Explanatory Note

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., a Tennessee corporation, and Mid-America Apartments, L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership, of which Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. is the sole general partner. Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. and its 97.4% owned subsidiary, Mid-America Apartments, L.P., are both required to file quarterly reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “MAA” refer only to Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer collectively to Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Mid-America Apartments, L.P. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to the “Operating Partnership” or “MAALP” refer to Mid-America Apartments, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. “Common stock” refers to the common stock of MAA, “preferred stock” refers to the preferred stock of MAA, and “shareholders” refers to the holders of shares of MAA’s common stock or preferred stock, as applicable. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership are referred to as “OP Units” and the holders of the OP Units are referred to as “common unitholders.”

As of March 31, 2025, MAA owned 116,916,381 OP Units (97.4% of the total number of OP Units). MAA conducts substantially all of its business and holds substantially all of its assets, directly or indirectly, through the Operating Partnership, and by virtue of its ownership of the OP Units and being the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, MAA has the ability to control all of the day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership.

We believe combining the periodic reports of MAA and the Operating Partnership, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, into this report results in the following benefits:

•
enhances investors’ understanding of MAA and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;
•
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both MAA and the Operating Partnership; and
•
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

MAA, an S&P 500 company, is a multifamily-focused, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Management operates MAA and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company is comprised of individuals who are officers of MAA and employees of the Operating Partnership. We believe it is important to understand the few differences between MAA and the Operating Partnership in the context of how MAA and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. MAA and the Operating Partnership are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT. MAA’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles MAA to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to MAA’s percentage interest therein and entitles MAA to vote on substantially all matters requiring a vote of the partners. MAA’s only material asset is its ownership of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (other than cash held by MAA from time to time); therefore, MAA’s primary function is acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership from time to time. The Operating Partnership holds, directly or indirectly, all of the real estate assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by MAA, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of OP Units.

The presentation of MAA’s shareholders’ equity and the Operating Partnership’s capital are the principal areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of MAA and those of the Operating Partnership. MAA’s shareholders’ equity may include shares of preferred stock, shares of common stock, additional paid-in capital, cumulative earnings, cumulative distributions, noncontrolling interests, treasury shares, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and redeemable common stock. The Operating Partnership’s capital may include common capital and preferred capital of the general partner (MAA), limited partners’ common capital and preferred capital, noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and redeemable common units. Holders of OP Units (other than MAA) may require the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units from time to time, in which case the Operating Partnership may, at its option, pay the redemption price either in cash (in an amount per OP Unit equal, in general, to the average closing price of MAA’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, over a specified period prior to the redemption date) or by delivering one share of MAA’s common stock (subject to adjustment under specified circumstances) for each OP Unit so redeemed.

3

In order to highlight the material differences between MAA and the Operating Partnership, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes sections that separately present and discuss areas that are materially different between MAA and the Operating Partnership, including:

•
the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this report;
•
certain accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 2 - Earnings per Common Share of MAA and Note 3 - Earnings per OP Unit of MAALP; Note 4 - MAA Equity and Note 5 - MAALP Capital; and Note 8 - Shareholders’ Equity of MAA and Note 9 - Partners’ Capital of MAALP;
•
the controls and procedures in Part 1, Item 4 of this report; and
•
the certifications included as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this report.

In the sections that combine disclosures for MAA and the Operating Partnership, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership (directly or indirectly through one of its subsidiaries) is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues debt, management believes this presentation is appropriate for the reasons set forth above and because we operate the business through the Operating Partnership. MAA, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries operate as one consolidated business, but MAA, the Operating Partnership and each of its subsidiaries are separate, distinct legal entities.

Notes to Condensed Consoli dated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the “Company” refer collectively to Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Mid-America Apartments, L.P. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “MAA” refer only to Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., and not any of its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the references to the “Operating Partnership” or “MAALP” refer to Mid-America Apartments, L.P., together with its consolidated subsidiaries. “Common stock” refers to the common stock of MAA, “preferred stock” refers to the preferred stock of MAA, and “shareholders” refers to the holders of shares of MAA’s common stock or preferred stock, as applicable. The common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are referred to as “OP Units,” and the holders of the OP Units are referred to as “common unitholders.”

As of March 31, 2025, MAA owned 116,916,381 OP Units (or 97.4% of the total number of OP Units). MAA conducts substantially all of its business and holds substantially all of its assets, directly or indirectly, through the Operating Partnership, and by virtue of its ownership of the OP Units and being the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, MAA has the ability to control all of the day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership.

Management believes combining the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of MAA and the Operating Partnership results in the following benefits:

•
enhances a readers’ understanding of MAA and the Operating Partnership by enabling the reader to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;
•
eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both MAA and the Operating Partnership; and
•
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined set of notes instead of two separate sets.

