Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 30, 2023, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, we are furnishing certain supplemental information with this Current Report. Copies of such press release and such supplemental information are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02. The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 2.06     Material Impairments.

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our “Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy,” to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of 10 properties (collectively, the “Targeted Sales Properties”), including one property in Chicago, Illinois that was held for sale as of September 30, 2023. The Targeted Sales Properties contain an aggregate of 2,742 units and are located in or around Denver, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Chicago, Illinois, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Norfolk, Virginia and Asheville, North Carolina.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we have recorded an impairment charge for the third quarter 2023 of $11.3 million related to our property in Chicago, Illinois that was held for sale as of September 30, 2023. In addition, as of the date of this Current Report, we have determined that we will be required, under GAAP, to record an impairment charge in the fourth quarter 2023 for three other Targeted Sales Properties and currently estimate the amount of the impairment charge to be between $23 and $25 million, in aggregate.

Due to the early stage of our sales activities with respect to the other six Targeted Sales Properties, as of the date of this Current Report, given currently available information, and pending the outcome of the sales processes, we expect to incur impairment charges for certain of these properties in the fourth quarter 2023 ranging between $32 and $38 million, in aggregate.

Our estimates of impairment charges are preliminary and subject to change. The actual amount of impairment charges may be higher or lower than our estimates and will depend on the terms of actual sales, if any. There can be no assurance that any of the targeted sales will be consummated within the contemplated prices ranges, within the contemplated time frames, or at all.

Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

The information provided in Item 2.02 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01. The information incorporated by reference into this this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Independence Realty Trust Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Initiates Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

Updates Full Year 2023 Guidance

PHILADELPHIA – (BUSINESS WIRE) – October 30, 2023 — Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) (NYSE: IRT), a multifamily apartment REIT, today announced its third quarter 2023 financial results, initiated its portfolio optimization strategy and updated its full year 2023 guidance.

Third Quarter Highlights

•Net income available to common shares of $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Earnings per diluted share of $0.02 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.07 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Same-store portfolio net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 4.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $69.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $64.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. CFFO per share was $0.30 for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $94.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $89.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 5.7%.

•Value add program completed renovations at 709 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, achieving a weighted average return on investment during the quarter of 14.2%.

Included later in this press release are definitions of NOI, CFFO, Adjusted EBITDA and other Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such measures to their most comparable financial measures as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management Commentary

“For the third quarter of 2023, we delivered growth of 4.8% in same store NOI and 7.1% in Core FFO per share and we remain focused on delivering sustainable operational efficiencies. We are updating our full year 2023 guidance to reflect the impact of the slowing macroeconomic environment on leasing activity.” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “We are also commencing a portfolio optimization and deleveraging strategy that will accelerate non-core asset sales while deleveraging our balance sheet in the near-term. We expect these initiatives will increase our financial flexibility and will reduce leverage by almost a full turn upon completion of all asset sales. We are confident that these initiatives will strengthen our balance sheet and improve our presence in the multifamily sector in 2024.”

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

We continuously evaluate opportunities for the potential disposition of properties in our portfolio by considering a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, local market conditions and lease rates, our scale within the

markets, our view of market demographics and growth prospects and potential uses of sales proceeds. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of approximately 10 properties that are located in seven markets, including the one property in Chicago, Illinois that was held for sale as of September 30, 2023. Nine of the 10 properties were acquired in December 2021 as part of the STAR merger. We currently expect these asset sales to generate gross sales proceeds of approximately $521 to $533 million with proceeds used to immediately delever our balance sheet.

We estimate that these asset sales, if consummated within the foregoing price range, will enable us to reduce our outstanding debt by approximately $516 to $528 million (comprised of $284 million of property level debt associated with the ten properties and $232 to $244 million of additional debt), will reduce our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio by 0.8x to 0.9x, and will be dilutive to Core FFO per share by $0.02-$0.03. In addition, consummation of the targeted sales would reduce our market exposures by five single asset markets and reduce the average age of the properties in our portfolio by approximately one year.

