the Credit Facility (e.g., one month to maturity, three months to maturity, etc.), plus (ii) the current borrowing spread to SOFR of 0.705% 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 senior notes. There is also an annual facility commitment fee of 0.12% of the borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which can vary from 0.10% to 0.30% based upon the rating of the Company's unsecured senior notes. The Credit Facility contains a sustainability-linked pricing component which provides for interest rate margin and commitment fee reductions or increases related to certain environmental sustainability targets, specifically greenhouse gas emission reductions, with the adjustment determined annually. The annual determination under the sustainability-linked pricing component occurred in July 2025, maintaining reductions of approximately 0.02% to the interest rate margin and 0.005% to the commitment fee due to the Company's achievement of sustainability targets.
The Company has an unsecured commercial paper note program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) with a maximum amount of commercial paper notes that can be outstanding at any one time not to exceed $1,000,000,000. Under the terms of the Commercial Paper Program, the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes with maturities of less than one year. The Commercial Paper Program is backstopped by the Company's commitment to maintain available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility in an amount equal to actual borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program.
The availability under the Company's Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was as follows (dollars in thousands):

In May 2026, the Company repaid $475,000,000 of its 2.95% unsecured notes at par upon 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 $1,190,937,000, excluding communities classified as held for sale, if any, as of June 30, 2026.