MAA, an S&P 500 company, is a multifamily-focused, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Management operates MAA and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company is comprised of individuals who are officers of MAA and employees of the Operating Partnership. Management believes it is important to understand the few differences between MAA and the Operating Partnership in the context of how MAA and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. MAA and the Operating Partnership are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT. MAA’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles MAA to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to MAA’s percentage interest therein and entitles MAA to vote on substantially all matters requiring a vote of the partners. MAA’s only material asset is its ownership of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (other than cash held by MAA from time to time); therefore, MAA’s primary function is acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership from time to time. The Operating Partnership holds, directly or indirectly, all of the Company’s real estate assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by MAA, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of OP Units.

The presentations of MAA’s shareholders’ equity and the Operating Partnership’s capital are the principal areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of MAA and those of the Operating Partnership. MAA’s shareholders’ equity may include shares of preferred stock, shares of common stock, additional paid-in capital, cumulative earnings, cumulative distributions, noncontrolling interests, treasury shares, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and redeemable common stock. The Operating Partnership’s capital may include common capital and preferred capital of the general partner (MAA), limited partners’ common capital and preferred capital, noncontrolling interests, accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and redeemable common units. Holders of OP Units (other than MAA) may require the Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units from time to time, in which case the Operating Partnership may, at its option, pay the redemption price either in cash (in an amount per OP Unit equal, in general, to the average closing price of MAA’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, over a specified period prior to the redemption date) or by delivering one share of MAA’s common stock (subject to adjustment under specified circumstances) for each OP Unit so redeemed.

Organization of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.

The Company owns, operates, acquires and selectively develops apartment communities primarily located in the Southeast, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned and operated 291 apartment communities (which does not include development communities under construction) through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and had an ownership interest in one apartment community through an unconsolidated real estate joint venture. As of March 31, 2025, the Company also had seven development communities under construction, totaling 2,312 apartment units once complete, and development costs of $546.5 million had been incurred through March 31, 2025. The Company expects to complete two of these developments in 2025, four in 2026 and one in 2027. As of March 31, 2025, 35 of the Company’s apartment communities included retail components. The Company’s apartment communities, including development communities under construction, were located across 16 states and the District of Columbia as of March 31, 2025.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements of MAA presented herein include the accounts of MAA, the Operating Partnership and all other subsidiaries in which MAA has a controlling financial interest. MAA owns, directly or indirectly, approximately 80% to 100% of all consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included, and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company invests in entities that may qualify as variable interest entities, or VIEs, and MAALP is considered a VIE. A VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power to direct the activities of a legal entity as well as the obligation to absorb its expected losses or the right to receive its expected residual returns. The Company consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary and uses the equity method to account for investments that qualify as VIEs but for which it is not the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to, those activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities. MAALP is classified as a VIE because the limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights, and the Company has concluded it is the primary beneficiary of MAALP. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities for which the Company exercises significant influence but does not have the ability to exercise control. The factors considered in determining whether the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence or control include ownership of voting interests and participatory rights of investors (see “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” below).

Noncontrolling Interests

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two types of noncontrolling interests with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries: (1) noncontrolling interests related to the common unitholders of its Operating Partnership; and (2) noncontrolling interests related to its consolidated real estate entities. The noncontrolling interests relating to the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by the holders of the Class A OP Units. MAA is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and holds all of the outstanding Class B OP Units. Net income (after allocations to preferred ownership interests) is allocated to MAA and the noncontrolling interests based on their respective ownership percentages of the Operating Partnership. Issuance of additional Class A OP Units or Class B OP Units changes the ownership percentage of both the noncontrolling interests and MAA. The issuance of Class B OP Units generally occurs when MAA issues common stock and the issuance proceeds are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Class B OP Units equal to the number of shares of MAA’s common stock issued. At each reporting period, the allocation between total MAA shareholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests is adjusted to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership. MAA’s Board of Directors established economic rights in respect to each Class A OP Unit that were equivalent to the economic rights in respect to each share of MAA common stock. See Note 9 for additional details.

The noncontrolling interests relating to the Company’s consolidated real estate entities are owned by private real estate companies that are generally responsible for the development, construction and lease-up of the apartment communities that are owned through the consolidated real estate entities with a noncontrolling interest. The entities were determined to be VIE’s with the Company designated as the primary beneficiary. As a result, the accounts of the entities are consolidated by the Company. As of March 31, 2025, the consolidated assets of the Company’s consolidated real estate entities with a noncontrolling interest were $463.8 million, and consolidated liabilities were $20.8 million, net of eliminations. As of December 31, 2024, the consolidated assets of the Company’s consolidated real estate entities with a noncontrolling interest were $432.2 million, and consolidated liabilities were $27.1 million, net of eliminations.

14

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in a real estate joint venture, as well as six technology-focused limited partnerships that each qualify as a VIE. Management determined the Company is not the primary beneficiary in any of these investments but does have the ability to exert significant influence over the operations and financial policies of the real estate joint venture and considers its investments in the limited partnerships to be more than minor. The Company’s investment in the real estate joint venture was $41.8 million and $41.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in “Investment in real estate joint venture” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company accounts for its investments in the technology-focused limited partnerships on a three month lag due to the timing the limited partnerships’ financial information is made available to the Company. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s investments in the limited partnerships were $67.6 million and $62.2 million, respectively, and are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with any related earnings, including unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments of the limited partnerships which are recorded at the estimated fair value, recognized in “Other non-operating income” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $8.1 million of income, respectively, from its investments in the limited partnerships. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was committed to make additional capital contributions totaling $26.9 million if and when called by the general partners of the limited partnerships.

