UDR Announces Correction of Certain Operating Metrics and Reaffirms Prior Financials and 2021 Guidance

DENVER, CO., May 10, 2021 – UDR, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: UDR), a leading multifamily real estate investment trust, announced today the correction of certain operating metrics presented in its prior earnings release. The information in the Company’s earnings release and related quarterly Supplemental Information for the first quarter of 2021 regarding Effective Blended Lease Rate Growth, comprised of new lease growth and renewal lease growth rates (the “Metrics”) was incorrect. The Metrics are independent of and do not impact the Company’s financial, non-GAAP or other operating metrics. Further, the changes to the Metrics do not affect the Company’s previously reported financial results or the Company’s second quarter 2021 or full-year 2021 guidance, as previously announced on April 27, 2021.

For April 2021, the Effective Blended Lease Growth Rate as disclosed was +0.3% and as revised it was -1.6%.

The following table presents corrected metrics for the first quarter of 2021 at the market level, which replaces the information reported in Attachment 8(E) of the Company’s previously filed first quarter 2021 Supplemental Information dated as of April 27, 2021.
