Balance Sheet and Financing Activities
As of December 31, 2025, MAA had $879.2 million of combined cash and available capacity under MAALP's unsecured revolving credit facility.

In October 2025, MAALP amended its unsecured revolving credit facility, increasing its borrowing capacity to $1.5 billion with an option to expand to $2.0 billion. The amended facility has a maturity date of January 2030 with two six-month extension options, and bears interest at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a spread determined by a credit ratings grid, currently at 0.725%.  MAALP also amended its commercial paper program in October 2025 to increase the maximum aggregate principal amount of notes that may be outstanding under the program to $750.0 million.

Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing July 15, 2026. The notes have an effective interest rate of 4.755%. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to repay borrowings under MAALP's commercial paper program, which were used to repay MAALP's 2015 publicly issued notes that matured in November 2025.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, MAA repurchased 0.2 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average share price of $131.61 for total consideration of approximately $27 million.

Balance sheet highlights as of December 31, 2025 are summarized below (dollars in billions):

Corporate Sustainability
As of December 31, 2025, MAA's corporate initiatives have led to significant progress in MAA's key sustainability performance areas: People Engagement, Portfolio Resiliency, and Stakeholder Commitment. Documented within MAA's 6th annual Corporate Sustainability Report, published in September 2025, and using performance data through December 31, 2024, MAA achieved a 29% reduction in energy use intensity (EUI) and a 44% reduction in greenhouse gas emission intensity (GEI) from its 2018 baseline, establishing a rapid pace toward its goal to reduce EUI and GEI by 35% and 45% by 2028, respectively.  

MAA believes its resource-efficiency initiatives advance an integrated pathway for sustainability while strengthening operational efficiency and resiliency. Through 2025, MAA expanded smart irrigation systems to 55 properties, completed a building automation system pilot across nine properties to improve common-area energy performance, and initiated solar installations at three properties. These efforts were in parallel to continued portfolio enhancements, including 15,700+ ENERGY STAR appliance installations and EV charging ports now totaling 545 across MAA's portfolio.

In 2025, MAA also reported strong resident and community outcomes, including a 4.7/5 average Google Star rating, and hosted a second annual MAAke a Difference Day, building on MAA's inaugural MAAke a Difference Day in 2024.  Most recent third-party benchmarking results provide additional validation of performance, including a CDP Climate Change score of B and a GRESB Standing Investments score of 80, exceeding the GRESB global average and earning Green Star status.

128th Consecutive Quarterly Common Dividend Declared
MAA declared its 128th consecutive quarterly common dividend, which was paid on January 30, 2026 to holders of record on January 15, 2026. The current annual dividend rate is $6.12 per common share. The timing and amount of future dividends will depend on actual cash flows from operations, MAA's 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 the dividend policy from time to time.

2026 Earnings and Same Store Guidance
MAA is providing its initial 2026 guidance for Earnings per diluted common share, Core FFO per diluted Share, Core AFFO per diluted Share and Same Store performance. MAA expects to provide updates to its 2026 Earnings per diluted common share, Core FFO per diluted Share and Core AFFO per diluted Share guidance on a quarterly basis.

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

The projected difference between Core FFO per diluted Share for the full year of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the full year of 2026 is summarized below:

MAA expects Core FFO for the first quarter of 2026 to be in the range of $2.05 to $2.17 per diluted Share, or $2.11 per diluted Share at the midpoint. The projected difference from Core FFO per diluted Share for the fourth quarter of 2025 to the midpoint of MAA's guidance for the first quarter of 2026 is summarized below:

MAA does not forecast Earnings per diluted common share on a quarterly basis as MAA generally cannot predict the timing of forecasted acquisition and disposition activity within a particular quarter (rather than during the course of the full year). Additional details and guidance items are provided in the Supplemental Data to this release.