Marketable Equity Securities

The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities is measured at fair value based on the quoted share price of the securities and is included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with any related gains and losses, including realized and unrealized gains and losses, recognized in “Other non-operating income” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in the marketable equity securities was $2.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $3.0 million of expense, respectively, from its investment in marketable equity securities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company primarily leases multifamily residential apartments to residents under operating leases generally due on a monthly basis with terms of approximately one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, in circumstances where a lease incentive is provided to residents, the incentive is recognized as a reduction of rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the reasonably assured lease term. Rental revenues represent approximately 94% of the Company’s total revenues and include gross rents charged less adjustments for concessions and bad debt. Approximately 5% of the Company’s total revenues represent reimbursable property revenues from its residents for utility reimbursements, which are generally recognized and due on a monthly basis as residents obtain control of the service over the term of the lease. The remaining 1% of the Company’s total revenues represents other non-lease property revenues primarily driven by nonrefundable fees and commissions, which are recognized when earned.

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, rental revenues and reimbursable property revenues meet the criteria to be aggregated into a single lease component and are reported on a combined basis in the line item “Rental revenues,” as presented in the disaggregation of the Company’s revenues in Note 11. Other non-lease property revenues are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue recognized outside of the scope of ASC Topic 842 to be recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Other non-lease property revenues are reported in the line item “Other property revenues,” as presented in the disaggregation of the Company’s revenues in Note 11.

Leases

The Company is the lessee under certain ground, office, equipment and other operational leases, all of which are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for all leases where the Company is the lessee with terms of more than 12 months, and a related lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, right-of-use assets recorded within “Other assets” totaled $39.9 million and $40.5 million, respectively, and related lease liabilities recorded within “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” totaled $25.7 million and $26.1 million, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was immaterial to the Company. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was also immaterial. See Note 10 for additional disclosures regarding leases.

15

Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to the valuation of acquired real estate assets recorded at fair value, to its impairment valuation analysis of real estate assets and to its valuation and disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, which primarily consists of marketable equity securities, indebtedness and derivative instruments. Fair value disclosures required under ASC Topic 820 for the Company’s financial instruments as well as the Company’s derivative accounting policies are summarized in Note 7 utilizing the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability.

Certain long-lived assets are recorded at fair value when they are acquired or initially consolidated. The inputs associated with the valuation of long-lived assets are generally included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

2. Earnings per Common Share of MAA

Basic earnings per share is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income available to MAA common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted share awards contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends and participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and, accordingly, are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method of computing basic earnings per share. Both the unvested restricted shares and other potentially dilutive common shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis with diluted earnings per share being the more dilutive of the treasury stock or two-class methods. OP Units are included in dilutive earnings per share calculations when the units are dilutive to earnings per share.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, MAA’s diluted earnings per share was computed using the treasury stock method as presented below (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts):

|  | Three months ended March 31, |

Earnings per common share - diluted |  | $ | 1.54 |  |  | $ | 1.22 |

(1)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 3.1 million OP Units and their related income are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations as they are not dilutive.

3. Earnings per OP Unit of MAALP

Basic earnings per common unit is computed using the two-class method by dividing net income available for common unitholders by the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding during the period. All outstanding unvested restricted unit awards contain rights to non-forfeitable distributions and participate in undistributed earnings with common unitholders and, accordingly, are considered participating securities that are included in the two-class method of computing basic earnings per common unit. Diluted earnings per common unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue OP Units were exercised or converted into OP Units. Both the unvested restricted unit awards and other potentially dilutive common units, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per common unit on a diluted basis with diluted earnings per common unit being the more dilutive of the treasury stock or two-class methods.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, MAALP’s diluted earnings per common unit was computed using the treasury stock method as presented below (dollars and units in thousands, except per unit amounts):

|  | Three months ended March 31, |

7. Financial Instruments and Derivatives

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short term nature.

Fixed rate notes payable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $4.7 billion for each time period and had estimated fair values of $4.4 billion for each time period (excluding prepayment penalties). The fair values of fixed rate debt are determined by using the present value of future cash outflows discounted with the applicable current market rate plus a credit spread. The carrying values of variable rate debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $310.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively, and the variable rate debt had estimated fair values of $310.0 million and $250.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair values of variable rate debt is determined using the stated variable rate plus the current market credit spread. The variable rates reset at various maturities typically less than 30 days, and management concluded these rates reasonably estimate current market rates.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had one outstanding series of cumulative redeemable preferred stock, which is referred to as the MAA Series I preferred stock (see Note 8). The Company has recognized a derivative asset related to the redemption feature embedded in the MAA Series I preferred stock. The derivative asset is valued using widely accepted valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow analysis in which the perpetual value of the preferred shares is compared to the value of the preferred shares assuming the call option is exercised, with the value of the bifurcated call option as the difference between the two values. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the redeemable preferred shares, which are redeemable at the Company’s option beginning on October 1, 2026 at the redemption price of $50.00 per share. The Company may use various inputs in the analysis, including risk adjusted yields of relevant MAALP bond issuances and yields and spreads of relevant indices, estimated yields on preferred stock instruments from REITs with similar credit ratings as MAA, treasury rates and trading data available of prices of the preferred shares, to determine the fair value of the bifurcated call option.

