Management Commentary

“For full year 2023, we delivered growth of 5.7% in same-store NOI and 6.5% in CFFO per share as we remained focused on driving occupancy and delivering our planned value add improvements,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “In fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2024-to-date, we have made notable progress advancing our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, selling six non-core assets, which strengthened our balance sheet. As we look out to full year 2024, we will continue to take decisive action to drive value, prioritize higher resident retention and lower unit vacancies. We also plan to fully execute our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, thereby increasing our financial flexibility and decreasing our leverage.”

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy Update

On October 30, 2023, we announced our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, which targets sales of 10 properties located in seven markets in order to exit or reduce our presence in these markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. On January 3, 2024, we announced that four properties in four markets were sold in December 2023 for a total gross sales price of $200.7 million and proceeds from the sales were used to repay $196.8 million of debt.

As discussed further below, the six remaining assets that are part of the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023. Two of these six assets were sold subsequent to December 31, 2023 and, as of the date of this release, the remaining four assets are under contract, through due diligence, and are expected to close in the first quarter of 2024. Once the sale of all 10 properties are complete, we expect to have generated $525 million in gross sales proceeds, used those proceeds to reduce our outstanding debt by approximately $519 million, reduced our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio by approximately 0.8x with a $0.03 dilutive impact to CFFO, and to have exited five single asset markets.

While the four remaining properties that are part of the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy are under contract, there can be no assurance that the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 486 units during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, achieving a return on investment of 17.1%, with an average cost per unit renovated of $18,264, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $260. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we have completed renovations on 2,455 units, achieving a return on investment of 16.1%, with an average cost per unit renovated of $17,208, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $231. See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental for additional information on our projects life to date as of December 31, 2023.

In addition, we’ve added several new communities to our value add program and anticipate starting renovations at those communities during the first half of 2024.

Investment Activity

Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions

In connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, we sold properties during the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2024 as follows.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we sold four properties for a combined sales price of $200.7 million and we recognized a net loss on impairment of $34.8 million.

As of December 31, 2023, we had six properties classified as held for sale. We recorded an impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2023 related to five of the six properties in the aggregate amount of $33.0 million. We expect to recognize a gain of approximately $25.9 million upon the sale of the sixth property.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, we sold two properties that had been classified as held for sale for gross sales proceeds of $128 million. The proceeds from all dispositions were used or will be used to reduce indebtedness.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $3.6 million, or $107 per unit. For the year ended December 31, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $19.4 million, or $576 per unit.

Dividend Distribution

On December 11, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The fourth quarter dividend was paid on January 19, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 29, 2023.

2024 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

We are introducing 2024 EPS, FFO, and CFFO per share and same-store NOI guidance ranges. Earnings per diluted share is projected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.44. A reconciliation of IRT's projected net income allocable to common shares to its projected CFFO per share is included below. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for

management’s definition and rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.

2024 Full Year EPS and CFFO Guidance(1)(2) Low High
Earnings per share $ 0.40 $ 0.44
Adjustments:
Depreciation and amortization 0.87 0.87
Gain on sale of real estate assets(3) (0.11) (0.11)
FFO per share 1.16 1.20
Loan (premium accretion) discount amortization, net (0.04) (0.04)
CFFO per share $ 1.12 $ 1.16

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2024 EPS, FFO, and CFFO could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements”. Our guidance is based on the key guidance assumptions detailed below.

(2)Per share guidance is based on 230.9 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

(3)Gain on sale of real estate assets includes a gain expected to be realized in Q1 2024 related to the sale of one of the properties identified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2024 are enumerated below. See definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.

Same-Store Portfolio 2024 Outlook(1)
Number of properties/units 109 properties / 32,507 units
Property revenue growth 3.0% to 4.5%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.9% to 5.9%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 6.1% to 7.1%
Total operating expense growth 5.4% to 6.4%
NOI growth 1.0% to 4.0%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & Property management expenses $51.5 million to $54.5 million
Interest expense(2) $83.0 million to $85.0 million
Transaction/Investment Volume
Acquisition volume None
Disposition volume(3) $324 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $21.0 million to $23.0 million
Value add & non-recurring $83.0 million to $85.0 million
Development $54.5 million to $55.5 million

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements” .

