Equity income from co-investments increased by $6.2 million or 53.4% to $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $11.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $5.2 million gain on sale of co-investment communities in the third quarter of 2025, and increases of $3.8 million in unrealized and realized gains from unconsolidated technology co-investments as a result of change in fair value of investments held by the co-investments. The increases were offset by a decrease of $3.3 million in income from preferred equity investments due to fewer outstanding investments at September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Previous wording

The average financial occupancy for the Company’s 2025 Same-Property portfolio (stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024) was 96.2% for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Financial occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental income by total scheduled rental income. Actual rental income represents contractual rental income pursuant to leases without considering delinquency and concessions. Total scheduled rental income represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied apartment homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant apartment homes valued at estimated market rents. The Company believes that financial occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant apartment home at its estimated market rate.

Current wording

The average financial occupancy for the Company’s 2025 Same-Property portfolio (stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) was 96.1% and 96.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Financial occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental income by total scheduled rental income. Actual rental income represents contractual rental income pursuant to leases without considering delinquency and concessions. Total scheduled rental income represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied apartment homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant apartment homes valued at estimated market rents. The Company believes that financial occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant apartment home at its estimated market rate.

Previous wording

The Company does not take into account delinquency and concessions to calculate actual rent for occupied apartment homes and market rents for vacant apartment homes. The calculation of financial occupancy compares contractual rates for occupied apartment homes to estimated market rents for unoccupied apartment homes, and thus the calculation compares the gross value of all apartment homes excluding delinquency and concessions. For apartment communities that are development properties in lease-up without stabilized occupancy figures, the Company believes the physical occupancy rate is the appropriate performance metric. While an apartment community is in the lease-up phase, the Company’s primary motivation is to stabilize the property, which may entail the use of rent concessions and other incentives, and thus financial occupancy, which is based on contractual income, is not considered the best metric to quantify occupancy.
