Executive Summary

Camden Property Trust and all consolidated subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the ownership, management, development, reposition, redevelopment, acquisition, and construction of multifamily apartment communities. We focus on investing in markets characterized by high-growth economic conditions, strong employment, and attractive quality of life which we believe leads to higher demand for our apartments and retention of our residents. As of June 30, 2026, we owned interests in, operated, or were developing 179 multifamily properties comprised of 60,838 apartment homes across the United States. Of the 179 properties, three properties were under construction as of June 30, 2026, and will consist of a total of 1,162 apartment homes when completed. We also own land holdings which we may develop into multifamily communities in the future.

Business Environment and Current Outlook

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our results reflect relatively stable same store revenues as compared to the same periods in 2025. The stability was in part due to consistent occupancy, which we believe was primarily attributable to strong resident retention, supported by favorable demographic trends and continued demand for multifamily housing in our markets.

We believe the levels of new multifamily supply in the submarkets and asset classes in which we operate are manageable and moderating levels of supply should likely be met with continued demand to absorb these new deliveries. However, if this were to change or other economic conditions were to worsen, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Consolidated Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to $80.7 million for the same period ended 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income attributable to common shareholders was $61.2 million compared to $119.5 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the recognition of a $47.3 million gain on sale of an operating property in June 2025, higher interest expense of $6.0 million associated with our recent debt issuance and other borrowings, and higher depreciation expense of $5.0 million due to nine acquisitions completed in 2025 and 2026. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to the settlement of a $53.0 million class action matter and a $4.9 million impairment charge related to certain technology investments recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026. See further discussion of our 2026 operations as compared to 2025 in "Results of Operations," below.

Construction and Development Activity

At June 30, 2026, we had a total of three properties under construction comprised of 1,162 apartment homes. As of June 30, 2026, we estimated the total additional cost to complete the construction of these three properties was approximately $140.1 million.

Litigation Update

On April 7, 2026, we entered into a binding term sheet to settle the RealPage class action litigation matter related to the use of a revenue management software. Subsequently, the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement, which received the required preliminary court approvals during the three months ending June 30, 2026. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay an aggregate of $53.0 million to settle all claims which have been asserted, or could have been asserted, against us in the litigation, inclusive of class member recoveries, plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees, and settlement administration costs. The settlement payment was payable in two equal installments of $26.5 million, the first of which was timely paid during the three months ending June 30, 2026 and the second of which is due during the third quarter of 2026.

Debt

In February 2026, we issued $600.0 million of 4.90% senior unsecured notes due February 28, 2036.

In March 2026, we amended and restated our existing credit facility to (i) remove a $300 million unsecured term loan facility with a delayed draw feature and (ii) extend the maturity date of the unsecured revolving credit facility from August 2026 to March 2030, which may be extended at the Company’s option for two additional consecutive six-month periods.

In March 2026, we also repaid the principal amount of one of our conventional mortgage secured notes payable, which matured on April 1, 2026, for a total of $12.0 million, plus accrued interest.

Table of Contents

On July 8, 2026, we entered into a 364-day unsecured term loan facility ("term loan facility") with an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million. The interest rate on our term loan facility is based upon, at our option, (a) Daily SOFR or one-, three- or six-month Term SOFR plus, in each case, a spread based on our credit rating or (b) a base rate equal to the higher of: (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.0%, and (iv) 1.0%, plus a spread based on our credit rating.

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we acquired five operating properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $449.3 million, including a 288-apartment home community in Orlando, Florida and a 269-apartment home community in Alpharetta, Georgia, both acquired in April; a 196-apartment home community in Franklin, Tennessee, a 349-apartment home community in Roanoke, Texas, and a 320-apartment home community in Gilbert, Arizona, each acquired in June.

In July 2026, we acquired two operating properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $196.1 million, including a 296-apartment home community in Tampa, Florida and a 343-apartment home community in Charlotte, North Carolina.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we acquired for future development purposes two parcels of land for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.0 million. These acquisitions, both completed in May 2026, consisted of approximately 17.9 acres in Morrisville, North Carolina and 64.4 acres in Tampa, Florida.

Dispositions

During the six months ended June 30, 2026 we sold one operating property in Irving, Texas for approximately $77.0 million in February and recognized a gain of approximately $67.9 million.

Properties Held for Sale

As of June 30, 2026, 11 operating properties, comprised of 3,620 apartment homes, located in Los Angeles/Orange County and San Diego/Inland Empire, California were classified as held for sale and did not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation as the disposition did not represent a strategic shift which has or will have a major effect on our operations or financial results. As such, the results of operations for these properties continue to be included in income from continuing operations for all periods presented. At June 30, 2026, these California properties had aggregate net real estate and other assets of approximately $625.3 million, consisting of $463.0 million of buildings and improvements, less accumulated depreciation, $159.0 million of land, and $3.3 million of restricted cash. These properties also had liabilities of approximately $6.4 million, primarily consisting of resident deposits and prepaid rental income. The 11 operating properties were subsequently sold in July 2026 for an aggregate sales price of approximately $1.6 billion.