(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.

(3)Includes $128 million related to the sale of two of the six properties identified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and $196 million related to the other four properties, which are under contract and expected to be sold in Q1 2024. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

Schedule V

Independence Realty Trust, Inc.

Definitions

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the average effective rent per month.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy represents the average occupied units for the reporting period divided by the average of total units available for rent for the reporting period.

Development Property

A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before certain other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses, merger and integration costs, income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and restructuring costs. We consider each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash or non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds From Operations (“CFFO”)

We believe that FFO and CFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as casualty (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization, debt extinguishment costs, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current

operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense.

Net Debt

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).

As of
Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022
Total debt $ 2,549,409 $ 2,715,710 $ 2,650,805 $ 2,628,632 $ 2,631,645
Less: cash and cash equivalents (22,851) (17,216) (14,349) (12,448) (16,084)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (44,483) (50,772) (53,520) (56,256) (59,937)
Total net debt $ 2,482,075 $ 2,647,722 $ 2,582,936 $ 2,559,928 $ 2,555,624

We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful measure of our credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited because we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis.

Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses, net gains on sale of assets, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio

Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on value add renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the value add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.

Return on Investment (“ROI”) on value add renovations

ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on value add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.

Total Gross Assets

Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (dollars in thousands).

As of
Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022
Total assets $ 6,280,175 $ 6,577,790 $ 6,517,400 $ 6,493,747 $ 6,532,095
Plus: accumulated depreciation (a) 606,404 570,966 523,446 475,001 426,097
Plus: accumulated amortization 73,975 76,691 76,558 76,558 76,710
Total gross assets $ 6,960,554 $ 7,225,447 $ 7,117,404 $ 7,045,306 $ 7,034,902

(a)Includes accumulated depreciation associated with real estate held for sale, as applicable.

Management Commentary

“For full year 2023, we delivered growth of 5.7% in same-store NOI and 6.5% in CFFO per share as we remained focused on driving occupancy and delivering our planned value add improvements,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “In fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2024-to-date, we have made notable progress advancing our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, selling six non-core assets, which strengthened our balance sheet. As we look out to full year 2024, we will continue to take decisive action to drive value, prioritize higher resident retention and lower unit vacancies. We also plan to fully execute our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, thereby increasing our financial flexibility and decreasing our leverage.”

As discussed further below, the six remaining assets that are part of the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023. Two of these six assets were sold subsequent to December 31, 2023 and, as of the date of this release, the remaining four assets are under contract, through due diligence, and are expected to close in the first quarter of 2024. Once the sale of all 10 properties are complete, we expect to have generated $525 million in gross sales proceeds, used those proceeds to reduce our outstanding debt by approximately $519 million, reduced our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio by approximately 0.8x with a $0.03 dilutive impact to CFFO, and to have exited five single asset markets.

While the four remaining properties that are part of the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy are under contract, there can be no assurance that the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 486 units during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, achieving a return on investment of 17.1%, with an average cost per unit renovated of $18,264, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $260. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we have completed renovations on 2,455 units, achieving a return on investment of 16.1%, with an average cost per unit renovated of $17,208, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $231. See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental for additional information on our projects life to date as of December 31, 2023.

In addition, we’ve added several new communities to our value add program and anticipate starting renovations at those communities during the first half of 2024.

Investment Activity

Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions

In connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, we sold properties during the fourth quarter 2023 and first quarter 2024 as follows.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we sold four properties for a combined sales price of $200.7 million and we recognized a net loss on impairment of $34.8 million.

As of December 31, 2023, we had six properties classified as held for sale. We recorded an impairment charge during the three months ended December 31, 2023 related to five of the six properties in the aggregate amount of $33.0 million. We expect to recognize a gain of approximately $25.9 million upon the sale of the sixth property.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, we sold two properties that had been classified as held for sale for gross sales proceeds of $128 million. The proceeds from all dispositions were used or will be used to reduce indebtedness.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $3.6 million, or $107 per unit. For the year ended December 31, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $19.4 million, or $576 per unit.

