Independence Realty Trust Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

and

‘BBB’ Investment Grade Rating from S&P

PHILADELPHIA – (BUSINESS WIRE) – October 30, 2024 — Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) (NYSE: IRT), a multifamily apartment REIT, today announced its third quarter 2024 financial results and that it has received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings.

Third Quarter Highlights

•Net income available to common shares of $12.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Earnings per diluted share of $0.05 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.02 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Same-store portfolio net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 2.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $66.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $69.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. CFFO per share was $0.29 for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.30 for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by asset sales completed in connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $87.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $94.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by asset sales completed in connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, which also reduced net debt to Adjusted EBITDA from 7.0x for the third quarter of 2023 to 6.3x for the third quarter of 2024.

•Value add program completed renovations at 578 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, achieving a weighted average return on investment during the quarter of 14.9%.

•Strengthened our balance sheet by entering into forward equity sale transactions in connection with our previously announced public offering and ATM program issuances for a total of 13 million shares of our common stock, which have not settled as of the date of this release. Upon settlement of the forward equity sale transactions, we expect to use the approximately $246 million of net proceeds to fund acquisitions.

•Under contract on three property acquisitions totaling approximately $184 million, which are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2024 and be funded using forward equity sale proceeds and revolver debt.

•Received a ‘BBB’ investment grade credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings.

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, as well as discussion of our same-store methodology.

Management Commentary

“We completed several transformative transactions during the third quarter, along with delivering strong operating results in a dynamic market,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “In the quarter, we increased our average occupancy by 90 basis points to 95.4% with a 1.2% increase in average rental rates. We completed a $150 million private placement of unsecured notes to refinance 2025 debt maturities, raised $246 million of equity that will be directed toward accretive acquisitions and, lastly, we are pleased to announce that IRT received a ‘BBB’ investment grade rating from S&P.”

Investment Activity

Dispositions

•Tapestry Park, Birmingham, Alabama: On July 17, 2024, we sold this property for a gross sales price of $70.8 million and used the proceeds from this sale as part of a 1031 exchange to acquire the Gateway at Pinellas property described below.

Acquisitions

•Gateway at Pinellas, Tampa, Florida: On August 13, 2024, we acquired a 288-unit multifamily apartment community for $82.0 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida from 1,503 units to 1,791 units.

•We are currently under contract on acquisitions of three properties in Charlotte, Orlando, and Columbus, which will expand our footprint in each of these markets while providing enhanced scale and synergies. The aggregate purchase price of these three properties is approximately $184 million, which we expect to fund using forward equity sales proceeds and revolver debt. We expect to close on the acquisitions of these three properties during the fourth quarter of 2024. While these three properties are under contract, there can be no assurance that these acquisitions will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $7.3 million, or $223 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $27.6 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $15.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $20.8 million, or $635 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $74.3 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $41.6 million, respectively.

Capital Markets

At-the-Market-Offering

On July 28, 2023, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock under our shelf registration statement having an aggregate offering price of up to $450 million (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into a forward sale transaction under the ATM Program for the forward sale of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The forward sale transaction has not settled as of the date of this release, and we have not received any net proceeds from the offering as of the date of this release. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sale transaction by the maturity date of September 30, 2025. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $19.38 per share, we expect to

receive proceeds, net of sales commissions of approximately $29.1 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds to fund potential acquisitions and other investment opportunities or for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.

Private Placement of $150 Million of Unsecured Notes

On August 20, 2024, we announced our plan to sell up to $150 million of unsecured notes (the “Private Placement”), consisting of $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due 2031 and $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due 2034, to an institutional investor in a Private Placement at fixed annual interest rates of 5.32% and 5.53%, respectively. On October 1, 2024, the Private Placement was funded with proceeds, which we expect to use to repay approximately $132 million of property mortgages maturing in late 2024 and early 2025, and the remaining $18 million to reduce the borrowings under our unsecured credit facility. Upon completion of the full repayment of the foregoing approximately $132 million of maturing property mortgages, it is expected that over 60% of our assets’ NOI will be unencumbered.