Share Repurchases

In January 2026, we repurchased 1,096,807 common shares at an average price of $110.03 per share for approximately $120.7 million under our then-existing share repurchase plan, which authorized up to $500.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Executive Summary

We are primarily engaged in the ownership, management, development, reposition, redevelopment, acquisition, and construction of multifamily apartment communities. Overall, we focus on investing in markets characterized by high-growth economic conditions, strong employment, and attractive quality of life which we believe leads to higher demand and retention of our apartments. As of December 31, 2025, we owned interests in, operated, or were developing 175 multifamily properties comprised of 59,921 apartment homes across the United States as detailed in the Property Portfolio table below. In addition, we own other land holdings which we may develop into multifamily apartment communities in the future.

Business Environment and Current Outlook

Our results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflect an increase in same store revenues of approximately 0.8% as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues from other income and favorable changes in occupancy, which we believe was primarily attributable to favorable demographics with a higher propensity to rent versus buy and continued demand for multifamily housing in our markets.

We believe the levels of new multifamily supply in the submarkets and asset classes in which we operate are manageable and moderating levels of new supply should be met with continued demand to absorb these new deliveries. However, if this were to change or other economic conditions were to worsen, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Consolidated Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $384.5 million and $163.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in gains on sales of operating properties and a lower impairment charge associated with land development activities in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was partially offset by higher depreciation expense and amortization of in-place leases relating to the acquisition of four operating properties completed in 2025. See further discussion of our 2025 operations as compared to 2024 in "Results of Operations," below.

Construction and Development Activity

At December 31, 2025, we had a total of three projects under construction to be comprised of 1,162 apartment homes. Initial occupancy for these projects is expected to begin within the next two years. As of December 31, 2025, we estimated the remaining cost to complete the construction of these properties to be approximately $213.8 million.

We review our long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and our impairment evaluations take into consideration the current and anticipated economic climate. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $12.9 million related to two undeveloped land parcels as the estimated fair value was less than its book value. We currently have two other land parcels held for future development we plan to develop, and the commencement of future developments may be impacted by macroeconomic issues, multifamily market conditions, and other factors. We will continue to evaluate future development starts based on market, economic, and capital market conditions. There can be no assurance we will not have impairment charges in the future.

Acquisitions

In 2025, we acquired four operating properties, consisting of a 352-apartment home community in Leander, Texas in January, a 435-apartment home community in Nashville, Tennessee in February, a 360-apartment home community in Clearwater, Florida in May, and a 322-apartment home community in Orlando, Florida in December for approximately $422.9 million.

Dispositions

In 2025, we completed five dispositions consisting of one operating property in Houston, Texas in June, one dual-phased operating property in Houston, Texas and one operating property in Irving, Texas in July, and one dual-phased operating property in Houston, Texas and one operating property in Phoenix, Arizona in November for a total of approximately $374.5 million and recognized a total gain of approximately $260.9 million.

Capital Market Highlights

In February 2025, we established a commercial paper program (the "Program") under which we may issue the commercial paper notes (the "Notes") under the exemption from registration contained in Section (4)(1) of the Securities Act. Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed from time to time, with the aggregate face or principal amount of the Notes outstanding under the Program at any time not to exceed $600.0 million. At December 31, 2025, we had an aggregate of $590.0 million principal amount of Notes outstanding under the Program which had a weighted average interest rate of 3.84%.

In 2025, we repurchased 2,531,018 common shares at an average price of $106.92 per share for approximately $270.7 million.

Subsequent Events

In January 2026, we repurchased 1,096,807 common shares at an average price of $110.03 per share for approximately $120.7 million. In February 2026, our Board of Trust Managers authorized a new $600.0 million share repurchase plan which allows for the repurchase of our common equity securities through open-market purchases, block purchases, and privately negotiated transactions. This new plan terminated and replaced our previous share repurchase plan, which had approximately $58.6 million remaining for repurchases at the time it was terminated. As of the date of this filing, the full $600.0 million authorized under the new plan remained available for repurchases.

Future Outlook

Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to seek opportunities to acquire operating communities, develop new communities, and to redevelop and reposition existing communities. We also intend to evaluate our operating property and land development portfolios and plan to continue our practice of selective dispositions and redeploying capital as market conditions warrant and opportunities arise. We expect to maintain a strong balance sheet and preserve our financial flexibility by continuing to focus on our core fundamentals which currently are generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs. We intend to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements through a combination of one or more of the following: cash flows generated from operations, draws on our unsecured revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, the use of debt and equity offerings under our automatic shelf registration statement, proceeds from property dispositions, equity issued from our 2023 at-the-market ("ATM") program, other unsecured borrowings, or secured mortgages.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.2 billion available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, which we have at our option, the ability to extend to August 2027 and the ability to increase the facility up to $500 million subject to certain conditions. We currently plan to use our unsecured revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for borrowings under our commercial paper program. At December 31, 2025, we had $590.0 million outstanding under our commercial paper program. Over the next 12 months, contractual debt