Dividend Distribution

On December 11, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The fourth quarter dividend was paid on January 19, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 29, 2023.

2024 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

We are introducing 2024 EPS, FFO, and CFFO per share and same-store NOI guidance ranges. Earnings per diluted share is projected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.44. A reconciliation of IRT's projected net income allocable to common shares to its projected CFFO per share is included below. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for management’s definition and rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.

2024 Full Year EPS and CFFO Guidance(1)(2) Low High
Earnings per share $ 0.40 $ 0.44
Adjustments:
Depreciation and amortization 0.87 0.87
Gain on sale of real estate assets(3) (0.11) (0.11)
FFO per share 1.16 1.20
Loan (premium accretion) discount amortization, net (0.04) (0.04)
CFFO per share $ 1.12 $ 1.16

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2024 EPS, FFO, and CFFO could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements”. Our guidance is based on the key guidance assumptions detailed below.

(2)Per share guidance is based on 230.9 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

(3)Gain on sale of real estate assets includes a gain expected to be realized in Q1 2024 related to the sale of one of the properties identified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

gryvd1y3alxt000002.jpg

2024 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2024 are enumerated below. See definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.

Same-Store Portfolio 2024 Outlook(1)
Number of properties/units 109 properties / 32,507 units
Property revenue growth 3.0% to 4.5%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.9% to 5.9%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 6.1% to 7.1%
Total operating expense growth 5.4% to 6.4%
NOI growth 1.0% to 4.0%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & Property management expenses $51.5 million to $54.5 million
Interest expense(2) $83.0 million to $85.0 million
Transaction/Investment Volume
Acquisition volume None
Disposition volume(3) $324 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $21.0 million to $23.0 million
Value add & non-recurring $83.0 million to $85.0 million
Development $54.5 million to $55.5 million

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements” .

(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.

(3)Includes $128 million related to the sale of two of the six properties identified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and $196 million related to the other four properties, which are under contract and expected to be sold in Q1 2024. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

(a)Virtuoso was a former unconsolidated real estate entity that consists of 178 units in Huntsville, Alabama. We reassessed the accounting for Virtuoso upon an amendment to the joint venture agreement on August 1, 2023, and concluded that it is a voting interest entity and that we now control the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture through our 90% voting interest. Therefore, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities of the property and its operating results effective August 1, 2023.

(b)Metropolis at Innsbrook is an operating property consisting of 402 units. We have a call option which takes effect on June 1, 2024 to exercise our purchase option on Metropolis at Innsbrook when the property achieves 90% occupancy, which we anticipate will occur in October 2024.

(c)Views of Music City phase II had 88 units placed in service during Q4 2023 and became an operating property consisting of 209 total units as of October 2, 2023. The Crockett is an operating property consisting of 199 units delivered in Q1 2023. We have until April 4, 2024 and October 1, 2024 to exercise our purchase options on The Crockett and Views of Music City II, respectively.

DEFINITIONS

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the average effective rent per month.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy represents the average occupied units for the reporting period divided by the average of total units available for rent for the reporting period.

Development Property

A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before certain other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses, merger and integration costs, income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and restructuring costs. We consider each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash or non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds From Operations (“CFFO”)

We believe that FFO and CFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as casualty (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization, debt extinguishment costs, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we

gryvd1y3alxt000002.jpg

believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense.

Net Debt

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).

As of
Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022
Total debt $ 2,549,409 $ 2,715,710 $ 2,650,805 $ 2,628,632 $ 2,631,645
Less: cash and cash equivalents (22,851) (17,216) (14,349) (12,448) (16,084)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (44,483) (50,772) (53,520) (56,256) (59,937)
Total net debt $ 2,482,075 $ 2,647,722 $ 2,582,936 $ 2,559,928 $ 2,555,624

We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful measure of our credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited because we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis.

Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses, net gains on sale of assets, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio

Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on value add renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the value add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.

gryvd1y3alxt000002.jpg

Return on Investment (“ROI”) on value add renovations

ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on value add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.

Total Gross Assets

Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (dollars in thousands).

As of
Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022