Completed Public Offering of 11.5 Million Shares of Common Stock

On September 5, 2024, we announced the closing of an underwritten public offering of 11,500,000 shares of common stock at a price to the underwriters of $18.96 per share, including 1,500,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock. In connection with the offering, we entered into a forward sale agreement with Citigroup. The forward sale transaction has not settled as of the date of this release, and we have not received any net proceeds from the offering as of the date of this release. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $18.86 per share, we expect to receive proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of approximately $216.8 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds to fund potential acquisitions and other investment opportunities or for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.

‘BBB’ Issuer Credit Rating from S&P Global Ratings

On October 30, 2024, we received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating is for Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and our operating partnership Independence Realty Operating Partnership L.P.

Dividend Distribution

On September 17, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The third quarter dividend was paid on October 18, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024.

2024 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

We updated the midpoint of our 2024 earnings per diluted share and increased our FFO and CFFO per share guidance, while updating our depreciation and amortization, same store property revenue, components of operating expenses, acquisition volume, and recurring capital expenditure assumptions. A reconciliation of IRT's projected earnings per diluted share to its projected FFO and 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.

Previous Guidance Current Guidance Change at Midpoint
2024 Full Year EPS and CFFO Guidance(1)(2) Low High Low High
Earnings per share $ 0.36 $ 0.38 $ 0.295 $ 0.305 $ (0.07)
Adjustments:

CFFO per share $ 1.14 $ 1.16 $ 1.155 $ 1.165 $ 0.01

(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 the gains on sale (losses on impairment) recognized with respect to the seven properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

2024 Guidance Assumptions

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

Same-Store Portfolio Previous 2024 Outlook(1) Current 2024 Outlook(1) Change at Midpoint
Number of properties/units 108 properties / 32,153 units 108 properties / 32,153 units
Property revenue growth 3.0% to 3.3% 3.0% to 3.2% (0.05)%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.0% to 4.5% 5.4% to 6.2% 1.55%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 0.5% to 1.7% (1.3%) to (0.7%) (2.1)%
Total operating expense growth 2.6% to 3.4% 2.8% to 3.2%
NOI growth 2.7% to 3.7% 2.9% to 3.5%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & property<br>    management expenses $52.5 million to $53.5 million $52.5 million to $53.5 million
Interest expense(2) $83.0 million to $84.0 million $83.0 million to $84.0 million
Transaction/Investment Volume(3)
Acquisition volume $80 to $82 million $264 million to $268 million $185 million
Disposition volume $395 million $392 million to $396 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $21.0 million to $23.0 million $22.5 million to $23.5 million $1.0 million
Value add & non-recurring $76.0 million to $78.0 million $76.0 million to $78.0 million
Development $54.5 million to $55.5 million $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. We undertake no duty to update the assumptions used in our guidance except as required by law. 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)Acquisition volume reflects one property in Tampa that was acquired in the third quarter and three properties in Charlotte, Orlando, and Columbus that we expect to acquire in the fourth quarter of 2024. Disposition volume reflects the sale of seven properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections.

Schedule V

Independence Realty Trust, Inc.

Definitions

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of net rent amounts, after concessions amortized over the life of the lease, 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, 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, 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, 2024 Jun 30, 2024 Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023
Total debt $ 2,286,694 $ 2,252,559 $ 2,277,098 $ 2,549,409 $ 2,715,710
Less: cash and cash equivalents (17,611) (21,034) (21,275) (22,852) (17,216)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (33,970) (37,253) (39,804) (44,483) (50,772)
Total net debt $ 2,235,113 $ 2,194,272 $ 2,216,019 $ 2,482,074 $ 2,647,722

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, 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
Sep 30, 2024 Jun 30, 2024 Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023
Total assets $ 5,948,204 $ 5,940,261 $ 5,972,848 $ 6,280,175 $ 6,577,790
Plus: accumulated depreciation (a) 715,702 674,236 630,743 606,404 570,966
Plus: accumulated amortization 69,958 69,532 69,998 73,975 76,691
Total gross assets $ 6,733,864 $ 6,684,029 $ 6,673,589 $ 6,960,554 $ 7,225,447

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

Independence Realty Trust Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

and

‘BBB’ Investment Grade Rating from S&P

PHILADELPHIA – (BUSINESS WIRE) – October 30, 2024 — Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) (NYSE: IRT), a multifamily apartment REIT, today announced its third quarter 2024 financial results and that it has received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings.