4. Equity
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company's charter had authorized for issuance a total of 280,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company:
i.issued 2,444 shares of common stock in connection with stock options exercised;
ii.issued 2,987 shares of common stock through the Company's dividend reinvestment plan;
iii.issued 234,445 shares of common stock in connection with restricted stock grants and the conversion of performance awards to shares of common stock;
iv.issued 10,355 shares of common stock through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan;
v.issued 2,760,000 shares of common stock through the settlement of equity forward contracts;
vi.withheld 83,467 shares of common stock to satisfy employees' tax withholding and other liabilities;
vii.canceled 1,518 shares of restricted common stock upon forfeiture; and
viii.repurchased 1,130,336 shares of common stock through the 2025 Stock Repurchase Program and 2026 Stock Repurchase Program, discussed below.
Deferred compensation related to the Company's stock option, performance award and restricted stock grants does not impact the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements until recognized as compensation cost.
The Company has a continuous equity program (the "CEP") under which the Company may sell (and/or enter into forward sale agreements for the sale of) up to $1,000,000,000 of its common stock from time to time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no sales under the CEP. In connection with the pending Merger, the CEP was suspended as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
In addition to the CEP, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering pursuant to which it entered into forward contracts to sell 3,680,000 shares of common stock at a discount to the closing price of $226.52 per share for net proceeds of $808,606,000 based on the initial forward price. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company partially settled the outstanding forward contracts, issuing 2,760,000 shares of common stock at $220.08 per share for proceeds of $607,433,000. See Note 12, "Subsequent Events," for further discussion of equity activity subsequent to June 30, 2026.
In February 2026, the Company terminated its then-existing stock repurchase program (the "2025 Stock Repurchase Program") and adopted a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may acquire shares of its common stock in open market or negotiated transactions up to an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000,000 (the "2026 Stock Repurchase Program"). Purchases of common stock under the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program may occur from time to time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The 2026 Stock Repurchase Program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,130,336 shares of common stock at an average price of $175.59 per share, including fees, for a total of $198,480,000 under the 2025 Stock Repurchase Program and the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program. In connection with the pending Merger, the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program was suspended as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
5. Investments
Structured Investment Program
The Company operates a Structured Investment Program (the "SIP"), an investment platform through which the Company provides mezzanine loans or preferred equity to third-party multifamily developers. During the three months ended June 30,
2026, the Company entered into one new SIP commitment, agreeing to provide an aggregate investment of up to $15,000,000 in a multifamily development project in Metro NY/NJ. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received full repayment of $17,580,000 which includes principal and interest for one mezzanine loan. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had nine commitments to fund up to $241,785,000 in the aggregate with a weighted average rate of return of 11.8% and a weighted average final maturity date of November 2028. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had funded $237,774,000 of these commitments and recognized interest income, exclusive of expected credit losses, of $7,806,000 and $6,689,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $15,022,000 and $12,820,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, from the SIP. Interest income and any change in the expected credit loss are included as a component of Structured Investment Program interest income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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, 2026, 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 commitment 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 commitment-specific risk characteristics, such as the amount of equity capital provided by a borrower, amount of senior debt secured by the project, nature of the real estate being developed or other factors.
Unconsolidated Investments
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had investments in four unconsolidated entities with real estate holdings, with ownership interests ranging from 20.0% to 28.6%, coupled with other unconsolidated investments including third-party property technology and sustainability focused companies and investment management funds.
The Arts District joint venture, in which the Company holds a 25% ownership interest, owns one apartment community that is subject to a mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $162,911,000 as of June 30, 2026. The Company has provided the lender a partial payment guarantee for 25% of the loan's maximum borrowing capacity. Any amounts payable under the 25% loan guarantee by the Company are obligations of the joint venture partners in proportion to their ownership interest, and in the event the Company is obligated to perform under its loan guarantee, its joint venture partner is obligated to reimburse the Company for 75% of amounts paid.
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated investments under the equity method of accounting, net asset value or 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 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 joint venture partner.
Expensed Transaction, Development and Other Pursuit Costs
The Company capitalizes costs associated with its development activities to the basis of land held when future development is probable, 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 ("Development Rights"). 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. If the Company determines a Development Right is no longer probable, the Company recognizes any necessary expense to write down its basis. The Company assesses its portfolio of land held for development and land held for 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. The Company incurred expense of $7,609,000 and $2,493,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025,
respectively, and $11,025,000 and $7,237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, for expensed 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. The amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 includes a write-off of $4,545,000 for one development opportunity that the Company determined was no longer probable. The amount for the six months ended June 30, 2025 includes a write-off of $3,668,000 for one development opportunity that the Company determined was no longer probable. In addition, the Company incurred costs of $12,367,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 related to the proposed Merger with Equity Residential. See Note 1, "Organization, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies," for more information on the Merger. These costs are included in expensed transaction, development and other pursuit costs, net of recoveries on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs can vary greatly, and the costs incurred in any given period may be significantly different in future periods.
Long-Lived Assets Casualty Loss
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $4,619,000 of expense from property damage at certain of the Company's communities, reported as casualty and impairment loss on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $858,000 for the property damage to one of the Company's communities, reported as casualty and impairment loss on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 relates to damage from a water pipe break at a community in New Jersey and damage at communities throughout the portfolio from winter storms. The expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 relates to damage from a water pipe break at a community in Massachusetts.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
The Company recognizes a loss associated with contingent legal matters when the loss is probable and estimable.
In 2022 and early 2023, the Company was named as a defendant in cases brought by private litigants alleging antitrust violations by RealPage, Inc. and owners and/or operators of multifamily housing which utilize revenue management systems provided by RealPage, Inc. The Company engaged with the plaintiffs' counsel to explain why it believed that these cases were without merit as they pertained to the Company. Following these discussions, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal in July 2023, which resulted in the Company being dismissed without prejudice from these cases. Subsequently, on November 1, 2023, the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia against RealPage, Inc. and a number of
owners and/or operators of multifamily housing in the District of Columbia, including the Company, alleging that the defendants violated the District of Columbia Antitrust Act by unlawfully agreeing to use RealPage, Inc. revenue management systems and sharing sensitive data (the “D.C. Antitrust Litigation”). The court has denied the Company's motions to dismiss and for judgment on the pleadings. See Note 12, "Subsequent Events," for further discussion of the D.C. Antitrust Litigation.
On January 15, 2025, the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Maryland filed a lawsuit similar to the D.C. Antitrust Litigation in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Maryland in which RealPage, Inc. and a number of owners and/or operators of multifamily properties in Maryland, including the Company, have been named and alleged to have violated state antitrust law (the “Maryland Antitrust Litigation”). On February 28, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss. Maryland filed an amended complaint on June 5, 2026, and, on June 29, 2026, the court denied as moot the Company’s motion to dismiss the original complaint due to Maryland’s amended complaint.
On April 23, 2025, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs filed a lawsuit similar to the D.C. Antitrust Litigation and the Maryland Antitrust Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The lawsuit alleges that RealPage, Inc. and a number of owners and/or operators of multifamily properties in New Jersey, including the Company, violated federal and state antitrust laws and the state consumer fraud law (the “New Jersey Antitrust Litigation”) by unlawfully agreeing to use RealPage, Inc. revenue management systems and other related actions. On July 29, 2025, the Company filed a motion to dismiss. On March 31, 2026, the court granted without prejudice the Company’s motion with respect to the federal and state antitrust claims but denied it with respect to the state consumer fraud claim. On April 14, 2026, the Company filed a motion to reconsider the court’s ruling on the Company’s motion to dismiss the New Jersey Antitrust Litigation insofar as it did not dismiss the remaining state consumer fraud claim.
While the Company intends to vigorously defend against the D.C. Antitrust Litigation, the Maryland Antitrust Litigation and the New Jersey Antitrust Litigation, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from the lawsuits.
The Company is involved in various other claims and/or administrative proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. While no assurances can be given, the Company does not currently believe that any of these other outstanding litigation matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Lease Obligations
The Company owns seven apartment communities, two commercial properties and one development community located on land subject to ground leases expiring between July 2046 and May 2123. The Company has purchase options for all ground leases expiring prior to 2062. The ground leases for six of the seven apartment communities, the two commercial properties and one development community are operating leases, with rental expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, the Company is party to 15 leases for its corporate and regional offices with varying terms through December 2033, all of which are operating leases. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not enter into any new ground leases.
The ground lease for the development community includes a completion guaranty that obligates the Company to complete construction of the community and certain off-site infrastructure improvements prior to May 2030. The Company expects to complete construction in Q1 2029 for an estimated total capital cost of $302,000,000.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had total operating lease assets of $116,712,000 and $119,888,000, respectively, and lease obligations of $142,601,000 and $145,319,000, respectively, reported as components of right of use lease assets and lease liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company incurred costs of $3,842,000 and $3,836,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $7,766,000 and $7,771,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to operating leases.
The Company has one apartment community located on land subject to a ground lease and four leases for portions of parking garages adjacent to apartment communities that are finance leases. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had total finance lease assets of $27,429,000 and $27,649,000, respectively, and total finance lease obligations of $19,843,000 and $19,881,000, respectively, reported as components of right of use lease assets and lease liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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, including its Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President- Portfolio and Asset Management. The CODM uses 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), property management and other indirect operating expenses, net of corporate income, 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, Structured Investment Program interest income, depreciation expense, income tax expense (benefit), casualty and impairment 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 1.4% of total NOI for both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and 1.5% and 1.7% of total NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 and consistent with how the Company's CODM evaluates total NOI.
A reconciliation of NOI to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 following table details the Company's segment information as of the dates specified (dollars in thousands). The segments are classified based on the individual community's status at January 1, 2026. Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 has been adjusted to exclude the real estate assets that were sold from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, or otherwise qualify as held for sale as of June 30, 2026, as described in Note 6, "Real Estate Disposition Activities."

