FIRST QUARTER UPDATE

  • Year-over-year Same Store multifamily Blended Net Rental Growth Rate of 2.4%.
  • Year-over-year Same Store NOI growth of 3.2%.
  • Same Store occupancy of 94.0% (95.3% excluding Liberty Towers).
  • $45 million of non-strategic assets sold year to date, unwinding two joint ventures, with an additional $34 million under binding contract.
  • Subsequent to quarter-end, purchased our partner's interest in the Jersey City Urby joint venture, eliminating the Company's largest remaining unconsolidated joint venture for $38.5 million, rebranding the property to "Sable" and taking over management. The consolidation is expected to create over $1 million in annualized synergies.

Mahbod Nia, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the first quarter, Veris Residential continued to achieve strong operational results while advancing the corporate plan announced earlier this year. With a combined $79 million of non-strategic asset sales either closed or under binding contract this year, we continue to unlock value embedded within the Company, despite elevated levels of market volatility.

"In parallel, we further simplified our portfolio, consolidating our interest in the Jersey City Urby, now Sable, assuming management of the property. Leveraging the Veris Residential platform, we expect the property to realize over $1 million of annualized synergies on a run-rate basis."

JV INTEREST ACQUISITION

In April 2025, the Company acquired its joint venture partner's 15% interest in the entity that owns the property now known as "Sable" at Harborside for $38.5 million, including consideration for the tax credit and termination of the management contract. The acquisition was funded through proceeds from non-strategic asset sales.

Upon closing, the Company owned 100% interest in the property, and as a result, consolidated the asset and its corresponding property-level mortgage of $181.8 million. The property-level mortgage was subsequently modified to be an interest-only mortgage.

The Company anticipates over $1 million of annualized synergies as a result of integrating the asset into the Veris platform.

SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM

The Company announced a $100 million share repurchase program in February. No shares have been repurchased year to date.

DIVIDEND

The Company paid a dividend of $0.08 per share on April 10, 2025, for shareholders of record as of March 31, 2025.
