The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements appearing elsewhere herein and is based primarily on the
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021

and
2020, of UDR, Inc.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, statements concerning property
acquisitions and dispositions, development activity and capital expenditures,
capital raising activities, rent growth, occupancy, rental expense growth and
expected or potential impacts of the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19")
pandemic. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "likely,"
"will," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially
different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, the impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread or address
its effects, unfavorable changes in the apartment market, changing economic
conditions, the impact of inflation/deflation on rental rates and property
operating expenses, expectations concerning the availability of capital and the
stability of the capital markets, the impact of competition and competitive
pricing, acquisitions, developments and redevelopments not achieving anticipated
results, delays in completing developments and redevelopments, delays in
completing lease-ups on schedule or at expected rent and occupancy levels,
expectations on job growth, home affordability and demand/supply ratio for
multifamily housing, expectations concerning development and redevelopment
activities, expectations on occupancy levels and rental rates, expectations
concerning joint ventures and partnerships with third parties, expectations that
automation will help grow net operating income, and expectations on annualized
net operating income.

The following factors, among others, could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:

? the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread

or address its effects;

? general economic conditions;

unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions that could

? adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates, including as a result of

COVID-19;

? the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results;

? possible difficulty in selling apartment communities;

? competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease apartment homes or

increase or maintain rents;

? insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and create

refinancing risk;

? failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our debt service

payments and distributions to stockholders;

? development and construction risks that may impact our profitability;

? potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes and other

weather-related events, which could result in substantial costs to us;

? risks from climate change that impacts our properties or operations;

? risks from extraordinary losses for which we may not have insurance or adequate

reserves;

risks from cybersecurity breaches of our information technology systems and the

? information technology systems of our third party vendors and other third

parties;

? uninsured losses due to insurance deductibles, self-insurance retention,

uninsured claims or casualties, or losses in excess of applicable coverage;




                                       40

? delays in completing developments and lease-ups on schedule;

? our failure to succeed in new markets;

risks that third parties who have an interest in or are otherwise involved in

? projects in which we have an interest, including mezzanine borrowers, joint

venture partners or other investors, do not perform as expected;

? changing interest rates, which could increase interest costs and affect the

market price of our securities;

? potential liability for environmental contamination, which could result in

substantial costs to us;

? the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code

in any taxable year;

our internal control over financial reporting may not be considered effective

? which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports,

and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price; and

? changes in real estate laws, tax laws, rent control or stabilization laws or

other laws affecting our business.




A discussion of these and other factors affecting our business and prospects is
set forth in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors. We encourage investors to review
these risk factors.

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be
inaccurate, and therefore such statements included in this Report may not prove
to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the
results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans
will be achieved.

Forward-looking statements and such risks, uncertainties and other factors speak
only as of the date of this Report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or
undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein,
to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other
change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is
based, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

COVID-19 Update



On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic,
and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with
respect to COVID-19. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities
around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United
States, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including
restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans,
border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place or similar
orders. While vaccines have been developed and are being administered, it is
unclear when or if the vaccine may allow a return to pre-pandemic activity
levels.

While operations in certain areas have been allowed to fully or partially
re-open, many areas have experienced new closures or restrictions subsequent to
re-opening and no assurance can be given that such closures or restrictions will
not continue to occur. Our headquarters, all of our properties and our corporate
offices are located in areas that are or have been subject to shelter-in-place
orders and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate
or the manner in which they may operate, for example restrictions on capacity.
These orders and restrictions and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have
adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the ability of our
residents and retail and commercial tenants to pay their rent. It is still
uncertain how various legislation or orders adopted by the federal government
and state and local governments, or those that may be modified or enacted in the
future, may continue to impact, the ability of our residents and retail and
commercial tenants to pay their rent. The governmental actions intended to
prevent the spread of COVID-19 have also caused us to reduce staffing at certain
of our locations, and have impacted, and may continue to impact, our ability to
conduct our business in the ordinary course. Further, the federal government and
a number of the states, counties and municipalities in which we operate have
adopted, and may extend, eviction moratoriums, either directly or indirectly
(such as through direction to law enforcement or courts not to serve notices or
take actions related to eviction), which have negatively impacted, and may
continue to negatively impact, our ability to enforce our legal and contractual
rights and our ability to remove residents or retail and commercial tenants who
are not paying their rent and our ability to rent their units or other space to
new residents or retail and commercial tenants, respectively. In addition,
certain jurisdictions have restricted our ability to charge certain fees,
including fees for late payment of rent. We have received, and continue to
receive, more requests from our residents and retail and commercial tenants for
assistance with respect to paying rent than we have historically received. In
response, we have instituted a number of initiatives to assist residents and
other tenants, including rent deferrals, payment plans, and waiving late payment
fees when appropriate. In addition, we have seen an increase in tenant rent

