### AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (AVB) — Financial Snapshot

#### Income Statement Summary

| Metric | FY2022 | FY2023 | FY2024 | YoY |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|-----|
| Revenue | $2.59B | $2.77B | $2.91B | +5.3% |
| NOI Margin | ~65% | ~65% | ~65% | |

| Net Income | ~$1.2B | ~$1.4B | ~$1.1B | |

*REITs are best evaluated on Core FFO (Funds from Operations) rather than GAAP net income, which is distorted by non-cash depreciation charges. NOI = Net Operating Income.*

#### Cash Flow & Balance Sheet (FY2024)

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Core FFO | ~$1.93B |
| Dividend per Share | ~$6.84 (annualized) |
| Total Debt | ~$8.2B |
| Net Debt / EBITDA | ~5.5x |
| Development Pipeline (cost to complete) | ~$2.5B |

*AvalonBay maintains an investment-grade balance sheet (A-/Baa1) with low leverage for a development-active REIT. Access to low-cost capital enables ground-up development at accretive yields.*

#### Key Ratios (approximate)
- Price/Core FFO: ~18x | Cap Rate (implied): ~5% | Dividend Yield: ~3.5%
- Revenue Growth (FY2024): +5.3% | Same-Store Revenue Growth: +3.4%
- Core FFO Growth (FY2024): +3.6%

#### Growth Profile
AvalonBay delivered consistent mid-single-digit revenue growth through FY2022–FY2024 as post-COVID apartment demand recovery drove strong blended rent spreads. FY2025 growth moderated to ~3.7% as new apartment supply deliveries from 2022–2024 construction starts created concession pressure in some markets. FY2026 same-store revenue guidance is +1.4%, reflecting continued moderation before a supply-driven recovery in 2027+. The development pipeline (24 communities under construction) represents significant embedded NAV growth as projects stabilize.

#### Forward Estimates
- FY2025 Revenue: ~$3.04B (actual, +3.7% YoY)
- FY2026 Same-Store Revenue Growth: ~1.4% guidance; Core FFO/share growth expected flat to slightly up
- FY2027–2028: Analysts project strong recovery as new supply cycle peaks and delivery completions slow; Core FFO growth resumes at 4–6%
- Long-term: 3.8% dividend increase announced for 2025, consistent with management confidence in FCF durability