We expect to recognize an aggregate net loss after completion of all sales in the range of approximately $39 to $51 million comprised of an $11.3 million impairment charge recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to our property in Chicago, Illinois that is currently held for sale; an estimated $55 to $63 million impairment charge we expect to recognize during the fourth quarter of 2023 with respect to certain of the properties targeted for sale; and estimated gains of approximately $24 to $28 million we expect to realize in the periods of sale of certain of the properties targeted for sale.

We are in various stages of marketing, negotiations, and buyer due diligence with respect to the properties targeted for sale. There can be no assurance that any of the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all. The estimates of sale prices discussed above are based on our assessment of current conditions in the markets where the properties are located, comparable sales data, characteristics and operating performance of the properties among other factors and are subject to numerous assumptions.

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 709 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, achieving a return on investment of 14.2% (and approximately 15.3% on the interior portion of such renovation costs), with an average cost per unit renovated of $17,750, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $210. For the nine months end September 30, 2023, we have completed renovations on 1,969 units, achieving a return on investment of 16.0% (and approximately 17.3% on the interior portion of such renovation costs), with an average cost per unit renovated of $16,947, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $224. See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental for additional information on our projects life to date as of September 30, 2023.

Investment Activity

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $5.3 million, or $153 per unit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $15.8 million, or $454 per unit.

Capital Markets

Dividend Distribution

On September 12, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The third quarter dividend was paid on October 20, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 29, 2023.

2023 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

We reduced our EPS, FFO, and CFFO per share guidance ranges and our same store NOI guidance range. Earnings (loss) per diluted share is now projected to be in the range of ($0.07) to ($0.02). A reconciliation of IRT's projected net (loss) 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.

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2023 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 230.4 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

(3)Gain on sale (loss on impairment) of real estate assets includes gains (impairments) on one asset sale that occurred during the first quarter of 2023, one property identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023, and nine other assets targeted for sale as part of our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy.

2023 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2023 are enumerated below. See definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.

Same-Store Portfolio Previous 2023 Outlook Current 2023 Outlook(1) Change at Midpoint
Number of properties/units 115 properties / 34,179 units 106 properties / 31,829 units
Property revenue growth 6.1% to 6.6% 5.5% to 5.7% (0.75)%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.7% to 5.4% 6.0% to 7.0% 1.40%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 7.5% to 8.1% 4.2% to 4.8% (3.30)%
Total operating expense growth 5.7% to 6.4% 5.5% to 5.9% (0.35)%
Property NOI growth 6.0% to 7.0% 5.3% to 5.7% (1.00)%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & Property<br>    management expenses $50.5 million to $51.5 million $50.0 million to $51.0 million $(0.5) million
Interest expense(2) $102.5 million to $103.5 million $101.0 million to $102.0 million $(1.5) million
Transaction/Investment Volume(3)
Acquisition volume None None
Disposition volume $122 million to $127 million $122 million to $127 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $20.0 million to $22.0 million $20.0 million to $21.0 million $(0.5) million
Value add & non-recurring $78.0 million to $82.0 million $83.0 million to $85.0 million $4.0 million
Development $80.0 million to $90.0 million $75.0 million to $80.0 million $(7.5) 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 a $72.1 million loan premium, net, related to STAR debt. This loan premium will be accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion will be excluded from CFFO.

(3)Includes one asset sale that occurred in the first quarter 2023 and one property identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. We expect sales of the other nine properties included in the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy to close in 2024. Actual acquisitions and dispositions could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions except as required by law. 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 gains on sales (losses on impairment) 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, gains or losses on sales 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
Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Sep 30, 2022
Total debt $ 2,715,710 $ 2,650,805 $ 2,628,632 $ 2,631,645 $ 2,713,625
Less: cash and cash equivalents (17,216) (14,349) (12,448) (16,084) (23,753)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (50,772) (53,520) (56,256) (59,937) (63,340)
Total net debt $ 2,647,722 $ 2,582,936 $ 2,559,928 $ 2,555,624 $ 2,626,532

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.

