Forward guidance

Management is reaffirming its 2023 Core FFO, which is expected to range from $0.96 to $1.04 per fully diluted share. Same-store multifamily NOI growth is expected to range from 9.0% to 11.0%.

Tailwinds

  • Same-store multifamily NOI growth is expected to range from 9.0% to 11.0%, which reflects year-over-year growth of 10% at the midpoint further building on the double-digit NOI growth achieved in the second half of 2022
  • Non-same-store multifamily NOI is expected to range from $12.75 million to $13.75 million
  • Other same-store NOI, which consists solely of Watergate 600, is expected to range from $13.0 million to $13.75 million
  • Property management expense is expected to range from $8.0 million to $8.5 million
  • G&A, net of core adjustments, is now expected to range from $25.75 million to $27.0 million, reflecting a $0.25 million decline compared to our prior guidance range

Headwinds

  • Interest expense is now expected to range from $29.0 million to $30.0 million, which incorporates a higher interest rate outlook, as federal reserve funds expectations have shifted since we initially announced our 2023 guidance last year. Our revised interest expense assumption also incorporates the impact of our new term loan.
  • No acquisitions are assumed in 2023.
  • Transformation Costs are expected to range from $3.0 million to $4.0 million
  • Includes Carlyle of Sandy Springs, Alder Park, Marietta Crossing, and Riverside Development. Guidance does not contemplate any additional acquisitions or dispositions.
  • Represents the expected final costs in 2023 related to the internalization of community-level operations