concessions

                                       41

compared to prior year periods, as discussed further below. In particular, the
urban core markets of New York, NY, San Francisco Bay Area, CA, and Boston, MA
have been more adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in comparison to our
other markets, resulting in larger decreases in rental income from elevated rent
concessions and lower occupancy in those markets. We also have experienced an
increase in resident move-outs and turnover on an annualized basis. Recently,
the federal government has allocated funds to rent relief programs run by state
and local authorities. Certain of such programs have not yet been finalized or
are not currently operating and funds are not currently available under such
programs. In addition, some of such programs require, and programs in the future
may require, the forgiveness of a portion of the past due rent in order to
participate or may only provide funds to pay a portion of the past due rent. It
is uncertain how such programs will impact our business. With respect to leasing
activities, leasing traffic and visits by potential residents increased during
the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same quarter in 2020. Our
percentage of leases entered into with a prospective tenant also increased
period over period.



During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company performed an analysis
in accordance with the ASC 842, Leases, guidance to assess the collectibility of
its operating lease receivables in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis
included an assessment of collectibility of current and future rents and whether
those lease payments were no longer probable of collection. In accordance with
the leases guidance, if lease payments are no longer deemed to be probable over
the life of the lease contract, we recognize revenue only when cash is received,
and all existing contractual operating lease receivables and straight-line

lease
receivables are reserved.



As a result of its analysis, the Company reserved approximately $4.7 million of
multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $0.8 million of retail
tenant lease receivables for its wholly-owned communities and communities held
by joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In aggregate, the
reserve is reflected as a $5.1 million reduction to Rental income and a $0.4
million reduction to Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The impact to deferred leasing commissions was not material for the three months
ended March 31, 2021.



The Company did not recognize any other adjustments to the carrying amounts of
assets or asset impairment charges due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the three
months ended March 31, 2021.

As of April 25, 2021 we had collected 96.5%, 96.1% and 95.4% of billed monthly
rents for our multifamily residents for January, February and March,
respectively. April cash rents received have increased when compared to those
for January, February and March at corresponding times of prior months.



Over the last several years, we have worked to consistently strengthen our
balance sheet and improve our liquidity profile, which we believe positions us
well to weather the current economic and market challenges. The extent of the
COVID-19 pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance,
however, will depend on future developments, including the duration and
intensity of the pandemic, the timing and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and
the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic, all of which are
uncertain and difficult to predict. Given this uncertainty, we cannot predict
the effect on future periods, but the adverse impact on our future financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be material.



Business Overview



We are a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns,
operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, disposes of, and manages
multifamily apartment communities. We were formed in 1972 as a Virginia
corporation. In June 2003, we changed our state of incorporation from Virginia
to Maryland. Our subsidiaries include the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT
Partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this
Report to "we," "us," "our," "the Company," or "UDR" refer collectively to
UDR, Inc., its subsidiaries and its consolidated joint ventures.

At March 31, 2021, our consolidated real estate portfolio included 150
communities in 13 states plus the District of Columbia totaling 48,363 apartment
homes. In addition, we have an ownership interest in 5,827 completed or
to-be-completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or
partnerships, including 2,990 apartment homes owned by entities in which we hold
preferred equity investments. The Same-Store Community apartment home population
for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was 45,403.

Monthly Income per Occupied Home represents total monthly revenues divided by (a) the average physical number of occupied apartment homes in our Same-Store

portfolio.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was developing five wholly-owned (b) communities with a total of 1,417 apartment homes, none of which have been

completed.