The redemption feature embedded in the MAA Series I preferred stock is reported as a derivative asset in “Other assets” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is adjusted to its fair value at each reporting date, with a corresponding non-cash adjustment to “Other non-operating income” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $12.7 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

The Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its outstanding debt and its embedded derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and as a result, the fair value valuations of its debt and embedded derivative held as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s marketable equity securities discussed in Note 1 is based on quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Terminated Cash Flow Hedges of Interest

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $6.6 million recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” or AOCL, related to realized losses associated with terminated interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedging instruments prior to their termination. The realized losses associated with the terminated interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s debt and will continue to be reclassified to interest expense until the debt’s maturity. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates an additional $1.6 million will be reclassified to earnings as an increase to “Interest expense.”

Unless otherwise stated in the Partnership Agreement, this power includes, but is not limited to, acquiring, leasing or disposing of any real property; constructing buildings and making other improvements to properties owned; borrowing money, modifying or extinguishing current borrowings, issuing evidence of indebtedness and securing such indebtedness by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge or other lien on MAALP’s assets; and distribution of MAALP’s cash or other assets in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. MAA can generally, at its sole discretion, issue and redeem OP Units and determine the consideration to be received or the redemption price to be paid, as applicable. The general partner may delegate these and other powers granted to it if the general partner remains in supervision of the designee.

Under the Partnership Agreement, MAALP may issue Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units. Class A OP Units are any OP Units other than Class B OP Units, while Class B OP Units are those issued to or held by MAALP’s general partner or any of its subsidiaries. In general, the limited partners do not have the power to participate in the management or control of MAALP’s business except in limited circumstances, including changes in the general partner and protective rights if the general partner acts outside of the provisions provided in the Partnership Agreement. The transferability of Class A OP Units is also limited by the Partnership Agreement.

22

Net income of MAALP (after allocations to preferred ownership interests) is allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective ownership percentages of MAALP. Issuance or redemption of additional Class A OP Units or Class B OP Units changes the relative ownership percentage of the partners. The issuance of Class B OP Units generally occurs when MAA issues common stock and the proceeds from that issuance are contributed to MAALP in exchange for the issuance to MAA of a number of OP Units equal to the number of shares of common stock issued. Likewise, if MAA repurchases or redeems outstanding shares of common stock, MAALP generally redeems an equal number of Class B OP Units with similar terms held by MAA for a redemption price equal to the purchase price of those shares of common stock. At each reporting period, the allocation between general partner capital and limited partner capital is adjusted to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying capital of MAALP. Holders of the Class A OP Units may require MAA to redeem their Class A OP Units, in which case MAA may, at its option, pay the redemption price either in cash (in an amount per Class A OP Unit equal, in general, to the average closing price of MAA’s common stock on the NYSE over a specified period prior to the redemption date) or by delivering one share of MAA common stock (subject to adjustment under specified circumstances) for each Class A OP Unit so redeemed.

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 3,060,552 Class A OP Units were outstanding and redeemable for 3,060,552 shares of MAA common stock, with an approximate value of $512.9 million, based on the closing price of MAA’s common stock on March 31, 2025 of $167.58 per share. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 3,132,552 Class A OP Units were outstanding and redeemable for 3,132,552 shares of MAA common stock, with an approximate value of $412.2 million, based on the closing price of MAA’s common stock on March 31, 2024 of $131.58 per share. MAALP pays the same per unit distributions in respect to the OP Units as the per share dividends MAA pays in respect to its common stock.

As of March 31, 2025, MAALP had one outstanding series of cumulative redeemable preferred units, or the MAALP Series I preferred units. The MAALP Series I preferred units have the same characteristics as the MAA Series I preferred stock described in Note 8. As of March 31, 2025, 867,846 units of the MAALP Series I preferred units were outstanding and owned by MAA. See Note 7 for details of the valuation of the derivative asset related to the redemption feature embedded in the MAALP Series I preferred units.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company’s operating leases include a ground lease expiring in 2074 related to one of its apartment communities and an office lease expiring in 2028 related to its corporate headquarters. Both leases contain stated rent increases that are generally intended to compensate for the impact of inflation. The Company also has other commitments related to negligible office and equipment operating leases. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 35 years and a weighted average discount rate of approximately 4.6%.

