Forward guidance

Elme Communities expects Core FFO for 2025 to range from $0.91 to $0.97 per fully diluted share, driven by strong demand trends and improving credit dynamics.

  • Guidance does not consider any potential future acquisitions or dispositions in 2025.
  • Economic factors such as inflation and interest rate changes are outside the Company's control.