We report in two segments: Same-Store Communities and Non-Mature Communities/Other.



Our Same-Store Communities segment represents those communities acquired,
developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2020 and held as of
March 31, 2021. These communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and
operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior period, there is no plan to
conduct substantial redevelopment activities, and the communities are not
classified as held for disposition within the current year. A community is
considered to have stabilized occupancy once it achieves 90% occupancy for at
least three consecutive months.

Our Non-Mature Communities/Other segment represents those communities that do
not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities, including, but
not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and
the non-apartment components of mixed use properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either
through operating cash flows, sales of properties, borrowings under our credit
agreements, and/or the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. Our primary
source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations, as determined by rental
rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of
apartment homes, and borrowings under our credit agreements. We routinely use
our working capital credit facility, our unsecured revolving credit facility and
issuances of commercial paper to temporarily fund certain investing and
financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing or the
issuance of equity or debt securities. During the past several years, proceeds
from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing
activities as we continue to execute on maintaining a diversified portfolio.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net
cash provided by property operations and borrowings under our credit agreements
and our unsecured commercial paper program. We expect to meet certain long-term
liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities, the repayment of
financing on development activities, and potential property acquisitions,
through net cash provided by property operations, secured and unsecured
borrowings, the issuance of debt or equity securities, and/or the disposition of
properties. We believe that our net cash provided by property operations and
borrowings under our credit agreements and our unsecured commercial paper
program will continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and the
payment of dividends by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements.
Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain
properties are expected to be funded from property operations, borrowings under
credit agreements, the issuance of debt or equity securities, and/or
dispositions of properties.

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or "SEC," which provides for the issuance of common stock, preferred
stock, depositary shares, debt securities, guarantees of debt securities,
warrants, subscription rights, purchase contracts and units to facilitate future
financing activities in the public capital markets. Access to capital markets is
dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.

In July 2017, the Company entered into an ATM sales agreement under which the
Company may offer and sell up to 20.0 million shares of its common stock, from
time to time, to or through its sales agents and may enter into separate forward
sales agreements to or through its forward purchasers. Upon entering into the
ATM sales agreement, the Company simultaneously terminated the sales agreement
for its prior at-the-market equity offering program, which was entered into in
April 2017, which replaced the prior at-the-market equity offering program
entered into in April 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the
Company did not sell any shares of common stock through its ATM program, other
than the forward sales described below. As of March 31, 2021, we had 9.6 million
shares of common stock available for future issuance under the ATM program,
including an aggregate of 2.3 million shares subject to the forward sales
agreements described below.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company entered into forward
sales agreements under its ATM program for a total of 2.3 million shares of
common stock at a weighted average initial forward price per share of $43.85.
The actual forward price per share to be received by the Company upon settlement
will be determined on the applicable settlement date based on adjustments made
to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and
the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the term of the
forward sales agreement. As of March 31, 2021, no shares under the forward sales
agreements have been settled. The final dates by which shares sold under the
forward sales agreements must be settled range between February 23, 2022 and
March 15, 2022.



In February 2021, the Company issued $300.0 million of 2.10% senior unsecured
medium-term notes due June 15, 2033. The notes were priced at 99.592% of the
principal amount of the notes. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem its
$300.0 million 4.00% senior unsecured medium-term notes due October 2025 (the
"2025 Notes") (plus the make-whole amount and accrued and unpaid interest). The
combined prepayment and make-whole amounts for the purchase of the 2025 Notes
totaled approximately $40.8 million.



In March 2021, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell 7.0
million shares of its common stock at an initial forward price per share of
$43.51. The actual forward price per share to be received by the Company upon
settlement will be determined on the applicable settlement date based on
adjustments made to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current
federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common
stock over the term of the forward sales agreements. As of March 31, 2021, no
shares under the forward sale agreements have been settled. The final date by
which shares sold under the forward sale agreements must be settled is March 29,
2022.

Future Capital Needs

Future development and redevelopment expenditures may be funded through
unsecured or secured credit facilities, unsecured commercial paper, proceeds
from the issuance of equity or debt securities, sales of properties, joint
ventures, and, to a lesser extent, from cash flows provided by property
operations. Acquisition activity in strategic markets may be funded through
joint ventures, by the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties,
through the issuance of equity or debt securities, the issuance of operating
partnership units and the assumption or placement of secured and/or unsecured
debt.