Third Quarter Highlights

•Net income available to common shares of $12.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Earnings per diluted share of $0.05 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.02 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Same-store portfolio net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 2.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

•Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $66.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $69.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. CFFO per share was $0.29 for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.30 for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by asset sales completed in connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy.

•Adjusted EBITDA of $87.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $94.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by asset sales completed in connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, which also reduced net debt to Adjusted EBITDA from 7.0x for the third quarter of 2023 to 6.3x for the third quarter of 2024.

•Value add program completed renovations at 578 units during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, achieving a weighted average return on investment during the quarter of 14.9%.

•Strengthened our balance sheet by entering into forward equity sale transactions in connection with our previously announced public offering and ATM program issuances for a total of 13 million shares of our common stock, which have not settled as of the date of this release. Upon settlement of the forward equity sale transactions, we expect to use the approximately $246 million of net proceeds to fund acquisitions.

•Under contract on three property acquisitions totaling approximately $184 million, which are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2024 and be funded using forward equity sale proceeds and revolver debt.

•Received a ‘BBB’ investment grade credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings.

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, as well as discussion of our same-store methodology.

Management Commentary

“We completed several transformative transactions during the third quarter, along with delivering strong operating results in a dynamic market,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “In the quarter, we increased our average occupancy by 90 basis points to 95.4% with a 1.2% increase in average rental rates. We completed a $150 million private placement of unsecured notes to refinance 2025 debt maturities, raised $246 million of equity that will be directed toward accretive acquisitions and, lastly, we are pleased to announce that IRT received a ‘BBB’ investment grade rating from S&P.”

Investment Activity

Dispositions

•Tapestry Park, Birmingham, Alabama: On July 17, 2024, we sold this property for a gross sales price of $70.8 million and used the proceeds from this sale as part of a 1031 exchange to acquire the Gateway at Pinellas property described below.

Acquisitions

•Gateway at Pinellas, Tampa, Florida: On August 13, 2024, we acquired a 288-unit multifamily apartment community for $82.0 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida from 1,503 units to 1,791 units.

•We are currently under contract on acquisitions of three properties in Charlotte, Orlando, and Columbus, which will expand our footprint in each of these markets while providing enhanced scale and synergies. The aggregate purchase price of these three properties is approximately $184 million, which we expect to fund using forward equity sales proceeds and revolver debt. We expect to close on the acquisitions of these three properties during the fourth quarter of 2024. While these three properties are under contract, there can be no assurance that these acquisitions will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $7.3 million, or $223 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $27.6 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $15.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $20.8 million, or $635 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $74.3 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $41.6 million, respectively.

Capital Markets

At-the-Market-Offering

On July 28, 2023, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock under our shelf registration statement having an aggregate offering price of up to $450 million (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into a forward sale transaction under the ATM Program for the forward sale of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The forward sale transaction has not settled as of the date of this release, and we have not received any net proceeds from the offering as of the date of this release. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sale transaction by the maturity date of September 30, 2025. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $19.38 per share, we expect to

gryvd1y3alxt000002.jpg

receive proceeds, net of sales commissions of approximately $29.1 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds to fund potential acquisitions and other investment opportunities or for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.

Private Placement of $150 Million of Unsecured Notes

On August 20, 2024, we announced our plan to sell up to $150 million of unsecured notes (the “Private Placement”), consisting of $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due 2031 and $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due 2034, to an institutional investor in a Private Placement at fixed annual interest rates of 5.32% and 5.53%, respectively. On October 1, 2024, the Private Placement was funded with proceeds, which we expect to use to repay approximately $132 million of property mortgages maturing in late 2024 and early 2025, and the remaining $18 million to reduce the borrowings under our unsecured credit facility. Upon completion of the full repayment of the foregoing approximately $132 million of maturing property mortgages, it is expected that over 60% of our assets’ NOI will be unencumbered.

