Mahbod Nia, Chief Executive
Officer, commented, "Our portfolio continues to exhibit strong
revenue growth, underpinned by robust demand for our premium
properties and limited new supply in our key markets. I am
extremely proud of the work our teams have done to mitigate
controllable expense growth during a period of elevated inflation.
These efforts, combined with a better than expected resolution of
our non-controllable expenses last quarter, drove a substantial 17%
year-over-year increase in Core FFO per share during the first nine
months of the year, further improving our operating margin to 66.8%
and allowing us to once again raise guidance."

During the third quarter, the Company repaid the $43 million mortgage on Signature Place and the
$265 million mortgage on Liberty
Towers using a combination of cash on hand, $145 million of additional draws on the Term Loan
and a $157 million draw on the
Secured Revolving Credit Facility. At quarter end, the Company had
liquidity of approximately $170
million.
The $200 million Term Loan balance
and $150 million of the Revolver were
hedged with interest rate caps at a strike rate of 3.5%. The
nine-month interest rate cap on the Revolver has not been
designated as an effective accounting hedge to allow for
flexibility should the Company repay a portion of the Revolver
balance before the interest rate cap expires.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Company successfully
met Sustainable KPI provisions that resulted in a 5-basis-point
spread reduction for all borrowings on the Term Loan and
Revolver.
ESG
The Company has again been recognized by global and national
real estate organizations for its accomplishments in ESG and DEI.
Most significantly, GRESB designated the Company as a Regional
Listed Sector Leader in the Residential category, a recognition
highlighting the top GRESB assessment performers in the Americas.
The Company achieved the highest listed residential score in the
U.S. and third-best listed residential score worldwide, earning its
third-consecutive 5 Star rating.
The Company was also recognized by Nareit with the Mid Cap
Diversity Impact Award for its social responsibility policies.
DIVIDEND
The Company paid a dividend of $0.07 per share on October
16, 2024, for shareholders of record as of September 30, 2024.
GUIDANCE
The Company has raised its 2024 guidance ranges to reflect the
favorable outcome of certain non-controllable expenses that were
finalized in the third quarter and continued multifamily
outperformance.

Non-GAAP Financial Definitions
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Included in this financial package are Funds from Operations, or
FFO, Core Funds from Operations, or Core FFO, net operating income,
or NOI and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation,
and Amortization, or Adjusted EBITDA, each a "non-GAAP financial
measure," measuring Veris Residential, Inc.'s historical or future
financial performance that is different from measures calculated
and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles ("U.S. GAAP"), within the meaning of the applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Veris Residential, Inc.
believes these metrics can be a useful measure of its performance
which is further defined.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and
Amortization (Adjusted "EBITDA")
The Company defines
Adjusted EBITDA as Core FFO, plus interest expense, plus income tax
expense, plus income (loss) in noncontrolling interest in
consolidated joint ventures, and plus adjustments to reflect the
entity's share of Adjusted EBITDA of unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes
that Adjusted EBITDA, along with cash flow from operating
activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides
investors with an additional indicator of the Company's ability to
incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as
an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP),
as an indication of the Company's financial performance, as an
alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined
in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of the Company's
liquidity.
Blended Net Rental Growth Rate or Blended Lease
Rate
Weighted average of the net effective change in
rent (inclusive of concessions) for a lease with a new resident or
for a renewed lease compared to the rent for the prior lease of the
identical apartment unit.
Core FFO and Adjusted FFO ("AFFO")
Core FFO is
defined as FFO, as adjusted for certain items to facilitate
comparative measurement of the Company's performance over time.
Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") is defined as Core FFO less (i) recurring
tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and capital expenditures,
(ii) straight-line rents and amortization of acquired above/below
market leases, net, and (iii) other non-cash income, plus (iv)
other non-cash charges. Core FFO and Adjusted AFFO are presented
solely as supplemental disclosure that the Company's management
believes provides useful information to investors and analysts of
its results, after adjusting for certain items to facilitate
comparability of its performance from period to period. Core FFO
and Adjusted FFO are non-GAAP financial measures that are not
intended to represent cash flow and are not indicative of cash
flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance
with GAAP. As there is not a generally accepted definition
established for Core FFO and Adjusted FFO, the Company's measures
of Core FFO may not be comparable to the Core FFO and Adjusted FFO
reported by other REITs. A reconciliation of net income per share
to Core FFO and Adjusted FFO in dollars and per share are included
in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
FFO is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests
in Operating Partnership, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property
transactions (including both acquisitions and dispositions), and
impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real
estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes
that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several
measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further
believes that as FFO per share excludes the effect of depreciation,
gains (or losses) from property transactions and impairments
related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on
historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating
current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of
operating performance between equity REITs.
FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net
income available to common shareholders per share as an indication
of the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity. FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily
comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate
companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use
the same definition. However, the Company's FFO per share is
comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use
the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). A reconciliation of net income per
share to FFO per share is included in the financial tables
accompanying this press release.
NOI and Same Store NOI
NOI represents total revenues less total operating expenses, as
reconciled to net income above. The Company considers NOI to be a
meaningful non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and
assessing unlevered performance of its property types and markets,
as it relates to total return on assets, as opposed to levered
return on equity. As properties are considered for sale and
acquisition based on NOI estimates and projections, the Company
utilizes this measure to make investment decisions, as well as
compare the performance of its assets to those of its peers. NOI
should not be considered a substitute for net income, and the
Company's use of NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies. The Company calculates NOI before
any allocations to noncontrolling interests, as those interests do
not affect the overall performance of the individual assets being
measured and assessed.
Same Store NOI is presented for the same store portfolio, which
comprises all properties that were owned by the Company throughout
both of the reporting periods.