During the remainder of 2021, we have approximately $0.8 million of secured debt
maturing, inclusive of principal amortization, and $210.0 million of unsecured
debt maturing, comprised solely of unsecured commercial paper. We anticipate
repaying the remaining debt with cash flow from our operations, proceeds from
debt or equity offerings, proceeds from dispositions of properties, or from
borrowings under our credit agreements and our unsecured commercial paper
program.

In April 2021, the entire $210.0 million of outstanding unsecured commercial
paper as of March 31, 2021 was repaid at maturity with additional proceeds of
unsecured commercial paper with maturity dates in May 2021 and proceeds under
the Working Capital Credit Facility. As of April 25, 2021, we had no borrowings
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.1 billion of unused
capacity (excluding $2.3 million of letters of credit), and we had $26.3 million
outstanding under the Working Capital Credit Facility, leaving $48.7 million of
unused capacity.


Guarantor Subsidiary Summarized Financial Information





UDR has certain outstanding debt securities that are guaranteed by United
Dominion Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). With respect to this debt,
as further outlined below, the Operating Partnership fully and unconditionally
guarantees payment of any principal, premium and interest in full to the holders
thereof. The Operating Partnership is a subsidiary of UDR, through which UDR
conducts a significant portion of its business and holds a substantial amount of
its assets. UDR also conducts business through other subsidiaries, including its
taxable REIT subsidiaries. In addition to its ownership interest in the
Operating Partnership, UDR holds interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures,
owns and operates properties, issues securities from time to time and guarantees
debt of certain of its subsidiaries. UDR, as the sole general partner of the
Operating Partnership, owns 100 percent of the Operating Partnership's general
partnership interests and approximately 95 percent of its limited partnership
interests and, by virtue thereof, has the ability to control all of the
day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership. UDR has concluded that it is
the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidates, the Operating
Partnership.



The Operating Partnership is the subsidiary guarantor of certain of our
registered debt securities, including the $300 million of medium-term notes due
September 2026, $300 million of medium-term notes due July 2027, $300 million of
medium-term notes due January 2028, $300 million of medium-term notes due
January 2029, $600 million of medium-term notes due January 2030, $400 million
of medium-term notes due August 2031, $400 million of medium-term notes due
August 2032, $350 million of medium-term notes due March 2033, $300 million of
medium-term notes due in June 2033 and $300 million of medium-term notes due
November 2034.



The Operating Partnership fully and unconditionally guarantees payment of any
principal, premium and interest in full to the holders of the notes described
above. The guarantee forms part of the indenture under which the notes were
issued. If, for any reason, we do not make any required payment in respect of
the notes when due, the Operating Partnership will cause the payment to be made
to, or to the order of, the applicable paying agent on behalf of the trustee.
Holders of the notes may enforce their rights under the guarantee directly
against the Operating Partnership without first making a demand or taking action
against UDR or any other person or entity. The Operating Partnership may,
without the consent of the holders of the notes, assume all of our rights and
obligations under the notes and, upon such assumption, we will be released from
our liabilities under the indenture and the notes.



The notes are UDR's unsecured general obligations and rank equally with all of
UDR's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to
time. As a result, our payment of amounts due on the notes is subordinated to
all of our existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of
the collateral pledged toward any such secured obligation. Our payment of
amounts due on the notes also is effectively subordinated to all liabilities,
whether secured or unsecured, of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries because,
in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or
similar proceeding with respect to such subsidiaries, we, as an equity holder of
such subsidiaries, would not receive distributions from such subsidiaries until
claims of any creditors of such subsidiaries are satisfied.

In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and
created Rule 13-01 to simplify disclosure requirements related to certain
registered securities. The rule was effective for the Company on January 4,
2021. As a result of the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary
guarantors of obligations issued by the parent are no longer required to provide
separate financial statements subject to certain criteria. Such criteria
include, among other things, that the parent company is an issuer or co-issuer
of the debt, the consolidated financial statements of the parent company have
been filed and the subsidiary guarantor is consolidated into those financial
statements, and the guaranteed security is debt or debt-like. If the applicable
criteria are met, the parent company is able to utilize alternative disclosures
described in Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, which include summarized financial
information of the subsidiary guarantor. We evaluated the criteria and
determined that we are eligible for the exceptions, which allow us to provide
alternative disclosures for the Operating Partnership.



