MAA Issues COVID-19 Response and 2020 Guidance Update


GERMANTOWN, Tenn., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or MAA (NYSE: MAA), today issued a statement regarding the company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The health and wellbeing of our residents, associates and all who visit our properties are MAA's highest priority," said Eric Bolton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "We are actively monitoring updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and complying with state and local orders aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus by limiting physical contact." Bolton added, "Our regional and corporate associates are working remotely and our leasing offices, although closed to the public, are functioning virtually to both assist new customers and support our current residents.  Efforts are underway to provide flexibility on April payments with residents who are financially impacted by the pandemic."

Chief Financial Officer Al Campbell reported: "We expect first quarter 2020 results to be in-line with our previously announced guidance.  Year to date through March 24, 2020, average daily physical occupancy for our same store portfolio is solid at 95.7%.  Our balance sheet remains very strong, with low leverage, significant capacity from undrawn committed credit facilities, and limited near-term debt maturities and funding obligations.  However, as we face uncertainty regarding the economic effects of the pandemic, we are withdrawing our full year 2020 guidance and will update our expectations when we report our first quarter 2020 results on April 29, 2020."