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
Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Sep 30, 2022
Total assets $ 6,577,790 $ 6,517,400 $ 6,493,747 $ 6,532,095 $ 6,633,533
Plus: accumulated depreciation (a) 570,966 523,446 475,001 426,097 386,606
Plus: accumulated amortization 76,691 76,558 76,558 76,710 77,141
Total gross assets $ 7,225,447 $ 7,117,404 $ 7,045,306 $ 7,034,902 $ 7,097,280

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

Independence Realty Trust Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

PHILADELPHIA – (BUSINESS WIRE) – October 30, 2023 — Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) (NYSE: IRT), a multifamily apartment REIT, today announced its third quarter 2023 financial results, initiated its portfolio optimization strategy and updated its full year 2023 guidance.

Third Quarter Highlights

•Net income available to common shares of $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Earnings per diluted share of $0.02 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.07 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Same-store portfolio net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 4.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

•Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $69.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $64.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. CFFO per share was $0.30 for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $0.28 for the third quarter of 2022.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $94.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $89.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 5.7%.

•Value add program completed renovations at 709 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, achieving a weighted average return on investment during the quarter of 14.2%.

Management Commentary

“For the third quarter of 2023, we delivered growth of 4.8% in same store NOI and 7.1% in Core FFO per share and we remain focused on delivering sustainable operational efficiencies. We are updating our full year 2023 guidance to reflect the impact of the slowing macroeconomic environment on leasing activity.” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “We are also commencing a portfolio optimization and deleveraging strategy that will accelerate non-core asset sales while deleveraging our balance sheet in the near-term. We expect these initiatives will increase our financial flexibility and will reduce leverage by almost a full turn upon completion of all asset sales. We are confident that these initiatives will strengthen our balance sheet and improve our presence in the multifamily sector in 2024.”

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

We continuously evaluate opportunities for the potential disposition of properties in our portfolio by considering a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, local market conditions and lease rates, our scale within the

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.jpg

markets, our view of market demographics and growth prospects and potential uses of sales proceeds. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of approximately 10 properties that are located in seven markets, including the one property in Chicago, Illinois that was held for sale as of September 30, 2023. Nine of the 10 properties were acquired in December 2021 as part of the STAR merger. We currently expect these asset sales to generate gross sales proceeds of approximately $521 to $533 million with proceeds used to immediately delever our balance sheet.

We estimate that these asset sales, if consummated within the foregoing price range, will enable us to reduce our outstanding debt by approximately $516 to $528 million (comprised of $284 million of property level debt associated with the ten properties and $232 to $244 million of additional debt), will reduce our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio by 0.8x to 0.9x, and will be dilutive to Core FFO per share by $0.02-$0.03. In addition, consummation of the targeted sales would reduce our market exposures by five single asset markets and reduce the average age of the properties in our portfolio by approximately one year.

We expect to recognize an aggregate net loss after completion of all sales in the range of approximately $39 to $51 million comprised of an $11.3 million impairment charge recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to our property in Chicago, Illinois that is currently held for sale; an estimated $55 to $63 million impairment charge we expect to recognize during the fourth quarter of 2023 with respect to certain of the properties targeted for sale; and estimated gains of approximately $24 to $28 million we expect to realize in the periods of sale of certain of the properties targeted for sale.

We are in various stages of marketing, negotiations, and buyer due diligence with respect to the properties targeted for sale. There can be no assurance that any of the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all. The estimates of sale prices discussed above are based on our assessment of current conditions in the markets where the properties are located, comparable sales data, characteristics and operating performance of the properties among other factors and are subject to numerous assumptions.

