MAA Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

On October 29, 2025, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., commonly known as MAA (NYSE: MAA), published its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025. The reports indicated steady performance despite various challenges in the economic landscape. Key highlights include a diluted earnings per share of $0.84, down from $0.98 in the same quarter of the previous year. While the earnings saw a decline, the company also reported funds from operations (FFO) per share of $2.14, marking a slight increase from $2.10 a year prior.

The CEO of MAA, Brad Hill, commented on the company's robustness, stating, "Despite the ongoing economic uncertainties and increased competition in the housing market, we are pleased with our Core FFO results aligning with expectations this quarter." He emphasized that MAA has been able to maintain strong demand for its apartment offerings even as job growth remains sluggish and new inventory levels have risen.

MAA reported a significant achievement in pricing, with new and renewal leases outpacing the previous year’s levels, indicating an improvement in blended rates. This pricing resilience goes hand in hand with impressive resident retention rates, evidenced by historically low turnover rates. As of September 30, 2025, the turnover for the Same Store portfolio was recorded at 40.2%, which was impacted by only 10.8% moving to single-family homes.

In terms of strategic growth, the third quarter saw MAA acquire a newly constructed, 318-unit multifamily apartment community in Kansas City. The company has also continued its development projects, including MAA Nixie in Raleigh, North Carolina, along with others in key markets like Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Denver. Looking ahead, MAA plans to launch construction on a new multifamily development in Phoenix, Arizona, further underlining its commitment to growth and expansion.

The company has integrated strategic financial maneuvers, amending its revolving credit facility to increase borrowing capacity to $1.5 billion and extending maturity until January 2030. This financial flexibility is aimed at accelerating growth initiatives and expanding its development pipeline.