As a result of the amendments, the Operating Partnership, as subsidiary guarantor, is no longer subject to the filing requirements under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and will no longer file separate periodic and current reports in reliance on Rule 12h-5 under the Exchange Act. As such, we have presented summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership below.





The following tables present the summarized financial information for the
Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The information presented below
excludes eliminations necessary to arrive at the information on a consolidated

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements



Our critical accounting policies are those having the most impact on the
reporting of our financial condition and results and those requiring significant
judgments and estimates. These policies include those related to (1) capital
expenditures, (2) impairment of long-lived assets, (3) real estate investment
properties, and (4) revenue recognition.

                                       46

Table of Contents



Our critical accounting policies are described in more detail in the section
entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in UDR's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC
on February 18, 2021. There have been no significant changes in our critical
accounting policies from those reported in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
February 18, 2021. With respect to these critical accounting policies, we
believe that the application of judgments and assessments is consistently
applied and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of
operations for all periods presented.

Statements of Cash Flows


The following discussion explains the changes in Net cash provided by/(used in)
operating activities, Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities, and
Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities that are presented in our
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31,

2021
and 2020.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our Net cash provided by/(used in)
operating activities was $123.6 million, compared to $135.5 million for the
comparable period in 2020. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities
was primarily due to a decrease in net operating income, primarily driven by
lower rental rates and an increase in rent concessions and occupancy loss,
partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities



For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Net cash provided by/(used in)
investing activities was $41.0 million, compared to ($214.0) million for the
comparable period in 2020. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was
primarily due to the decrease in acquisitions made during the current period, an
increase in proceeds from sales of real estate investments in the current period
and an increase in distributions received from unconsolidated joint ventures,
partially offset by an increase in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Acquisitions



In January 2021, the Company acquired a 300 apartment home operating community
located in Franklin, Massachusetts for approximately $77.4 million. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed an above-market mortgage
note payable secured by the community with an outstanding balance of
approximately $51.8 million. The Company increased its real estate assets owned
by approximately $82.0 million, recorded $2.0 million of in-place lease
intangibles, and recorded a $6.6 million debt premium in connection with the
above-market debt assumed.



Dispositions


In February 2021, the Company sold an operating community located in Anaheim, California with a total of 386 apartment homes for gross proceeds of $156.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $50.8 million.

Capital Expenditures



We capitalize those expenditures that materially enhance the value of an
existing asset or substantially extend the useful life of an existing asset.
Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating
condition are expensed as incurred.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total capital expenditures of $25.2
million, or $524 per stabilized home, which in aggregate include recurring
capital expenditures and major renovations, were spent across our portfolio,
excluding development, as compared to $32.2 million, or $677 per stabilized
home, for the comparable period in 2020.

                                       47

Table of Contents

The decrease in total capital expenditures was primarily due to:

an decrease of 44.3%, or $4.3 million, in major renovations, which include

? major structural changes and/or architectural revisions to existing buildings;

and

a decrease of 83.3%, or $4.7 million, in spend as compared to the comparable

? period in 2020 for our operations platform, which includes smart home

installations in certain of our properties.

This was partially offset by:

? an increase of 18.8%, or $1.4 million, in NOI enhancing improvements, such as

kitchen and bath remodels and upgrades to common areas; and

? an increase of 5.9%, or $0.5 million, in recurring capital expenditures, which

include asset preservation and turnover related expenditures.




The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and maintenance
costs for all of our communities, excluding real estate under development, for
the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands except Per
Home amounts):

Average home count (d)                      48,124       47,579         1.1 %

(a) NOI enhancing improvements are expenditures that result in increased income

generation or decreased expense growth.

(b) Major renovations include major structural changes and/or architectural

revisions to existing buildings.

Total capital expenditures includes amounts capitalized during the year. Cash (c) paid for capital expenditures is impacted by the net change in related

accruals.