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 709 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, achieving a return on investment of 14.2% (and approximately 15.3% on the interior portion of such renovation costs), with an average cost per unit renovated of $17,750, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $210. For the nine months end September 30, 2023, we have completed renovations on 1,969 units, achieving a return on investment of 16.0% (and approximately 17.3% on the interior portion of such renovation costs), with an average cost per unit renovated of $16,947, and an average monthly rent increase per renovated unit of $224. See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental for additional information on our projects life to date as of September 30, 2023.

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.jpg

We reduced our EPS, FFO, and CFFO per share guidance ranges and our same store NOI guidance range. Earnings (loss) per diluted share is now projected to be in the range of ($0.07) to ($0.02). A reconciliation of IRT's projected net (loss) 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.

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2023 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 230.4 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

(3)Gain on sale (loss on impairment) of real estate assets includes gains (impairments) on one asset sale that occurred during the first quarter of 2023, one property identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023, and nine other assets targeted for sale as part of our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy.

2023 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2023 are enumerated below. See definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.

Same-Store Portfolio Previous 2023 Outlook Current 2023 Outlook(1) Change at Midpoint
Number of properties/units 115 properties / 34,179 units 106 properties / 31,829 units
Property revenue growth 6.1% to 6.6% 5.5% to 5.7% (0.75)%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.7% to 5.4% 6.0% to 7.0% 1.40%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 7.5% to 8.1% 4.2% to 4.8% (3.30)%
Total operating expense growth 5.7% to 6.4% 5.5% to 5.9% (0.35)%
Property NOI growth 6.0% to 7.0% 5.3% to 5.7% (1.00)%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & Property<br>    management expenses $50.5 million to $51.5 million $50.0 million to $51.0 million $(0.5) million
Interest expense(2) $102.5 million to $103.5 million $101.0 million to $102.0 million $(1.5) million
Transaction/Investment Volume(3)
Acquisition volume None None
Disposition volume $122 million to $127 million $122 million to $127 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $20.0 million to $22.0 million $20.0 million to $21.0 million $(0.5) million
Value add & non-recurring $78.0 million to $82.0 million $83.0 million to $85.0 million $4.0 million
Development $80.0 million to $90.0 million $75.0 million to $80.0 million $(7.5) 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 a $72.1 million loan premium, net, related to STAR debt. This loan premium will be accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion will be excluded from CFFO.

(3)Includes one asset sale that occurred in the first quarter 2023 and one property identified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. We expect sales of the other nine properties included in the Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy to close in 2024. Actual acquisitions and dispositions could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions except as required by law. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

All values are in US Dollars.

(a) The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit 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.

(b)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.

(c)Calculated using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit.

(d)Calculated using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the total renovation costs per unit.

(e)During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we paused renovations at one property comprised of 496 units in Atlanta, Georgia given current market conditions.

(f)Renovation projects expected to commence during the first half of 2024.

(g)We consider value add projects completed when over 85% of the property’s units to be renovated have been completed. We continue to renovate remaining unrenovated units as leases expire until we complete 100% of the property’s units.

(h)Includes Meadows, Haverford, Crestmont and Creekside that were formerly a part of the value add program but were sold in October 2022 (with respect to Meadows), February 2022 (with respect to Haverford) and December 2021 (with respect to Crestmont and Creekside).

(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)Operations commenced during Q2 2023 with 172 units placed in service. The remaining 230 units were placed in service during Q3 2023.

(c)Views of Music City phase II had 121 units placed in service during Q3 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 one year from their respective delivery dates to exercise our purchase options on The Crockett and Views of Music City phase II.

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 gains on sales (losses on impairment) 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, gains or losses on sales 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

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.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
Sep 30, 2023 Jun 30, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Dec 31, 2022 Sep 30, 2022
Total debt $ 2,715,710 $ 2,650,805 $ 2,628,632 $ 2,631,645 $ 2,713,625
Less: cash and cash equivalents (17,216) (14,349) (12,448) (16,084) (23,753)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (50,772) (53,520) (56,256) (59,937) (63,340)
Total net debt $ 2,647,722 $ 2,582,936 $ 2,559,928 $ 2,555,624 $ 2,626,532

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.
