- **California Portfolio Sale**: $1.5-2 billion sale expected mid-2026, with 60% redeployed into Sunbelt acquisitions and 40% used for share buybacks at 30% NAV discount.
- **2026 FFO Guidance**: $6.60-6.90 per share (midpoint $6.75), reflecting 75 basis points of same-store revenue growth and 2% market rent growth.
- **Sunbelt Growth**: Houston, Washington, D.C. Metro, and Southern California led 2025 with 3.5%+ revenue growth; 2026 outlook grades portfolio as 'B' with stable outlook.
- **Development Pipeline**: 2026 starts capped at $335 million, targeting 5-5.5% returns on Sunbelt developments.
- **Risk Management**: $14 million in non-core legal expenses expected to decline in 2026; Denver utility rebilling regulations to reduce NOI by 19 basis points.

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- Camden exceeded 2025 core FFO guidance by $0.13 per share, driven by strong Sunbelt market performance and declining new supply. California assets were marked for sale to redeploy capital into high-growth Sunbelt markets, with proceeds also allocated to share buybacks at a 30% discount to NAV.
- 2025 same-property revenue growth of 76 basis points (vs. 75 basis points in 2024) was attributed to declining bad debt in Southern California and stable demand in Sunbelt markets. 2026 guidance assumes 75 basis points of same-store revenue growth, with 55 basis points from rental income and 20 basis points from other income.
- The company graded its overall portfolio as 'B' with a stable outlook, highlighting Houston (+3.5% revenue growth), Washington, D.C. Metro (+3.5%), and Southern California (+3.2%) as top performers. Austin and Denver were flagged as slower-growth markets due to supply constraints and regulatory headwinds.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Q4 2025 core FFO was $1.73 per share, $0.03 above midpoint guidance, driven by lower-than-expected expenses and outperformance in fee and asset management income. Full-year 2026 core FFO guidance is $6.60 to $6.90 per share (midpoint $6.75), reflecting a $0.04 per share decline in fee income, $0.045 per share increase in G&A, and $0.045 per share decline in same-store NOI.
- The California portfolio sale is expected to close mid-2026, with 60% of proceeds redeployed into Sunbelt acquisitions and 40% used for share buybacks ($650 million). The sale is expected to have no net impact on 2026 FFO due to offsetting accretion from Sunbelt growth and dilution from share buybacks.
- 2026 development starts are capped at $335 million, with a focus on high-margin Sunbelt markets. The company anticipates 2% market rent growth for the year, with most upside expected in the second half.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **California Sale Timing**: The sale is expected to close mid-2026, with redeployment of proceeds into Sunbelt acquisitions and share buybacks. The company is confident in its ability to execute 1031 exchanges despite competitive Sunbelt cap rates.
- **Development Pipeline**: 2026 development starts are limited to $335 million, with a focus on high-margin Sunbelt markets. Returns on new developments are currently penciled at 5-5.5% on an untrended basis.
- **Legal Expenses**: $14 million in non-core legal expenses in 2025 are expected to decline in 2026 as the company exits California markets and reduces political advocacy spending.
- **Job Growth Impact**: 2026 job growth forecasts of 257,000 across Camden's markets are expected to support demand, with most upside concentrated in Sunbelt markets like Atlanta, Dallas, and Orlando.
- **Denver Regulatory Headwinds**: New utility rebilling regulations in Denver are expected to reduce NOI by $1.8 million annually, or 19 basis points of same-store NOI.

- **Market Outlook**: 2024 saw peak multifamily deliveries, with 2025 expected to see supply decline.

- **Financial Adjustments**: Full-year same-store NOI growth revised to 4.2%, core FFO guidance lowered to $6.81 per share.

- **Long-Term Drivers**: Demographic trends (30% adults living alone), high homebuying costs, and immigration growth support demand. 
- **2024 Outlook**: Modest rent growth, stable occupancy, gradual normalization of consumer behavior. 


**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Supply Challenges**: 16% of Camden's portfolio is impacted by new supply, with a 310 basis point differential in new lease rates compared to non-impacted properties. Elevated competition in markets like Nashville, Austin, and Charlotte drives concessions (e.g., 3 months free rent). 
- **Consumer Behavior Shifts**: Post-COVID, consumers are more likely to skip payments or break leases, leading to 140 basis points of bad debt in Q3 (vs. pre-COVID average of 50 basis points). Seasonality returned earlier than expected, with occupancy dropping to 94.9% in October. 
- **Long-Term Demand Drivers**: U.S. demographic trends (30% of adults living alone), high homebuying costs (30-year buy-to-rent premium), and immigration growth support apartment demand. 
- **Strategic Focus**: Maintain occupancy through selective rent adjustments, avoiding aggressive concessions. Expect supply impacts to persist through 2024 but anticipate gradual normalization of consumer behavior. 

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Q3 Financials**: Core FFO of $1.73 per share (in-line with guidance). Revenue growth of 5% year-to-date, driven by 5.9% renewal rate growth. 
- **Challenges**: 
  - **Bad Debt**: 140 basis points in Q3 (vs. 90 basis points expected), with $0.015 per share impact. Full-year bad debt revised to 150 basis points. 
  - **Occupancy**: Q4 average occupancy expected at 94.8% (vs. prior guidance of 95.6%).

**【Q&A Key Highlights】**

- **Consumer Behavior**: Fraudulent tenants targeting high-end properties (e.g., downtown Houston, Atlanta Buckhead). Regulatory backlogs delay evictions, but municipalities improving processing. 
- **Capital Deployment**: Cautious on acquisitions (transactions down 60-70%) and development (floating rate debt costs). Focus on portfolio management (selling older, high-CapEx properties). 
- **2024 Outlook**: Expect modest rent growth, stable occupancy, and gradual normalization of bad debt as consumer behavior adjusts.