The table below reconciles undiscounted cash flows for each of the first five years and total of the remaining years to the right-of-use lease liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

In late 2022 and early 2023, 28 putative class action lawsuits were filed against RealPage, Inc., along with over 50 of the largest owners and operators of apartment communities in the country, including the Company (the “RealPage Litigation”), alleging that RealPage and lessors of multifamily residential real estate conspired to artificially inflate the prices of multifamily residential real estate above competitive levels through the use of RealPage’s revenue management software. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs and injunctive relief. The Company believes the RealPage Litigation is without merit as it pertains to the Company and plans to vigorously defend the RealPage Litigation. On April 10, 2023, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order centralizing the cases in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. Another lawsuit alleging violations of the District of Columbia’s antitrust laws and seeking similar relief was filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in November 2023 by the District of Columbia against RealPage, Inc. and a number of large apartment community owners and operators, including the Company. The Company believes there are defenses, both factual and legal, to the allegations in these various proceedings and the Company plans to vigorously defend itself. As these proceedings are in the early stages, it is not possible for the Company to predict any outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, which could be associated with any adverse decision. While the Company does not believe that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, the Company cannot give assurance that the proceedings will not have a material effect on its results of operations.

The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business operations. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently believe that these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the event of a negative outcome. Matters that arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage and employment practices are generally covered by insurance.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s accrual for loss contingencies relating to unresolved legal matters, including the cost to defend, was $8.6 million and $11.1 million in the aggregate, respectively. The loss contingencies are presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11. Segment Information

As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned and operated 291 multifamily apartment communities (which does not include development communities under construction) in 16 different states from which it derived all significant sources of earnings and operating cash flows. The Company views each consolidated apartment community as an operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance and determines resource allocations of each of the apartment communities on a Same Store and Non-Same Store and Other basis, as well as an individual apartmen t community basis. The Company has aggregated its operating segments into two reportable segments as management believes the apartment communities in each reportable segment generally have similar economic characteristics, facilities, services and residents.

The following reflects the two reportable segments for the Company:

•
Same Store includes communities that the Company has owned and have been stabilized for at least a full 12 months as of the first day of the calendar year.
•
Non-Same Store and Other includes recently acquired communities, communities being developed or in lease-up, communities that have been disposed of or identified for disposition, communities that have experienced a significant casualty loss and stabilized communities that do not meet the requirements to be Same Store communities. Also included in Non-Same Store and Other are non-multifamily activities and expenses related to severe weather events, including hurricanes and winter storms.

On the first day of each calendar year, the Company determines the composition of its Same Store and Non-Same Store and Other reportable segments for that year as well as adjusts the previous year, which allows the Company to evaluate full period-over-period operating comparisons. Communities previously in development or lease-up are added to the Same Store segment on the first day of the calendar year after the community has been owned and stabilized for at least a full 12 months. Communities are considered stabilized when achieving 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days.

The chief operating decision maker utilizes net operating income, or NOI, in evaluating the performance of the operating segments. Total NOI represents total 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. Management believes that NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance of the segments because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not directly related to property operating performance.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis o f Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion analyzes the financial condition and results of operations of both MAA and the Operating Partnership, of which MAA is the sole general partner and in which MAA owned a 97.4% interest as of March 31, 2025. MAA conducts all of its business through the Operating Partnership and its various subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

MAA, an S&P 500 company, is a multifamily-focused, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. We own, operate, acquire and selectively develop apartment communities primarily located in the Southeast, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. As of March 31, 2025, we owned and operated 291 apartment communities (which does not include development communities under construction) through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, and had an ownership interest in one apartment community through an unconsolidated real estate joint venture. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, we had seven development communities under construction, and 35 of our apartment communities included retail components. Our apartment communities, including development communities under construction, were located across 16 states and the District of Columbia as of March 31, 2025.

We report in two segments, Same Store and Non-Same Store and Other. Our Same Store segment represents those apartment communities that have been owned and stabilized for at least 12 months as of the first day of the calendar year. Communities are considered stabilized when achieving 90% average physical occupancy for 90 days. Our Non-Same Store and Other segment includes recently acquired communities, communities being developed or in lease-up, communities that have been disposed of or identified for disposition, communities that have incurred a significant casualty loss and stabilized communities that do not meet the requirements to be Same Store communities. Also included in our Non-Same Store and Other segment are non-multifamily activities and expenses related to severe weather events, including hurricanes and winter storms. Additional information regarding the composition of our segments is included in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net income available for MAA common shareholders was $180.8 million as compared to $142.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $71.9 million of gain related to the sale of depreciable real estate assets and $0.4 million of non-cash loss related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included $13.1 million of non-cash gain related to the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased 1.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by 1.8% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by an 1.2% increase in our Same Store segment and 10.1% increase in our Non-Same Store and Other segment. The primary drivers of these changes are discussed in the “Results of Operations” section.