(d) Average number of homes is calculated based on the number of homes

outstanding at the end of each month.


We intend to continue to selectively add NOI enhancing improvements, which we
believe will provide a return on investment in excess of our cost of capital.
Our objective in redeveloping a community is twofold: we aim to meaningfully
grow rental rates while also achieving cap rate compression through asset
quality improvement.

Consolidated Real Estate Under Development and Redevelopment


At March 31, 2021, our development pipeline consisted of five wholly-owned
communities totaling 1,417 apartment homes, none of which have been completed,
with a budget of $501.5 million, in which we have a gross carrying value of
$243.2 million. The remaining homes are estimated to be completed between the
first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2023.

At March 31, 2021, the Company was not redeveloping any communities.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Partnerships



The Company recognizes income or losses from our investments in unconsolidated
joint ventures and partnerships consisting of our proportionate share of the net
income or losses of the joint ventures and partnerships. In addition, we may
earn fees for providing management services to the communities held by the
unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships.

                                       48

Table of Contents



The Company's Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures and
partnerships, net, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. For
the three months ended March 31, 2021:

we made investments totaling $48.6 million in our unconsolidated joint

? ventures, including contributions of $9.9 million to two unconsolidated

investments under our Developer Capital Program, which each earn preferred

returns of 9.0%;

? our proportionate share of the net income/(loss) of the joint ventures and

partnerships was $4.9 million; and

? we received distributions of $33.7 million, of which $1.1 million were

operating cash flows and $32.6 million were investing cash flows.




We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an
other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine
if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. The
Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments in the value of
its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships during the
three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Financing Activities



For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our Net cash provided by/(used in)
financing activities was ($154.2) million, compared to $68.2 million for the
comparable period of 2020.

The following significant financing activities occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021:

? issuance of $300.0 million of 2.10% senior unsecured medium-term notes due June

2033, for net proceeds of approximately $298.8 million;

? repayment of $300.0 million senior unsecured medium-term notes due October

2025;

? net proceeds of $20.0 million on our unsecured commercial paper program;

? payment of $106.8 million of distributions to our common stockholders; and

? payment of prepayment and extinguishment costs of $40.8 million from the early

prepayment of debt.

Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper Program



The Company has a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a $350.0
million unsecured term loan. The Credit Agreement for these facilities allows
the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total
borrowings under the Term Loan to be increased to an aggregate maximum amount of
up to $2.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining
commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility has a
scheduled maturity date of January 31, 2023, with two six-month extension
options, subject to certain conditions. The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity
date of September 30, 2023.

Based on the Company's current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has
an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis points and a
facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to
LIBOR plus a margin of 90 basis points. Depending on the Company's credit
rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 75 to 145
basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis points, and the margin
under the Term Loan ranges from 80 to 165 basis points.

As of March 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, leaving $1.1 billion of unused capacity (excluding $2.3 million of letters of credit at March 31, 2021), and $350.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan.


We have a working capital credit facility, which provides for a $75 million
unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Working Capital Credit Facility") with
a scheduled maturity date of January 14, 2022. Based on the Company's current
credit rating, the Working Capital Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to
LIBOR plus a margin of 82.5 basis points. Depending on the Company's credit
rating, the margin ranges from 75 to 145 basis points.

                                       49

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2021, we had $17.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Credit Facility, leaving $57.2 million of unused capacity.



The bank revolving credit facilities and the term loan are subject to customary
financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at
March 31, 2021.

We have an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program,
we may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate amount
outstanding of $500 million. The notes are sold under customary terms in the
United States commercial paper market and rank pari passu with all of our other
unsecured indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2021, we had issued $210.0 million of
commercial paper, for one month terms, at a weighted average annualized rate of
0.30%, leaving $290.0 million of unused capacity. In April 2021, the entire
$210.0 million of outstanding unsecured commercial paper as of March 31, 2021
was repaid at maturity with additional proceeds of unsecured commercial paper
with maturity dates in May 2021 and proceeds under the Working Capital Credit
Facility.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes payable
and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. We do not hold financial
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather issue these
financial instruments to finance our portfolio of real estate assets and
operations. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in
market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and
liabilities. Our earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates
impact our cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. We had
$289.8 million in variable rate debt that is not subject to interest rate swap
contracts as of March 31, 2021. If market interest rates for variable rate debt
increased by 100 basis points, our interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 would increase by $0.7 million based on the average balance
outstanding during the period.