Completed Public Offering of 11.5 Million Shares of Common Stock

On September 5, 2024, we announced the closing of an underwritten public offering of 11,500,000 shares of common stock at a price to the underwriters of $18.96 per share, including 1,500,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of common stock. In connection with the offering, we entered into a forward sale agreement with Citigroup. The forward sale transaction has not settled as of the date of this release, and we have not received any net proceeds from the offering as of the date of this release. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $18.86 per share, we expect to receive proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of approximately $216.8 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds to fund potential acquisitions and other investment opportunities or for general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured credit facility.

‘BBB’ Issuer Credit Rating from S&P Global Ratings

On October 30, 2024, we received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating is for Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and our operating partnership Independence Realty Operating Partnership L.P.

Dividend Distribution

On September 17, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The third quarter dividend was paid on October 18, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024.

2024 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

We updated the midpoint of our 2024 earnings per diluted share and increased our FFO and CFFO per share guidance, while updating our depreciation and amortization, same store property revenue, components of operating expenses, acquisition volume, and recurring capital expenditure assumptions. A reconciliation of IRT's projected earnings per diluted share to its projected FFO and 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.

Previous Guidance Current Guidance Change at Midpoint
2024 Full Year EPS and CFFO Guidance(1)(2) Low High Low High
Earnings per share $ 0.36 $ 0.38 $ 0.295 $ 0.305 $ (0.07)
Adjustments:
Depreciation and amortization 0.87 0.87 0.95 0.95 0.08

CFFO per share $ 1.14 $ 1.16 $ 1.155 $ 1.165 $ 0.01

(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 the gains on sale (losses on impairment) recognized with respect to the seven properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

2024 Guidance Assumptions

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

Same-Store Portfolio Previous 2024 Outlook(1) Current 2024 Outlook(1) Change at Midpoint
Number of properties/units 108 properties / 32,153 units 108 properties / 32,153 units
Property revenue growth 3.0% to 3.3% 3.0% to 3.2% (0.05)%
Controllable operating expense growth 4.0% to 4.5% 5.4% to 6.2% 1.55%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth 0.5% to 1.7% (1.3%) to (0.7%) (2.1)%
Total operating expense growth 2.6% to 3.4% 2.8% to 3.2%
NOI growth 2.7% to 3.7% 2.9% to 3.5%
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & property<br>    management expenses $52.5 million to $53.5 million $52.5 million to $53.5 million
Interest expense(2) $83.0 million to $84.0 million $83.0 million to $84.0 million
Transaction/Investment Volume(3)
Acquisition volume $80 to $82 million $264 million to $268 million $185 million
Disposition volume $395 million $392 million to $396 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring $21.0 million to $23.0 million $22.5 million to $23.5 million $1.0 million
Value add & non-recurring $76.0 million to $78.0 million $76.0 million to $78.0 million
Development $54.5 million to $55.5 million $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. We undertake no duty to update the assumptions used in our guidance except as required by law. 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)Acquisition volume reflects one property in Tampa that was acquired in the third quarter and three properties in Charlotte, Orlando, and Columbus that we expect to acquire in the fourth quarter of 2024. Disposition volume reflects the sale of seven properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections.

DEFINITIONS

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of net rent amounts, after concessions amortized over the life of the lease, 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, 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, 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

gryvd1y3alxt000002.jpg

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, 2024 Jun 30, 2024 Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023
Total debt $ 2,286,694 $ 2,252,559 $ 2,277,098 $ 2,549,409 $ 2,715,710
Less: cash and cash equivalents (17,611) (21,034) (21,275) (22,852) (17,216)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net (33,970) (37,253) (39,804) (44,483) (50,772)
Total net debt $ 2,235,113 $ 2,194,272 $ 2,216,019 $ 2,482,074 $ 2,647,722

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, 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.

Same-store portfolio NOI $ 97,073 $ 94,928 $ 94,371 $ 97,164 $ 94,952

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
Sep 30, 2024 Jun 30, 2024 Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Sep 30, 2023
Total assets $ 5,948,204 $ 5,940,261 $ 5,972,848 $ 6,280,175 $ 6,577,790