Trends

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue for our Same Store segment remained steady, growing 0.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The slight increase in revenues for our Same Store segment was driven by higher occupancy and improved collections, partially offset by a decrease in average effective rent per unit. The average effective rent per unit for our Same Store segment decreased to an average effective rent per unit of $1,690 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $1,699 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This represents a decrease of 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, after the effect of leasing concessions, for occupied apartment units plus prevalent market rates asked for unoccupied apartment units, divided by the total number of units. Leasing

27

concessions represent discounts to the current market rate. We believe average effective rent per unit is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing; however, it does not represent actual rental revenue collected per unit.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, average physical occupancy for our Same Store segment was 95.6%, as compared to 95.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average physical occupancy is a measurement of the total number of our apartment units that are occupied by residents, and it represents the average of the daily physical occupancy for the period.

As of March 31, 2025, resident turnover for our Same Store segment was 41.5% as compared to 44.4% as of March 31, 2024. Resident turnover represents resident move outs, excluding transfers within the Same Store segment, as a percentage of expiring leases on a trailing twelve-month basis as of the end of the reported period.

An important part of our portfolio strategy is to maintain diversity of markets, submarkets, product types and price points in the Southeast, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. We have multifamily assets in 38 defined markets, with a presence in approximately 150 submarkets and a mixture of garden-style, mid-rise and high-rise communities. This diversity helps to mitigate exposure to economic issues, including supply and demand factors, in any one geographic market or area. We believe that a well-balanced portfolio, including both urban and suburban locations, with a broad range of monthly rent price points, will provide higher performance and lower volatility throughout the full economic cycle.

Demand for apartments in our markets was solid during the first quarter of 2025, as evidenced by stable occupancy, high leasing traffic, low resident turnover and strong collections performance. We believe demand for apartments is primarily driven by general economic conditions in our markets and is particularly correlated to job growth, population growth, household formation and in-migration over the long term. We continue to monitor pressures surrounding housing supply, inflation trends and general economic conditions. A worsening of the current environment could contribute to uncertain rent collections going forward, suppress demand for apartments and could drive lower rent growth on new leases and renewals than what we achieved in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Current elevated supply levels are impacting rent growth performance in certain markets of our portfolio. However, with continued solid demand and the resulting steady absorption of the new supply pipeline, we continue to believe that the decline in new supply deliveries expected throughout 2025 will fuel a strong and quick rebound in rent performance.

Access to the financial markets remains available for high-credit rated borrowers, such as ourselves. However, overall borrowing costs remain at elevated levels and we expect this trend to continue. As of March 31, 2025, we had $310.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our commercial paper program. Our continued exposure to elevated interest rates will be a result of additional variable rate borrowings or refinancing activities.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we achieved net income available for MAA common shareholders of $180.8 million, a 26.6% increase as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, and total revenue growth of $5.7 million, representing an 1.0% increase in property revenues as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following discussion describes the primary drivers of the increase in net income available for MAA common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Property Revenues

The following table reflects our property revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three months ended March 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | Increase |  |  | % Increase |
Same Store |  | $ | 518,825 |  |  | $ | 518,533 |  |  | $ | 292 |  |  |  | 0.1 | %
Non-Same Store and Other |  |  | 30,470 |  |  |  | 25,089 |  |  |  | 5,381 |  |  |  | 21.4 | %
Total |  | $ | 549,295 |  |  | $ | 543,622 |  |  | $ | 5,673 |  |  |  | 1.0 | %

The increase in property revenues from the Non-Same Store and Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of increased revenues from completed development communities and recently acquired communities.

The increase in property operating expenses for our Same Store segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increases in personnel expense of $2.1 million, utilities expense of $1.7 million, office operations expense of $1.1 million, and building repair and maintenance of $0.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in property taxes of $4.5 million. The increase in property operating expenses from the Non-Same Store and Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily the result of increased expenses from completed development communities and recently acquired communities.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $152.4 million, an increase of $9.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of depreciation expense associated with our completed development communities and capital spend activities completed after March 31, 2024 in the normal course of business through March 31, 2025.

Other Income and Expenses

Property management expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $20.6 million, an increase of $0.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $15.6 million, a decrease of $1.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $45.2 million, an increase of $4.8 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due to an increase in our average outstanding debt balance and an increase of 18 basis points in our effective interest rate, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Other non-operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.8 million, a decrease of $22.7 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by $0.7 million of net non-cash gain from investments. The income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by $13.1 million of non-cash gain related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, $5.2 million of net non-cash gain from investments and $5.1 million in net casualty related recoveries.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net income available for MAA common shareholders (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) excluding gains or losses on disposition of operating properties, asset impairment and gain on consolidation of third-party development, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, represents FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available for MAA common shareholders, or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Management believes that FFO is helpful to investors in understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets and gain on sale of depreciable real estate assets. We believe 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. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’, or NAREIT’s, definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

29

Core FFO represents FFO as adjusted for items that are not considered part of our 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; gain or loss on investments, net of tax; casualty related (recoveries) charges, net; gain or loss on debt extinguishment; legal costs, settlements and (recoveries), net, and mark-to-market debt adjustments. Because net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is added back to FFO, Core FFO, when used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, represents Core FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders.

Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available for MAA common shareholders, or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Management believes that Core FFO is helpful in understanding our 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 from rental activities. While our definition of Core FFO may be similar to others in the industry, our methodology for calculating Core FFO may differ from that utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income available for MAA common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders and Core FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as we believe net income available for MAA common shareholders is the most directly comparable GAAP measure (dollars in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, gain on investments is presented net of tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Core FFO attributable to common shareholders and unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $264.3 million, a decrease of $1.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of increases in interest expense of $4.8 million, property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, of $3.6 million, and property management expenses of $0.6 million partially offset by an increase in property revenues of $5.7 million and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million.

Net Debt, EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents unsecured notes payable and secured notes payable less cash and cash equivalents and 1031(b) exchange proceeds included in restricted cash. Management considers net debt a helpful tool in evaluating our debt position. Net debt should not be considered as an alternative to any GAAP measurement as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income taxes. As an owner and operator of real estate, management considers EBITDA to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDA excludes various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

EBITDA re is composed of EBITDA adjusted for the gain or loss on sale of depreciable assets, gain on consolidation of third-party development and adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDA re of an unconsolidated affiliate. As an owner and operator of real estate, management considers EBITDA re to be an important measure of performance from core operations because EBITDA re excludes various expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. While our definition of EBITDA re is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology utilized by other REITs to calculate EBITDA re and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. EBITDA re should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

30

Adjusted EBITDAre is comprised of EBITDAre further adjusted for items that are not considered part of our 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; gain or loss on investments; casualty related (recoveries) charges, net; gain or loss on debt extinguishment; and legal costs, settlements and (recoveries), net. As an owner and operator of real estate, management considers Adjusted EBITDAre to be an important measure of performance from core operations because Adjusted EBITDAre excludes various income and expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology utilized by other REITs to calculate Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

Management monitors its debt levels to a ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA re in order to maintain our investment grade credit ratings. We believe this is an important factor in the management of our debt levels to maintain an optimal capital structure, and it is also considered in the assignment of our credit ratings. Adjusted EBITDA re is measured on a trailing twelve-month basis.

The following table presents a reconciliation of unsecured notes payable and secured notes payable to net debt as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as we believe unsecured notes payable and secured notes payable, combined, is the most directly comparable GAAP measure (dollars in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with our accounting policies, we recognized $8.0 million of accrued legal defense costs that are expected to be incurred through July 2027.

Our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA re ratio as of March 31, 2025 was 4.0x, consistent with our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA re ratio as of December 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA re increased $3.0 million for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024, while net debt increased $48.5 million as of March 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA re was primarily due to an increase in property revenues, partially offset by an increase in property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, while the increase in net debt was primarily due to an increase in unsecured commercial paper, partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The increase in unsecured commercial paper was primarily driven by an increase in cash requirements to fund development activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as well as general economic and market conditions, are the principal factors affecting our liquidity and capital resources.

31

We expect that our primary uses of cash will be to fund our ongoing operating needs, to fund our ongoing capital spending requirements, which relate primarily to our development, redevelopment and property repositioning activities, to repay maturing borrowings, to fund the future acquisition of assets and to pay shareholder dividends. We expect to meet our cash requirements through net cash flows from operating activities, existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our commercial paper program and our revolving credit facility, the future issuance of debt and equity and the future disposition of assets.

We historically have had positive net cash flows from operating activities. We believe that future net cash flows generated from operating activities, existing unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowing capacity under our current commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, and our ability to issue debt and equity will provide sufficient liquidity to fund the cash requirements for our business over the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.0 billion of combined unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available capacity under our revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $196.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in operating cash flows was primarily driven by our operating performance.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $61.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $31.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary drivers of the change were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Primary drivers of cash (outflow) inflow |  |  |  |
|  | during the three months ended March 31, |  |  | (Decrease) Increase |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | in Net Cash |
Capital improvements and other |  | $ | (72,636 | ) |  | $ | (52,101 | ) |  | $ | (20,535 | )
Development costs |  |  | (66,222 | ) |  |  | (45,512 | ) |  |  | (20,710 | )
Proceeds from real estate asset dispositions |  |  | 81,128 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 81,128 |
Net proceeds from insurance recoveries |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,271 |  |  |  | (5,271 | )

The increase in cash outflows for capital improvements and other was primarily driven by increased capital spend relating to our property redevelopment and repositioning activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash outflows for development costs was primarily driven by increased development activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash inflows from proceeds from real estate asset dispositions resulted from the dispositions of two multifamily communities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to no dispositions of real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash inflows from net proceeds from insurance recoveries was driven by decreased insurance reimbursements received for property and storm-related casualty claims during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $122.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $28.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary drivers of the change were as follows (dollars in thousands):

|  | Primary drivers of cash inflow (outflow) |  |  |  |
|  | during the three months ended March 31, |  |  | Increase (Decrease) |
|  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | in Net Cash |
Net proceeds from (payments of) commercial paper |  | $ | 60,000 |  |  | $ | (260,000 | ) |  | $ | 320,000 |
Proceeds from notes payable |  |  | — |  |  |  | 346,567 |  |  |  | (346,567 | )
Dividends paid on common shares |  |  | (177,107 | ) |  |  | (171,570 | ) |  |  | (5,537 | )