These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest
rates on our borrowing cost. This analysis does not consider the effects of the
adjusted level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an
environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management
would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change.
However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and
their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in our
financial structure.

The Company also utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage interest
rate risk and generally designates these financial instruments as cash flow
hedges. See Note 11, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, in the Notes to the UDR
Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for additional
discussion of derivative instruments.

A presentation of cash flow metrics based on GAAP is as follows (dollars in

Results of Operations

The following discussion explains the changes in results of operations that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders



Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders was $2.0 million ($0.01
per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to
$4.2 million ($0.01 per diluted share) for the comparable period in the
prior year. The

minor decrease resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:

a decrease in total property NOI of $24.4 million primarily due to lower rental

? rates, an increase in rent concessions and occupancy loss, and an approximately

$5.1 million reserve recorded on our multifamily tenant lease receivables as

compared to 2020; and

an increase in interest expense of $38.8 million primarily due to $42.0 million

? from extinguishment cost from the prepayment of debt during the three months

ended March 31, 2021 as compared to zero for the three months ended March 31,

2020.

This was partially offset by:

gain of $50.8 million from the sale of an operating community located in

? Anaheim, California during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared

to no gains recognized on the sale of real estate during the three months ended

March 31, 2020; and

? a decrease in depreciation expense of $11.4 million primarily due to fully

depreciated assets in 2021 and 2020.

Apartment Community Operations


Our net income results are primarily from NOI generated from the operation of
our apartment communities. The Company defines NOI, which is a non-GAAP
financial measure, as rental income less direct property rental expenses. Rental
income represents gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy
loss and bad debt. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance,
personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing.
Excluded from NOI is property management expense, which is calculated as 3.0% of
property revenue, and land rent. Property management expense covers costs
directly related to consolidated property operations, inclusive of corporate
management, regional supervision, accounting and other costs.

Management considers NOI a useful metric for investors as it is a more
meaningful representation of a community's continuing operating performance than
net income as it is prior to corporate-level expense allocations, general and
administrative costs, capital structure and depreciation and amortization.

Although the Company considers NOI a useful measure of operating performance,
NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flow from
operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI excludes several
income and expense categories as detailed in the reconciliation of NOI to Net
income/(loss) attributable to UDR, Inc. below.

Same-Store Communities

Our Same-Store Community properties, those acquired, developed, and stabilized
prior to January 1, 2020 and held on March 31, 2021 consisted of 45,403
apartment homes and provided 94.4% of our total NOI for the three months ended
March 31, 2021.

                                       52

  Table of Contents

NOI for our Same-Store Community properties decreased 10.4%, or $21.9 million,
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.
The decrease in property NOI was attributable to a 6.4%, or $19.1 million,
decrease in property rental income and a 3.3%, or $2.8 million, increase in
operating expenses. The decrease in property rental income was primarily driven
by a 2.8%, or $7.7 million, decrease in rental rates, a $4.5 million increase in
our reserve on multifamily tenant lease receivables, an increase of $3.7 million
in rent concessions, an increase of $2.0 million in occupancy loss and 0.9%, or
$0.3 million, decrease in reimbursement and ancillary and fee income. Physical
occupancy decreased by 0.4% to 96.4% and total monthly income per occupied home
decreased 6.0% to $2,116.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by a 17.5%, or $2.2
million, increase in repair and maintenance expense due to the increased use of
third party vendors, a 2.7%, or $1.0 million, increase in real estate taxes,
which was primarily due to higher assessed valuations, and a 28.2%, or $1.0
million, increase in insurance expense due to increased claims, partially offset
by a 9.9%, or $1.5 million, decrease in personnel expense as a result of fewer
employees.

The operating margin (property net operating income divided by property rental
income) was 68.3% and 71.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.

Non-Mature Communities/Other

UDR's Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet
the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities, which include communities
recently developed or acquired, redevelopment properties, sold or held for
disposition properties, and non-apartment components of mixed use properties.