(1)Does not include non-allocated revenue. Non-allocated revenue represents third-party property management, developer fees and miscellaneous income and other ancillary items which are not allocated to a reportable segment. Non-allocated revenue is $1,782 and $1,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $3,615 and $3,336 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(2)Does not include non-allocated gross real estate and land held for development. Non-allocated gross real estate is $112,539 and $117,894 as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Land held for development is $101,508 and $101,066 as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
9. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
On May 20, 2026, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2026 Plan"), which replaced the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The 2026 Plan includes an authorization to issue up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share and permits the Company to grant stock options, performance awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to eligible employees, directors, and other service providers. Shares issued under the 2009 Plan from March 15, 2026 through May 20, 2026 were counted towards the 2026 Plan authorization, which reduced the number of shares available for future grants to 3,999,180. The 2026 Plan will expire on May 20, 2036.
Effective as of the close of business on May 20, 2026, no awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for the same types of equity awards as the 2026 Plan, and would have expired by its terms on May 15, 2027. Outstanding awards previously granted under the 2009 Plan will not be affected by termination of the 2009 Plan, the terms of which shall continue to govern such previously granted awards. In addition to the 3,999,180 shares authorized for issuance under the 2026 Plan as described above, any awards that were outstanding under the 2009 Plan on May 20, 2026 that are subsequently forfeited, canceled, surrendered or terminated (other than by exercise) will become available for awards under the 2026 Plan. Details of the outstanding awards and activity under the 2026 Plan and 2009 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are presented below.

Total employee stock-based compensation cost recognized in income was $13,816,000 and $14,188,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and total capitalized stock-based compensation cost was $5,884,000 and $6,630,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At June 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation cost was $46,174,000 for unvested restricted stock, stock options and performance awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The Company reverses any previously recognized compensation cost for forfeitures as they occur.
10. Related Party Arrangements
Unconsolidated Entities
The Company manages unconsolidated real estate entities and provides 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 $1,782,000 and $1,594,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $3,615,000 and $3,336,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. In addition, the Company had outstanding receivables associated with its property and construction management roles of $915,000 and $1,395,000 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Director Compensation
The Company recorded non-employee director compensation expense relating to restricted stock grants and deferred stock units in the amount of $692,000 and $604,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1,383,000 and $1,192,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as a component of general and administrative expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred compensation relating to these restricted stock grants and deferred stock units to non-employee directors was $2,017,000 and $910,000 on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, reported as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
11. Fair Value
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
Derivative Financial Instruments
Hedging Derivatives 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 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. The Company 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 Hedging Derivatives credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, which the Company concluded are not significant. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

____________________________________
(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 six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company entered into $150,000,000 of forward starting interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate variability on future debt issuance activity through December 31, 2026. 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 certain derivatives not designated as hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, for which fair value changes during each of the respective periods were not material.
The Company anticipates reclassifying approximately $5,189,000 of net hedging gains from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months as an offset to the hedged item during this period.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash 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, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances with any one financial institution and believes the likelihood of realizing material losses related to cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash balances is remote. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values and are Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Other Financial Instruments
Other financial instruments consist of (i) rents, (ii) other receivables, including notes receivable, (iii) prepaid expenses, (iv) accounts and construction payable and (v) accrued expenses and other liabilities. These assets and liabilities are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values. The Company determined that its notes receivable 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.
Equity Securities
The Company has direct equity investments in third-party property technology companies. These investments are accounted for using the measurement alternative and are valued at the market price of observable transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized unrealized gains of $170,000 and unrealized losses of $1,203,000, respectively, and unrealized losses of $6,080,000 and $2,445,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to these investments, which was reported as a component of loss from unconsolidated investments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had recorded cumulative fair value adjustments of $61,429,000 for net unrealized gains on equity securities.
Indebtedness
The Company values its fixed rate unsecured debt using quoted market prices, a Level 1 price within the fair value hierarchy. The Company values its mortgage notes payable, 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, 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.