The increase in cash inflows related to net proceeds from (payments of) commercial paper resulted from the increase in net borrowings of $60.0 million on our commercial paper program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the decrease in net borrowings of 260.0 million on our commercial paper program during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash inflows from proceeds from notes payable resulted from no issuance of unsecured senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the issuance of $350.0 million of unsecured senior notes during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash outflows from dividends paid on common shares primarily resulted from the increase in the dividend rate to $1.5150 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the dividend rate of $1.4700 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Equity

As of March 31, 2025, MAA owned 116,916,381 OP Units, comprising a 97.4% limited partnership interest in MAALP, while the remaining 3,060,552 outstanding OP Units were held by limited partners of MAALP other than MAA. Holders of OP Units (other than MAA) may require us to redeem their OP Units from time to time, in which case we may, at our option, pay the redemption price either in cash (in an amount per OP Unit equal, in general, to the average closing price of MAA’s common stock on the NYSE over a specified period prior to the redemption date) or by delivering one share of MAA’s common stock (subject to adjustment under specified circumstances) for each OP Unit so redeemed. MAA has registered under the Securities Act the 3,060,552 shares of its common stock that, as of March 31, 2025, were issuable upon redemption of OP Units, in order for those shares to be sold freely in the public markets.

MAA has entered into an at-the-market equity offering program, or ATM program, enabling MAA to sell shares of its common stock into the existing market at current market prices from time to time to or through the sales agents under the ATM program. Pursuant to the ATM program, MAA from time to time may also enter into forward sale agreements and sell shares of its common stock pursuant to these agreements. Through the ATM program, MAA may issue up to an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of its common stock at such times as determined by MAA.

MAA has no obligation to issue shares through the ATM program. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, MAA did not sell any shares of common stock under its ATM program. As of March 31, 2025, 4.0 million shares of MAA’s common stock remained issuable under the ATM program.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $832.8 million of outstanding debt and debt service obligations payable in the year ending December 31, 2025, including the $400.0 million of publicly issued unsecured senior notes maturing in November 2025, the $310.0 million of commercial paper borrowings due April 2025, and $122.8 million of interest payments on fixed rate debt obligations in the year ending December 31, 2025. For a schedule of the maturity dates of our outstanding debt beyond 2025, see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Debt” section above. As of March 31, 2025, we also had obligations to make additional capital contributions to five technology-focused limited partnerships in which we hold equity interests. The capital contributions may be called by the general partners at any time after giving appropriate notice. As of March 31, 2025, we had committed to make additional capital contributions totaling up to $26.9 million if and when called by the general partners of the limited partnerships.

We have other material cash requirements that do not represent contractual obligations, but that we expect to incur in the ordinary course of our business.

34

As of March 31, 2025, we had seven development communities under construction totaling 2,312 apartment units once complete. Total expected costs for the seven development projects are $851.5 million, of which $546.5 million had been incurred through March 31, 2025. In addition, our property redevelopment and repositioning activities are ongoing, and we incur expenditures relating to recurring capital replacements, which typically include scheduled carpet replacement, new roofs, HVAC units, plumbing, concrete, masonry and other paving, pools and various exterior building improvements. For the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect that our total capital expenditures relating to our development activities, our property redevelopment and repositioning activities and recurring capital replacements will be in line with our total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2024. We expect to have additional development projects in the future.

We typically declare cash dividends on MAA’s common stock on a quarterly basis, subject to approval by MAA’s Board of Directors. We expect to pay quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $6.06 per share of MAA common stock during the year ending December 31, 2025. The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on actual cash flows from operations, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and other factors as MAA’s Board of Directors deems relevant. MAA’s Board of Directors may modify our dividend policy from time to time.

For information regarding our material cash requirements as of December 31, 2024, see Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025.

Inflation

Our resident leases at our apartment communities allow for adjustments in the rental rate at the time of renewal, which may enable us to seek rent increases. The majority of our leases are for one year or less. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce our risk to adverse effects of inflation on our revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we experienced inflationary pressures that drove higher operating expenses, primarily in personnel, utilities, office operations, and building repair and maintenance expenses.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025, for discussions of our critical accounting estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to these estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on our borrowings. As of March 31, 2025, 20.1% of our total market capitalization consisted of debt borrowings. Our interest rate risk objective is to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve this objective, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments and, from time to time, interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate on anticipated future debt transactions. We use our best efforts to have our debt instruments mature across multiple years, which we believe limits our exposure to interest rate changes in any one year. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2025, 93.9% of our outstanding debt was subject to fixed rates. We regularly review interest rate exposure on outstanding borrowings in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. There have been no material changes in our market risk as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025.