The remaining 5.6%, or $11.3 million, of our total NOI during the three months
ended March 31, 2021 was generated from our Non-Mature Communities/Other. NOI
from Non-Mature Communities/Other decreased by 18.1%, or $2.5 million, for the
three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a $4.2 million decrease in sold and held
for disposition communities, partially offset by an $1.2 million increase in
stabilized, non-mature communities NOI due to operating communities acquired in
2021 and 2020, and a $0.7 million increase in acquired communities.

Real estate depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized real estate depreciation and amortization of $144.1 million and $155.5 million, respectively. The decrease in 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily attributable to fully depreciated assets in 2021 and 2020.

Gain/(Loss) on sale of real estate owned


During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of
$50.8 million from the sale of an operating community located in Anaheim,
California. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not
recognize any gains on the sale of real estate.

Interest expense


For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized
interest expense of $78.2 million and $39.3 million, respectively. The increase
in 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to $42.0 million from
extinguishment cost from the prepayment of debt during the three months ended
March 31, 2021 as compared to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Inflation


We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been
immaterial. While the impact of inflation primarily impacts our results of
operations as a result of wage pressures and increases in utilities and material
costs, the majority of our apartment leases have initial terms of 12 months or
less, which generally enables us to compensate for any inflationary effects by
increasing rental rates on our apartment homes. Although an extreme escalation
in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to
absorb rent increases, we do not believe this has had a material impact on our
results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably
likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes
in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.

Funds from Operations, Funds from Operations as Adjusted, and Adjusted Funds from Operations



Funds from Operations

Funds from operations ("FFO") attributable to common stockholders and
unitholders is defined as Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-downs of
depreciable real estate related to the main business of the Company or of
investments in non-consolidated investees that are directly attributable to
decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee,
gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate related to the main
business of the Company and income taxes directly associated with those gains
and losses, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for noncontrolling interests, and the Company's share of
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. This definition conforms with
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's ("Nareit") definition
issued in April 2002 and restated in November 2018. Historical cost accounting
for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value
of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values
instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry
investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for
real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by
themselves. Thus, Nareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of a REIT's
operating performance. In the computation of diluted FFO, if OP Units, DownREIT
Units, unvested restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units, stock options, and the
shares of Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive, they are
included in the diluted share count.

Management considers FFO a useful metric for investors as the Company uses FFO
in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance, and believes
that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net
income and cash flow as a measure of the Company's activities in accordance with
GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to
fund our cash needs.

Funds from Operations as Adjusted



FFO as Adjusted ("FFOA") attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is
defined as FFO excluding the impact of non-comparable items including, but not
limited to, acquisition-related costs, prepayment costs/benefits associated with
early debt retirement, impairment write-downs or gains and losses on sales of
real estate or other assets incidental to the main business of the Company and
income taxes directly associated with those gains and losses, casualty-related
expenses and recoveries, severance costs and legal and other costs.

Management believes that FFOA is useful supplemental information regarding our
operating performance as it provides a consistent comparison of our operating
performance across time periods and allows investors to more easily compare our
operating results with other REITs. FFOA is not intended to represent cash flow
or liquidity for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional
measure of our operating performance. We believe that Net income/(loss)
attributable to common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure to FFOA. However, other REITs may use different methodologies
for calculating FFOA or similar FFO measures and, accordingly, our FFOA may not
always be comparable to FFOA or similar FFO measures calculated by other REITs.
FFOA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an
alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity.

Adjusted Funds from Operations



Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") attributable to common stockholders and unitholders is
defined as FFOA less recurring capital expenditures on consolidated communities
that are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain functionality at
our communities. Therefore, management considers AFFO a useful supplemental
performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company's
operational performance than FFO or FFOA.

                                       54

Table of Contents



AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period, and is
only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating performance. We
believe that Net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders is the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO. Management believes that
AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting
AFFO will enable investors to assess our performance in comparison to other
REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO
and, accordingly, our AFFO may not always be comparable to AFFO calculated by
other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net
income/(loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial
performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it
indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to
make distributions.
