For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Pure Multi-Family achieved same property adjusted net rental income ("NOI") growth of 4.4% compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by increases in property level revenues, which were higher due to increases in occupancy and average net effective rent per occupied unit.

Pure Multi-Family's FFO and AFFO payout ratios improved during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to NOI growth realized at the property level and was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "plan", "expect", "may", "will", "intend", "should", and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

Although Pure Multi-Family believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Pure Multi-Family can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
